Tt is understood that the Returned Soldiers' and Sailors' Waterside Workj crs' Union has taken action to form a | Seamen's Union to co-operato with it j within the State. j It is said that many hundreds of seamen have already approved of the new organisation and will join immediately. The object of the ex-service men in taking this step is to ensure continued employment for both bodies. The case, brought to test the right of the members of the Returned Soldiers and Sailors' Waterside Worker!?,' Union to preference in regard to work on the wharves, was heard to-day.
