Labour Government Faces Criticism of Party.
NO-CONFIDENCE MOTION MOVED AT QUEENSLAND CONVENTION. (United Press Association.—By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.) (Received May 18, 11.35 a.m.) BRISBANE, May 18. AMOTION of no-coniidence in jthe M’Cormack Labour Government for the manner in which it scotched the railway slrike during the South Johnstone sugar mill trouble was defeated at the State Labour Convention at Townsville by 50 votes to 32. The Premier, Mr M’Cormack, in defending the Government attitude during that disturbance, said it was clear that there were men in the Laubour movement 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 Labour supporters 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, and they should take stock of the situation and put their house in order.—Australian Press Association.
