QUEENSLAND STRIKE ECHO
NO-CONFIDENCE MOTION LOST. By -Telegraph—Press Assn. —Copyright. Australian Press Association. Brisbane, May 18. A motion of no-confidence in the McCormack Labour Government for the manner in which it scotched the railway strike during the South Johnstone sugar mill trouble was defeated at the State Labour convention at Townsville by 50 votes to 32. The Premier, defending the Government’s attitude during that disturbance, said it was clear that there were men in the Labour movement who were desirous of destroying the Government for one alleged mistake. He was prepared to stand or fall by the Government’s action on that occasion but, if the Labourites wanted to go the way of the New South Wales Labour Party, into the wilderness for ten or fifteen years, well and good. They were at the parting of the ways. They should take stock of the situation and put their house in order.
