MARINE ENGINEERS.
CONFERENCE WITH OWNERS. Prm Association —Eltctnc Telegraph. — Copyright. [Received September 4, 8 p.m.] Sydney. September 4. The Australasian Society of Marine Engineers is holding a conference with representatives from the Steamship Owners on matters appertaining to marine engineering. The questions discussed include the adoption of the eight-hours principle, more improved sleeping accommodation for engineers, the number of engineers carried on steamers to be regulated by the nominal horse-power of the ship, and the minimum of wages to be fixed as. follows : —Chief engineer. £25 per month ; second, £18 , third, £14; fourth, £12. It is also proposed that engineers shall report direct to the employers, and have equal powers with captains in that respect, and that no report from the latter affecting engineers shall be adopted unless those interested be allowed the right to reply. The Conference, which is in no way connected with the present Maritime Council, is thoroughly representative, and delegates from all colonies are present.
