NOT ENOUGH CIGARETTES
CREW REFUSES TO SAIL TROUBLE LATER SETTLED (P.A.) AUCKLAND, Dec. 21. The dissatisfaction of the crew of a Canadian wheat ship, with the cigarette supply on board, led to their refusal to sail from Auckland for Lyttelton this morning, and, although further trouble was avoided, the vessel will now not leave until to-morrow morning. The ship, the Park line steamer Sunnyside Park, arrived from Vancouver on December 14 and was to have sailed for Lyttelton this morning to complete discharge. The members of the crew, however, refused to work until they were issued with extra cigarettes. Negotiations followed with the local agents of the Union Company and the matter was settled, the men agreeing to sail to-morrow morning.
