LABOUR IN AUSTRALIA
MR. CHARLTON’S UNPOPULARITY. QUEENSLAND EX-PREMIER MAY BECOME LEADER. Sydney, January 15. Mr. W. G. Mahony, a Labour member of the House of Representatives, has resigned owing to ill-health. Mr. E. G. Theodore, ex-Premier of Queensland, has been selected by the Australian Labour Party to contest the by-election. It is anticipated that Mr Theodore will eventually replace Mr M. Charlton as Labour leader. Great dissatisfaction was created by Mr Charlton’s attitude on the referendum proposals, which resulted in the loss of much prestige as a leader, and it is generally thought that the majority of the party is only awaiting an opportunity to depose him from the leadership.—A. and N.Z. METAL TRADES. QUESTION OF 44-HOURS’ WEEK. Sydney, January 15. The Amalgamated Union of Engineers is taking a ballot of its members to decide whether it should empower the district committee to force the metal trade employers to grant them full wages or a forty-four-hour week. This decision is in direct conflict with the intentions of the Australasian Society of Engineers, which decided against a strike.—A. and N.Z.
