TREACHERY ALONE WILL DEFEAT LABOUR, DECLARES MR LANG.
(Received February 15. 11.35 am.) SYDNEY. February 15.
In the Upper House the abolition contest may be brought, to an early crisis as a result of Mr Oakes s notice of motion. There was a feeling in political circles last week that the Premier might change his tactics and leave the Bill till later in the year. During the week Mr Lang reiterated that he had not departed from his original plan of bringing down the Abolition Bill at the end of the present session. He as serted that democracy as represented by the great Labour Movement would triumph. He said that there was only one thing that could defeat democracy and the Labour Movement in the present crisis, and that was treachery. He added that when the vote was taken the Labour roll of honour would be shown.
The State Governor has not yet been approached officially bv the Premiei or anv member of the Ministry concerning the proposal to make additional appointments to the Legislative Council.
