Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright. Australian and N.Z. Press Association.
September 50. At tho annual Eight-hour Day banquet Labor leaders stressed the apathy of trade unionists in matters vitally concerning themselves and their disinclination to make sacrifices for the cause.
Mr hi. Charlton (Federal leader) urged the need for solidarity, and said that the events which had occurred since last election showed that when in the near future they went to the polls the result would bo that the Federal Labor Party would rule th© country. Ho declared that there was danger in Mr Brtice’s mission to the Imperial Conference. Ho believed that tho danger zone would bo reached when Mr Bruce attached his signature to any document committing Australia to any share in Imperial defence. Australia did not want to participate in international quarrels, and desired to work only for tho world’s peace.
