SEAMEN REFUSE TO SAIL ON HOKIANGA
QUOTA NOT AGREED TO. Per Press Association. AUCKLAND, Last Night. Owing to a dispute between the Soamens’ Union and A. E. Frankham, Limited, owners of the auxiliary schooner, Hokianga, the schooner has been declared “black” and members of the union are now debarred from signing on the vessel. The Hokianga carries a crew of eight, including two able seamen and one ordinary seaman. The dispute is due to the fact that A. E. Frankham, Limited, are not members of the Shipowners’ Federation and the . company will not work three seamen on tho Hokianga in accordance with the agreement made by the Shipowners’ Federation and the Seamens’ Union. The latter is not registered under the Arbitration Act and the union cannot cite Frankham’s to become a party to the agreement. Non-union labour has been engaged to fill the seamen '% positions on the Hokianga.
