Mr Lang Again In Labour Saddle
(Received 10 a.m.)
SYDNEY, This Day,
The “Sydney Morning Herald” says it was made clear at the annual Easter Conference of the State Labour Party that the leader of the Federal Opposition, Mr. J. Curtin, had allied himself with Mr. J. T. Lang.
Mr. Curtin approved the actions of the Lang faction in New South Wales throughout the recent Labour split, by declaring that the State Labour movement must be supreme within the State.
Proceedings at the conference showed that Mr. Lang is in complete control of the State Labour movement, and that the Opposition rebel union movement is hopelessly divided. There was a surprise when it was announced that among those who sought readmission to the party were Messrs. J. Garden, Heffron, Davidson and Horsington, members of the State Parliament, and a number of union officials who were expelled last year.
