LABOUR'S PROGRAMME.
PROPOSES CIGARETTE VETO. (Received 8-55 a-m.)
SYDNEY, this day. The Labour conference had a new experience on Saturday. In the absence of the president Mrs. Dwyer presided over the sitting. Resolutions were carried in favour of a State sewing machine factory, a Government subsidy in connection with the scheme for higher education of workers, that copyright of all books and manuscripts published in the Commonwealth be reserved to the author without registration, and that marriage or cohabitation of whites with coloured aliens be prohibited. It was decided to send a resolution in favour of the prohibition of the manufacture, importation or sale of cigarettes throughout the Commonwealth, and also a resolution that at next election a plebiscite be taken on the question of the abolition of the importation, manufacture and distribution of alcoholic beverages to the annual conference of the Australian Labour League.
