A.W.W. AND POLITICS.
REPLY TO Mil. CATTS' ATTACK. SYDNEY, July 7. Mr. John Bailey, a member of the Legislative Assembly, and president of the central branch of the Australian Workers' Union, categorically denies the accusations made by Mr. J. H. Catts in the House of Representatives. He adds that the books of the union are audited annually by the best auditors in Sydney. Never a penny of union or Labour party funds is spent, except in accordance with the rulee of the constitution. Other labour officials describe the attack as emanating from a "coward's castle," and say it would not be made outside of Parliament. — (A. and N.Z.) SYDNEY, this day. The executive of the Australian Labour party has appointed a committee to prepare a reply to each of Mr. J. H. Catts' charges. Several people cited by Mr. Catts, as informants in connection with the charges, emphatically deny the statements attributed to them.— (A. and N.Z. Cable.)
