SHIPPING DELAYS
SETTLEMENT OF DISPUTES MEN WANT QUICK CONCILIATION JOB CONTROL DISCLAIMED By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright MELBOURNE, January 27. Lively' proceedings marked the monthly stop-work meeting of the Victorian branch of the Seamen’s Union. The shipowners’ letter was considered, and after long discussion it was resolved that the comm’ttee of management, as representing the union, should approach the shipowners and again put forward a suggestion that conciliation committees should he appointed at every port to deal with and reach a final understanding respecting each dispute as it arose. The general secretary, Mr Raeburn, said that it was impossible for a committee sitting in Melbourne, perhaps 1500 miles away from the scene of the dispute, to interpret the cause properly. The meeting agreed to inform owners that it disclaimed the practice of any job control. A statement that an example should be made of those men who delayed, ships through ■ being drunk was greeted with loud cheers.
