WATERSIDERS TO RESUME.

BREAK AYITH UNION,

SYDNEY, April 7. Members of the Waterside 'Workers’ Federation have decided to present themsleves for work at the coastal shipping wharves on Thursday, where work has previously i b eell done by volunteers, as the owners have refused to negotiate with the Seamen’s Union for a settlement of the strike. The action of the wharf lauburers is considered as a break with the Seamen’s Union.—Press Association. EFFECT OF AMALGAMATION. INFLUENCE FOR WORKERS’ UNION. Received April 8, 9.45 a.m. SYDNEY, April 8. The effect of tho amalgamation of the deposed 'executive and the industrial sections of the Australian Labour Party conference will be to prevent tho militants led by Beasley and Garden gaining control of the Labour machine, which, it is contended, would mean imperilling the life of the Government. If the amalgamation is successful the Australian Workers’ Union will exercise a dominating influence on the new Australian Labour Party executive. —Press Association. STEVEDORES’ DISPUTE. MELBOURNE, April 7. The stevedores held a stop-work meeting to discuss the present system of picking up and delayed all overseas shipping, as no work was done after mid-day.
