M'GIRR'S CHARGES
HELD NOT PROVED
GRAVE SLANDER ON EX-PEEMIER.
(Received June 19, 1 p.m.)
SYDNEY, This Day.
Denials are given to the earlier reports that the Labour Conference Committee's findings favoured Mr. M'Girr's charges. It is""no\v "stated "that the charges were not substantiated, that four of the ex-Ministers voted against the continuance of the basic wage, and that the caucus voted against, it. Other chax'ges made by Mr. .M'Girr were also found not proved. The report adds that "the committee exhaustively inquired into the allegation that Mr. otorey (exPremier) was inclined to form a coalition with the Nationalists, and unhestatingly 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. M'Girr probably thought his' colleagues were not acting rightly, and recommended that strong measures should be taken to avoid similar disputes in future.
