SEAMEN'S DISPUTE.
A SERIOUS DEVELOPMENT.
BITTER FIGHT EXPECTED.
(Received January 7, 12.15 a.m.) A. and N.Z. SYDNEY, Jan, 6. A serious development has occurred in the seamen's dispute. Eight seamen of the inter-State liner Ormiston, which arrived at Sydney from Melbourne to-day, gave notice, and as efforts to obtain men to fill their places proved abortive the owners have given the remainder of the crew notice and indefinitely postponed the sailing of the vessel. It is anticipated that the steamer Canberra, which is several firemen short in its complement, will be similarly affected. At a meeting of the Seamen's Union it was decided to resist any attempt of the owners to deprivd the men of time off to attend stop-work meetings. The dispute may now develop into a fight to the finish between the men and the owners.
