LABOR TYRANNY.

AUSTRALIA AND IMMIGRATION.

A NOVELIST'S VIOLENT ATTACK.

[PBESS ASBOOIATIOK.] (Received November 6, 4.45 p.m.)

LONDON, November 4.

Mr Hume Nisbet, the novelist, -in the Daily Graphic, violently . attacked the Labor Union tyranny in Australia, declaring that no Home immigrant could receive the slightest show of justice or friendliness at their hands.

Mr Coghlan (Agent-General for New South Wales) has replied that Mr Nisbet was drunk with rage, since the Trades Union members numbered only 160,000 out of 1,100,000 male adults, and how they contrived to fiendishly tyrannise was a mystery.

Replying to the Financier's Melbourne correspondent's comments Mr Coghlan declares that Australia's population has increased By 91,592 during the last two years.
