THE COASTAL DISPUTE. NEW UNION REGISTERED. (Pros* .. -jelatlon—By Telegraph—Copyright.) SYDNEY, April 8. The new Seamen’s Union, known as the New South Wales Coastal Seamen and Firemen’s Union, has been registered. The attitude of the coastal steamship owners towards the members of the Federated Seamen’s Union has been that, while they are members of the union which governs or controls both inter c tate and coastal steamers, the seamen on the coast of New South Wales are not iheir own masters' so far as the union is concerned, for the reason that in matters affecting purely their own State they are outvoted by those employed in the interstate trade Th" Steamship Owners’ Association has informed the union that so long as that body remains as at present constituted and under its present leaders, it does not propose to re-engage union men.
