“HAS TO STOP."
HOLD-UPS OVER SMALL DISPUTES.
STEWARDS’ SECRETARY’S STRAIGHT TALK.
MELBOURNE, Nov. 26.
The holding* up of ships over small disputes is condemned in a report issued to- members of the Marine Stewards' Union by the general secretary, Mr Moate, who says: “This business of one" union sticking up ships over small disputes that can be settled by the application of a little horsesensc has to stop. The Seamen’s Union is the greatest offender. It seems to have lost all consideration for the interests of the other unions. The Union’s policy of ‘on the wharf over every two penny half-penny row’ is a suicidal one. If the Seamen’s Union wants to kill that spirit of com- . radeship so essential in , the industrial world of workers it is going the right way to do it." Thirty-six members of the crew of the' steamer Northumberland were released from gaol, as they promised to return to their ship, which later sailed, (Received November 27, 11 a.m.) SYDNEY, Nov. 27. The settlement of the shipping strike probably will be effected to-day. Nego- • tiations* between the men and owners have been practically completed, and a basis of settlement reached. Tlie men meet to-day, when it- is expected that they will endorse the pro-' posed terms. _____
