LANG ACCUSED.
“A Corrupt Thing is Being Enacted.” CHARGE BY PREMIER OF N.S.W. United Press Assn.—Bv Electric Telegraph—Copyright. (Received November 2, 1.35 p.m.) SYDNEY, This Day. After a brisk debate, the special companies legislation was passed by the Lower House early this morning. The Premier, Mr Stevens, charged Air Lang with having conferred with Labour members in the Upper House to prevent the passage of the Bill through that House. “ The Legislative Council members concerned are Messrs Martin and Culbert,” said Mr Stevens. “ They have been conferring with Mr Lang with a
view to the suspension of the Standing Orders in that House so that the Bill cannot pass through* to-night. A corrupt thing is being enacted.” The Premier also stated that it was obvious that the opposition to the legislation had been inspired by the * very men whose nefarious practices the Bill sought to stop.” The Bill was transferred to the Legislative Council, which, however, adjourned without dealing with it. The second reading is set down for Tuesday next.
