SHIPPING UPHEAVAL.
COOKS MAY RESUME.
BUT POSITION STILL CRITICAL,
20 STEAMERS LAID UP,
(By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright.) (Australian Press Association.) SYDNEY, May 27.
Twenty ships are now laid up at the various ports in Australia awaiting cooks. The Union Company does not expect that any difficulty will arise in regard to the sailing of the Aorangi on Thursday. Some hope has arisen that the cooks’ strike may be settled on Monday or Tuesday, but -the position is critical. In the absence of an agreement the last coastal passenger ship, the Ormiston, will be tie«i»up at Melbourne. It is stated that there is now a chance of the cooks resuming work on the shipowners’ terms.
