NEW GUINEA
CHARGE AGAINST LABOUR PARTY.
(Australian Press Association).
(Received this day at 10 a.m.) SYDNEY, March 17
An investigation of charges by S. Williams concerning mining ordinances in New Guinea, is being fostered by the Australian Labour Party. Williams alleges that by the actions of Beasley and Theodore, the miners on the goldfields have been dispossessed in favour of a large company. The charges were refuted by Ministers, whose explanations were accepted by the party executive, and Williams’ endorsement for a State parliamentary seat was ordered to be cancelled.
Williams has since written to the Executive offering to substantiate his allegations, so .the matter will probably be revived at the Labour Party’s Easter conference.
