ME HUGHES SPEAKS STRAIGHT. Australian and N.Z. Cable Association. LONDON, Jnly 6. Mr Hughes entertained trades union leaders at dinner at the Savoy Hotel, those present including Messrs- Appleton, Havelock Wilson, and Seddon. Mr Hughes warmly denounced those who torpedoed the Labour Party in Australia—those who advocated direct action and rule of force such as the Allies have been fighting the last five years. Mr Hughes declared, “We must proceed on constitutional lines. There must be no class war, no going slow, but we must produce more, and do maximum work.” All the speakers, including Sir J. Cook, and Senator Pearce, advocated sane -unionism. Senator Pearce indicated that the coalition would continue through the period of reconstruction.
