DISCIPLINING THE PARTY.
LABOR AND WOMEN'S FRANCHISE. \
(Received Jan. 31,10.40 a.m.) LONDON, Jan. 30. ' The Labor "Conference at Lambeth adopted a rule enforcing , discipline ■within the p^rty in the House of Commons. Mr Thorne said that the 13 Socialists would never agree with the 27 trade unionists /on economic questions.
. The Parliamentary party was instructed, by BSO votes to 437, to oppose any Franchise Bill which excludes women. Mr Snow-den- -said that Labor should demand a Government measure. The women's position was infinitely worse than a year ago. A divided 'Cabinet must, not obstruct the expressed; will <of the majority of fhe House. The Laborite newspaper, the Daily Herald, describes fhe conference at -Lambeth as a greater farce than usual, as delegates went there to register decrees of the inner caucus.
