Australian and N.Z, Cable Association.

BRISBANE, December 7. Speaking at Babunda, Premier Theodore strongly urged the Australian workers and other Unions to enforce discipline against revolutionaries and direct action, otherwise it would become impossible for the Labour Gov-? eminent to carry on. It would be replaced by a Denham or other Government. These men who had blown from America and the Southern States were bringing discredit on the whole Labour movement.
