Sydney, April 14. The strike has now been finally settled. The Seamens' Union has agreed to coastal shipowners having a month to arrange all non-unionists among their crews being brought into six steamers. Meantime the unionists and non-unionists will work together in the vessels. Trouble also cropped up in Newcastle, where 33 out of 38 non-union-ists employed by the Newcastle-Hun-ter River Company struck on the ground that under the new agreement they were paid casual rates instead of weekly wages. Eleven returned to work, and the places of the others were filled by unionists.
