SERIOUS INCONVENIENCE
TRANSPORT DISORGANISED Received Dec. 3, 11.5 p.m. SYDNEY, Dec. 3. Among the passenger ships listed to sail this afternoon whose departure is now indefinite, are the Wanganella for Auckland, Canberra for Melbourne and Adelaide and Alanun da for Cairns and ports. Hundreds of passengers will have to find other means of transport, involving serious inconvenience and loss of time and money. Should the dispute cover the 105 vessels engaged in the coastal trade, it is estimated that 4000 seamen, in addition to thousands of wharf labourers, stewards, tally clerks and carters will be rendered idle. The shipping companies report that at least 5000 persons had booked for pleasure cruises and coastal trips between now and January. The Taiping, sailing to-day, received a permit to carry passengers to Melbourne. The Niagara has been moved from her ordinary berth to Cockatoo- dock with her cargo still aboard.
