At a meeting of the disputes committee it was shown thai Lhci Maroro was actually registered in New Zealand, and th:# the present time she is trading along the New Zealand coast. The watersiders. therefore;, were convinced that there was 'no necessity to take any action, and this morning when the usual call for labor was mado they came forward ami worked with the crew of the vessel.
