COLLAPSED STRIKE
AUSTRALIAN SEAMEN SHIPOWNERS' ATTITUDE GOOD EMPLOYEES MISLED By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright (Rsceived February 23. 5.5 p.m.) MELBOURNE, Feb. 23 A leading shipping official, commenting on the seamen's decision to return to work, said: "The men were misled. Many of them have been good and faithful servants of our companies and we shall be glad to have them back when vacancies occur." A message from Brisbane states that local unionists are disgusted at the manner in which the dispute was handled in the southern States, claiming that they have been badly let down. The men unanimously voted no confidence in the new general secretary, Mr. .Tames Keenan, and decided that in future the Brisbane executive should function independently of the other branches. There was a rush for licences, 391 of which have been issued since the regulations became operative. The Port Adelaide seamen, at a noisy meeting, declared the shipping strike off, and offered themselves for work under the licensing system to-day.
