AUSTRALIAN SEAMEN. ANOTHER INCREASE DEMANDED. (By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright.) (Australian and N.Z. Cable Association). SYDNEY, May 13. The Seamen’s Union is demanding from the inter-Stato shipowners’ an increase of £2 monthly in wages. AFFAIRS IN NEW ZEALAND. THE SHEARERS 1 DEMANDS. (Per United Press Association.) WELLINGTON, May 13. Hopes are entertained of a settlement being arrived at shortly in connection with the New Zealand shearers and shed hands’ dispute. The shearers are asking to be paid at the rate of 35s per 100, and the sheepowners are offering 20s. The demands of individual unions have been heard by the Council of Conciliation in various parts of the Dominion, but no agreement, so far has been reached. To-day Mr A. Cook (president of the New Zealand Workers’ Union) with which organisation the shearers are affiliated, stated that he hoped it would be possible to arrange a Dominion conference with the sheepfarmers, at which a settlement might be agreed upon.
