JOB CONTROL
STEAMERS HELD UP TROUBLE WITH FIREMEN PROSECUTIONS PROBABLE SYDNEY, September 7. hi connection with inter-State shipping as a. result of action on the part of the seamen, which the owners regard as an attempt to re-introduce "job control" lately, several .steamers have been held up in Sydney, Melbourne and elsewhere through the firemen absenting themselves from duty and othar similar causes.
To-day the crew of the Howard Smith steamer Bombala were paid off owing to trouble with the firemen. The sailing of the Kawatiri for Fiji was considerably delayed, and the Holyman liner Marawah is tied up at Melbourne.
The owners claim that these delays are breaches of the agreement between the Commonwealth Steamship Owners' Association and the Seamen's Union signed in August, 1925. They are considering possible action in the matter.
