AUSTRALIAN LABOUR.
REVOLUTIONARY TREND. MODERATES CALL HALT. A. and N.Z. MELBOURNE. July 28. Mr. Blakeley, president of the Australian Workers' Union, replying to criticism of the policv of the All-Aus-tralia Trades Union Congress, made by Tasmanian .Labour M.P.'s at Hobart, said that the preamble of the resolutions adooted at the Congress- did not go beyond the objective set forth in the present Labour Party pledge. Mr. Ogden, one of the Tasmanian crijtics, commenting on the reply, states that the preamble provides both for revolution and confiscation. The Labour Party never stood for either, and he hoped never would. The ( Council o* Action should' not abrogate powers which should be possessed only by the sovereign Parliament. It would be farewell to Freedom if it became a dictator in Australia.
