(Received January 26, 11.25 a.m.)
Sydney, January 26. Messrs. Fisher (Federal Prime Minister) McGowcn (Premier of New South Wales), and Verran (Premier of South Australia) were present at the opening of the Political Labour League Conference to-day, and delivered congratulatory' speeches on the progress of the labour movement. Mr. Verran declared that he and other. Labour Premiers would not allow themselves to suffer from a big head, but would work together calmly for the benefit of the whole of the workers of Australia. After some opposition the conference decided to admit the press.
The congress negatived a resolution that for the present objective there be substituted, " the development of a higher individuality and a clearer approximation to economic justice by the socialisation of industry, and wider diffusion of education," also an amendment favouring securing to workers the full result of their skill and industry by the collective ownership of the means of production, distribution, and exchange.
A committee was appointed to confer with the Premier and Attorney-General on the question of ensuring nominees in the Legislature.
