m> TROUBLE WITH CREWS GUNBAR DELAYED .. (Per Press Association.) AITCKLAND, this day. Three vessels were delayed at Auckland during the week-end owing to trouble with the crews, bat eventually two of them were able to sail. The departure of the Ulimaroa for Sydney on Friday was delayed for 3£ hoots owing to four firemen being mtefting. When they were found and taken to the wharf they refused to go aboard because they objected to sailing with one of the other stokehold hands. It was shown that this man was a financial member of the union and had joined by permission of the Sydney secretary. Eventually, on being assured that the matter would be satisfactorily settled in Sydney, they went aboard. The Tofua also was delayed by a dispute with the firemen, but eventually sailed for Fiji an hour after the sebeduled .time. Trouble regarding the crew's accom-l modation on the coastal steamer Gunbar prevented her from sailing for Gisborne and Napier on Saturday. The vessel is j to remain here until the trouble is settled. '
