KAIAPOI DELAYED
CREW OBJECT TO NEW MAN
(By Telegraph.—Press Association.)
AUCKLAND, 22rid December,
After being delayed at Auckland for twenty-one hours owing tc crew trouble, the Kaiapoi sailed for Greymouth on Saturday afternoon. The dispute was over a man who was signed on the vessel on Friday evening to replace a stoker who was missing at sailing time.
The crew of tho vessel refused to sail with a substitute on board because he had recently sued the Seamen's Union for preventing him obtaining employment on other coastal vessels on which members of the Seamen's Union were carried. The man won his case, and it was understood at the time that he would have no further difficulty ia obtaining employment as far as the Seamen's Union was concerned. Owing to the Kaiapoi 's crew continuing their objection to sail with the man, he was eventually signed off on Saturday morning, and another man was engaged in his place. Afterwards the Kaiapoi took her departure.
