SHIPPING DISPUTE.
Per Press Association. AUCKLAND, Sept. 16. Owing to a dispute between the Seamen’s Union and the owners of the steamer Hinemoa, regarding the number of firemen to be carried and the rates of pay for seamen, the departure of the vessel, which was to have sailed for Westport and Bluff at 4 p.m. to-day. has been indefinitely postponed. The men are asking for a crew of six firemen and wages of £1 a day for seamen. The owners contend that the Shipping and Seamen’s Act provides for three firemen, and that 25 per cent, on ordinary wages for seamen is to be paid.
