TROUBLE ON TEES
QUARREL BETWEEN OFFICERS AND CREW, By TeJeprauh—P.-es, Association WELLINGTON, March 14. The refusal of the officers to re-en-gage a certain member of the crew has resulted In the steamer Tees being held up at Wellington since 3 o'clock on Monday afternoon, when she was ready to sail for the Chatham Islands There appears to be little hope of an early settlement, as the crew refuses to sail unless the man in o.Uestion is reengaged. The trouble, which is entirely in the nature of a quarrel between the officers and men, is causing considerable Inconvenience to owners and shippers, as the Tees is the only vessel maintaining a service between New Zealand and the Chatham Islands. The Seamen's Union is doing its best to smooth matters over, but so far it has met with no success. The Wellington Merchant Service Guild also has interested itself in the matter, but has no statement to make at present.
