MR. R. SEMPLE'S SUPPORT.

SYDNEY, this dav.

A split is threatened in the ranks of Mr. Mutch's followers over the proposals put forward by the Federal Executive of the Australian Labour party in an attempt to bring the rival factions in New South Wales together.

The influential section of the Mutch party is said to favour the holding of a unity conference on July 9, while the other side opposes the conference.

Mr. Mutch received a letter from Mr. R. Semple, of the New Zealand Labour party, congratulating him on attaining leadership. Mr. Semple added: "Lang and the arch-traitor Willis are willing tools of those who want to smash the Labour movement."
