COMMUNISTS DEFEATED
i DELEGATION FOR WATERSIDE CONFERENCE (Rec. 12.10 p.m.) SYDNEY, April 16. Communist candidates were decisively defeated in a ballot for the election of 12 New South Wales delegates to the biennial conference of the Waterside Workers' Federation. Both Communist and Australian Labour Party candidates were run on the ticket system, and much bitterness was displayed in the campaign. Nine Labour Party supporters were returned. At present a majority of the Sydney branch officials are supporters of the Communist Party, but opposition Labour men regard the result of the ballot as a good augury for the general election of officers to the Sydney branch.
