GLASGOW. July 2O.-Sir Thomas Upton
has refused the demands of fifteen of the
sailors of Shamrock l. engaged by him to
sail Shamrock III in American waters, for a
bonus of Els, instead of the offered bonus
OF IS. and is hiring fresh hands. 1t appears
the difference between Sir Thomas and his
sailors arises from the fact the men en-
ployed Shamrock III are the best sailors
procurable and are paid e. week The
sailors on Shamrock l paid only the
usual wages of thirty shillngs. With the
prOffered bonus their whole wages would
not be equal to that of the men employed on
Shamrock II. and if the crew of Shamrock
l are required TO help the latter they con-
tend they should receive equal remunera-
ton. Ii is not anticipated that Sir Thomas
will have any difficulty in filling the places
of the men who declined TO accept the
honls
