WHARFMEN'S STRIKE.
SHIPPING MUCH HARASSED.
Presi Association—Electric Telecraph—Copyright. (Received Wednesday, at 9.5 a.m.) SYDNEY, Wednesday. The wharf men's strike against working overtime continues. Shipping is much harassed. An official statement published by the Steamship Owners' Association complains that the men acted without any warning against an assurance given to tho companies that the stevedores' work would proceed without interruption, and points out the serious inconvenience caused to shipowners, including the Union Company, who had to send the Maheuo to Newcastle on Friday night with 250 tons of undischarged cargo aboard. The whole of the IT.S.S. Company's Sydney wharf is greatly congested, and altogether a thousand tons of outward cargo is shut out of the Company's steamers. (Received Wednesday, at 9.50 a.m.) SYDNEY, Wednesday. The Wallaroo strike position remains unchanged, and vessels are not being worked. A large quantity of wheat is awaiting loading.
