AORANGI “BLACK”
MOVE ON SYDNEY WATERFRONT. UNLOADING WORK BEING DONE. By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright. Sydney, July 13. Whether the crew of the Aorangi, who are members of the Australian Seamen’s Union, will be withdrawn from the vessel in sympathy with the Vancouver strikers will be decided at a special meeting of the union on Tuesday.
Some seamen said that militant members of the crew had made arrangements with the unemployed members of the union to endeavour to compel the Aorangi's crew to tie up the vessel and would submit a motion along those lines at Tuesday’s meeting. It is. believed, however, that such a move will be vigorously opposed by the moderate section, who are expected to be in a majority. Wharf labourers continue to unload the Aorangi. This is regarded as another rebuff to the Communists, who had placarded the waterfront with stickers declaring the Aorangi black.
