The Press were excluded from the Federal Labour Conference. An oflicial statement indicated that the President, Mr. Kenneally, opening the proceedings, declared that New South Wales State Party's revolt threatened the existence of the Labour Party throughout Australia. He forecasted that a new party would be the outcome in this State. Mr. Scullin attacked the State A.L.P. for its attitude toward Mr. Theodore, whom he warmly defended. All the delegates condemned the Lang plan. Mr. Graves, the State President, subsequently stated that he was unperturbed at the conference's expulsion motion. "We take our instructions from the rank and file of the Labour movement. Every A.L.P. branch and union has endorsed the Lang plan." Other members o£ the Stale Kxocuti.vc ridiculed the Federal Conference's pretensions. They said the members of it were actually political defendants Avho were now assembled to pass judgment upon themselves. The Federal Party's only course is now to set up a new organisation in New South Wales, which will bo costly and difficult in face of the hosl.ilify ol: the majority of unions.
