AUSTRALIAN SHIPPING.
FRESH TROUBLE LIKELY. COASTAL VESSELS " BLACK." ACTION OF WATERSIDERS. By Telegraph.—Press Association.—Copyright. A. and N.Z. SYDNEY. Deo. 7. A dislocation of coastal shipping is threatened. The Waterside Workers' Federation has decided to declare "black" those coastal ships the crews of which perform labouring work along the coast. This decision will not affect all the coastal shipping companies, as a number of them engage federation men. The action has been endorsed by the committee of management of the federation. Consequently 'it will apply to coastal ships in all the ports of the Commonwealth. The step is regarded as being in retal.ation against the hostile action of the seamen during the recent strike of British seamen. On many occasions the wharf labourers threatened to boycott the coastal ships if the seamen did not desist from criticising them for not downing tools unconditionally to assist the strikers. DEPORTATION ACT. VALIDITY QUESTIONED. HIGH COURT ARGUMENT. Australian and N.Z. Cable Association. CRecd. 22.25 a.m.) SYDNEY, Dec. 7. Legal argument in the High Court on the validity of the Deportation Act continues. Little interest is being taken in the proceedings.
