UNFOUNDED CHARGES.
MeGIRR AND HIS COLLEAGUES. SYDNEY, this day. ' Denials are given to the earlier reports that the Labour Conference Committee's findings favoured Mr. J. M. M. McGirr. It is now stated that his charges were not substantiated, and that four Ministers voted against continuance of the basic wage, atao that the caucus voted against it. Other charges made by Mr. McGirr also were not proven. The report states that the committee exhaustively inquired into the allegation that Mr. John Storey was inclined to form a coalition with the Nationalists, and unhesitatingly declares that there is not the slightest justification for the charge, which is a grave slander on a man universally respected. The committee added that the dispute occurred during a time of great stress, when Mr. McGirr probably thought his colleagues were not acting rightly. The committee recommended that strong measures should be taken to avoid similar disputes in future.— (A. and N.Z. Cable.)
