TOBACCO DISPUTE SPREADS
Auckland, Dec. 22. Negotiations between the crew and the local agents of the Canadian ship Sunnyside Park in connection with the dispute which began yesterday morning over the cigarette ration aboard broke down in the afternoon and the men again refused to sail, the vessel being still at the King’s Wharf to-day with its dispatch still uncertain. The vessel was to have sailed for Lyttelton yesterday. The crew, however, refused to sail, alleging the issue of cigarettes, 200 every 10 days for each man, to be insufficient. The trouble spread to two other Park Line vessels, the Mount Douglas Park and the Mount Robson Park, which are discharging wheat. On all three ships this morning only the essential work was done, and the sailing dates are uncertain.
