LABOUR CRISIS.
IN NEW SOUTH WALES. MR. J. S. GARDEN EXPELLED FROM PARTY. SYDNEY, May 19. By 19 votes to 4, Mr. J. S. Garden, M.P., was expelled from the Labour Party at a meeting of the State executive of the Australian Labour Party last night. Mr. Garden appeared before the executive to explain charges of alleged disloyalty made by him at a mgeting of the Labour Council in March last. In his defence Mr. Garden repeated many of his allegations but admitted that certain other charges he had made were capable of qualification.
The executive held that Air. Garden had failed to substantiate his charges against the president, Mr. P. J. Keller, and the organising secretary, Mr. J. B. Martin, and that the charges were disruptive and lively to impair the unity of the party. The 11 Sydney Morning Herald" says it is expected that the expulsion of Mr. Garden will precipitate one of the biggest crisis in the history of the Lang Labour movement, and according to many Labour officials, may result in the overthrow of Mr. Lang.
