THE SEAMEN'S DISPUTE.
A DELICATE POSITION. [by TELEGRAPH. —OWN COMIESrONDEN'T.] Wellington, Friday. Tin: negotiations between the shipowners and the seamen by delegates from both sides, are at present in a somewhat delicate position. It is understood that the point of difference between the two sets of representatives is the preference clause on which the union insists. The union has cancelled registration, and it is understood that the men will strike if they are dissatisfied with the results of the conference, and a strike of seamen means a calamity which everybody must suffer by, if it lasts even for a week or two. The sailors would, it is stated, be followed instantly by the waterside workers, by the miners, and possibly by all other transport workers.
