BARRED FROM AUSTRALIAN POSTAL FACILITIES. (By Telegraph-Press Assn.-Copyright.) (Received This Day, 9.30 a.m.) MELBOURNE, Thursday. The Federal Government has moved to bar Communist literature from postal transmission. Mr Fenton, the Postmaster-General, is advised by the Attorney-General that the “Workers’ Weekly” the “Red Leader,” “The Working Woman,” “The Pan-Pacific Worker,” “The Young Worker,” and “The Soviets To-day” were issued in the interests of an unlawful association. These papers should be refused transmission th’/mgh the post as the bodies with which the papers were associated were all more or less actively engaged inadvocating the overthrow of the Government by violent or other unlawful means.
