SHIPPING STRIKE
WATERSIDERS CEASE WORK VOLUNTEERS RESPOND SYDNEY, July 21. The most important development in thc shipping strike has been the refusal by the watersiders to load thc coastal vessels manned by volunteer labour. On all these vessels the cooks and stewards have also left their employment, but the management is able to fill thc vacancies. A call was made for volunteer wharf labourers, and sufficient have already been engaged to cope with thc handling of tho ships in port. With the exception of one or two steamers, all the coastal fleet are able to keep running. STEAMER CAST ADRIFT MELBOURNE, July 21. During thc night the volunteer crew of the Amaroa was awakened by voices on the wharf. It was found that the moorings of the vessel had been slipped, and she was drifting into midstrehm. The crew succeeded in getting the linos to thc wharf again and making her fast.
