UNWELCOME PERSONS BARRED.

ABOLITION OF UPPER HOUSE. (By Cable.—Preae Association.—Copyiighi.l SYDNEY, January 28. At the resumption of the Labour Conference, a stir was created by the fact that others than delegates and members of the Federal and Sfate parties were present, and that despite the exclusion of the Press, this morning's papers contained substantial reports of the proceedings. The President (Mr A. W. N. Spen.ce) repeated his instructions to the doorkeeper, and asked that gentlemen who secured admittance through his temporary neglect should leave. Mr. Robert Patten, Liberal • Federal member for Hume, and Mr T. Campboll then left the hall. After this every newcomer was closely questioned as to his bona fides as a friend of Labour. In discussing tho 'question of the abolition of tho Upper House, Mr Lamond commented • severely on % the rumours that the Holman Government had decided on' the personnel of a batch of appointments to the Upper House. It was a matter in which the Conference had every right to assert its authority. Eighteen appointments were necessary to swamp the Upper House and secure a certain majority for the Bill.to bring about its abolition. A committee was appointed to enquire into the claims of the various sections of tho movement. The president mentioned the condition of New Zealand unionists, and said that the Dominion courts were a factor in favour of wealth, in contradistinction to the gains obtained by employees through the medium of ihe Commonwealth Conciliation and Arbitration' Court. Although the purchasing power of the sovereign had decreased, the experience of Australian arbitration showed a gain over and above the value of tho decrease. The time was at hand when Labour would have no chance unless it took control of the government, the military, and the police.
