LATER.
OWNERS WATCHFUL. WILL MAINTAIN SERVICES. FEELING IN COOKS’ UNION. EXECUTIVE TACTICS RESENTED. (By Telegraph.—Press Assn—Copyright.) (Australian Press Association;. (Received May 24, 10.45 a.iu.) SYDNEY, May 24. The shipowners are watching closely the trend of events in the cooks’ strike, and if the strike extends immediate steps will be taken to organise means by which the essential services can be maintained, with protection from the Federal Government's civil and military forces. A fear was expressed overnight that the Aorangi, which is due to-day, and which is on Australian articles, will become involved, but the owners have given an assurance that no such action is intended by them. The chief cook of the idle Ivaroola states that the rank and file of the Cooks’ Union have already rejected the roster system, a ballot having been held, and the men are now objecting to the Mussolini-like actions of its own executive.
