LABOUR IN POLITICS.

ENTHUSIASM ON THE WANE.'

RESULT of ENVIRONMENT.

CAUSTIC CRITICISMS.

Times-Sydney Sun Special Cable. London, January 28- ; In the course of a discussion yesterday at the conference of the Labour Party in Glasgow, delegates stated that during the association of Labour with Liberalism the sacrifices had been all on the Labour side. It was absurd to assume that Mr. Lloyd George (Chancellor of the Exchequer) was going to do everything. They should know, what his proposals were, because they had been-"sold" so many times by inferior Bills. The members of the Parliamentary Party used to be enthusiastic on the orange box at street corners. Now their environment had toned them down; they had lost their enthusiasm, and were giving too much attention to aping dukes. The conference adopted a scheme for the establishment of a Scottish advisory council. It was decided that the next conference should meet at Bristol in 1915, THE SECOND CHAMBER. ABOLITION DISCUSSED. By Telesrrsph—Press Association—Copyright. Sydney, January 29. , When tho Labour Conference resumed its sittings to-day, a discussion book place on the abolition of the Upper House.
