PARTY POLITICS.
SPLIT IN AUSTRALIA. SYDNEY, Jan. 23. Four hundred delegates, representing 70 trade unions, 62 Australian Labour Party branches, and more than 150,000 New South AVales unionists, at a conference in the Trades Hall at the week-end, in an effort to overthrow what was termed the “inner group,” dominated by the Leader of the Opposition (Mr J. T. Lang) passed a motion repudiating the “inner group, declaring war on it and calling on the Federal Australian Labour Party executive to recognise a new movement as the only official New South Wales branch representing organised labour. The conference also decided to set up a central Labour Organising Committee of 30 to carry out plans for the reconstituted party to regain control of the party machine.
