LABOUR SPLIT

HEW SOUTH WALES PARTY MR J. T. LANG ATTACKED Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright SYDNEY, February 25. The ‘ Labour Daily,’ which until last week was the weapon that Mr J T. Lang used for flaying the party and his political opponents, has suddenly become his deadliest enemy in the hands of the industrial group. Its leading columns to-day give broad hints'to'the electors as td what should be done with the Leader of the Opposition at the forthcoming election on March 26. “ Labour is now presented with its great opportunity. No longer will Mr Lang be an obstacle to the return of the Labour Government. That bugbear of politicians is now to all intents and purposes just an ordinary candidate at the polls, and the electors of Auburn (Mr Lang’s con j stituency) will see to it that he is relegated to a place where he can create no further mischief to the party. No longer should we have the cry ‘ Lang is too big a load to carry.’ ” The Sydney Labour Council has adopted the ‘ Labour Daily ’ as its official organ.
