LABOR IN AUSTRALIA

WORKERS’ UNION CONFERENCE

POLITICAL SIGNIFICANCE

Pr*a Association—By Telegraph—Copyright,

HOBART, January 23

The annual conference of the Australian Workers’ Union has commenced. It has a big political significance, as it will lay down a definite policy to resist attacks on it by the Red element. The New South Wales delegation will test the opinion of the conference on a motion which will demand that the Federal executive of the Labor Party shall endorse the decisions of the Canberra Federal Labor Conference, otherwise the Australian Workers’ Union will remain neutral at the forthcoming Federal elections, and will recommend its members not to participate in the preelection ballots while the NewSouth Wales branch of the party is controlled by the present executive.
