COOKS’ DISPUTE
QUESTION OF CONTROL
COUNCIL ON ITS TRIAL. VITAL CONFERENCE TODAY, (Australian Press Association.) (Receive! S.2S a.m.) MELBOURNE, This Day. Whoa the conference of the Australia and New Zealand Council of Trades Unions and Maritime Unions meets today, certain union officials will demand that the council either definitely remains in charge of the cooks’ dispute, with or without Mr j. Tudehope’s authority, or retire from the dispute altogether. It is now recognised that the Australia and New Zealand Council of Trades Unions is on its trial and if it fails to insist upon its authority to conduct the dispute it will have been dealt a blow from which it will be unable to recover.

OWNERS KEEP CLOSE WATCH
(Australian Press Association.) (Received 1 p.m.) SYDNEY, This Day
The shipowners are watching closely the trend of events in the cooks’ strike, and if the strike extends im.mediate steps will be taken to organise “means whereby essential services can be maintained, with protection from Federal Government and civil and military forces. Fear was expressed overnight that the Aorangi, due today, which is on Australian articles, will become involved, but the owners have given an assurance that no such action is intended by them.
The chief cook of the idle Karoola states that the rank and file of the Cooks' Union have already rejected the roster system, a ballot having been held. The men are now objecting to tUfeir own Mussolini-like executive.
