CATHARINES (CP) -- A jspokesman for Island Shipping |Limited said today 12 unarmed |private policemen have been hired to guard the freighters Wheat King, Northern Venture and Hilda Marjanne. The three ships are manned by crews of the Canadian Mari- time .Union (CLC). Last year the Wheat King and Northern Venture were involved in inci- dents. as a result of a. represen- tation dispute between the CMU and the Seafarers' International Union (Ind.). The CMU is attempting to re- place the SIU, which has con- tracts with many Great Lakes shippers. At present it has ta- ken over onlv the three vessels to be guarded. The Island Shipping spokes- man said 10 of the private po- lice, hired through a Montreal agency, have arrived at Port Weller for duty with the North- ern Venture. He said they vould said they still held the island, 30 miles off West New Guinea. The Dutch command in Hol- landia, West New Guinea, re- ported last week that a band of Indonesians landed on Waigeo and said they were being mopped up. The Dutch claimed some of the ilfiltrators had sur- rendered. An Indonesian army spokes- man modified the Jakarta ra- dio report. Col.

The company spokesman said they are equipped with two-way radios and walkie - talkies and are wearing Sam Browne belts.
