NO SETTLEMENT
AUCKLAND FISHING DISPUTE.
(Per United Press Association.)
Auckland, July 19.
As no settlement was reached fo-day in the dispute between Sanford, Ltd., and the crews of the trawlers, James Cosgrove and Serfib, the employers decided to send the Serfib to sea with non-union labour. The vessel left Auckland shortly after five o’clock to-night. The general manager of Sanford, Ltd., made arrangements on Thursday evening to send the trawler James Cosgrove to sea with non-union labour, but this was abandoned at the request of the Conciliation Commissioner, Mr P. Hally, who offered to hold a conference with tho men. He met representatives of the union this morning, but they persisted in their demand for 36 hours’ shore leave every week instead of 24 hours, with 36 hours every fourth week as at present. They rejected an offer from the employers of 24 and 36 hours on alternate weeks.
Mr Hally then met representatives of the employers and it was after this conference that the company decided to send the Serfib to sea manned by non-unionists. Mr Hally has arranged a further conference between the two parties to be held to-morrow morning. <
