LABOUR CONGRESS.
REDUCING THE,SOCIALIST ELEMENT, (Australian and N.Z. Cable Association.) LONDON, January 29. At the Labour Conference a committee was appointed to investigate charges against Mr Henderson regarding the Clyde deportations. -Mr Henderson said Mr Lloyd George had not replied to the Conference's telegram. A resolution was carried by 1,123,000 against 1,107,000 providing for the elec-' tion of sixteen representatives on the National Executive of affiliated organisations, restricted to the nomination of one' candidate unless the membership exceeds 50,000. The change strikes a blow at pacifist independent Labourites. It also reduces the Socialist representation. These sections will possibly withdraw'.
