LABOUR SECRETARY RESIGNS.
AN UNEXPECTED ACTION. (Press Association. —Copyright.) (Received 10.45 a.m.) Canberra, this day. Mr. J. L. Price, who was re-elected Secretary of the Parliamentary Labour Party at the re-allocation of portfolios, announced his resignation of that office. He states that he will vote against the Government on a noconfidence motion. Mr. Price says his action is dictated by Mr. Thedore’s reinstatement as Treasurer and Mr. Scullin’s treatment of Messrs. Lyons and Fenton. Mr. Price’s action is entirely unexpected, and the Government fears it is a prelude to an adverse vote in the House on a censure motion.
