SHIPPING SERVICES.
RESTORATION IN AUSTRALIA. AIELBOURNE, Feb. 10. Although the Boilermakers’, Shipwrights’. and Amalgamated Engineering Union invited a conference of Federal unions to discuss the shipping strike, no representatives attended today, which indicates that they are not interested in the extension of the strike. The conference discussed the rejection by seamen of the owners' terms, and decided again to approach the owners at another conference.
All cargo services and main passengei services are now restored with licensed crews. There are no vacancies for unionists on any Alelbourne ship. Air R. G. Alenzies (Federal AttorneyGeneral) said to-day that of the 2320 positions rendered vacant by the strike 1780 had been filled by licensed volunteers, and many men were waiting to fill the 500 remaining positions. Of 112 vessels rendered idle at all ports, 93 had been recommissioned. Regulations giving permanent preference to volunteers will be gazetted in a few days. ,
