THE SHIPPING TROUBLE.
ULIMAROA HELD UP. By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright Australian and N.Z. Cable Association. SYDNEY. December 2. The shipping trouble, which has hitherto been confined to the Union Company, entered a new phase to day so far a« New Zealand is concerned. The Huddart-Parker Company’s Ulimaroa. which was scheduled to leave at noon, is held up. It is stated that the trouble arose through the discharge of six seamen at the instigation of the engineers, who regarded the men as unsuit able. The Seamen’s Union declined to allow other men to fill the vacancies. Conferences between representatives or the owners, enginoers and seamen have proved abortive so far. Among the large number of passen gers by the Ulimaroa were MacLaren’s cricket team.
PASSENGERS LEAVE SHIP. SYDNEY, December 3. The Ulimaroa’s passengers have left the ship. The intervention of Sunday prevented giving the ‘crew the necessary twenty-four hours’ notice, which it is understood was the company’s intention. Developments are expected tomorrow. The rteamer had everything in readiness t-. depart for sea when the tie-up occurred.
