Australia
EXPELLED FROM LABOR'S
RANKS. THE COAL STRIKERS.
Press Association—Copyright. (Received 11.30 a.m.) Sydney, November 4
The executive of the Political Labour League expelled Mr J. C. Watson from the movement because of his attitude to conscription.
The miners remain firm in their demands, and there are indications of a protracted struggle. One of the men's officials stated that if the trouble was prolonged, the New Zealand miners would join their forces within a week.
CONSCRiPTION REFERENDUM.
Sydney, November 3.
Though the excitement in connection with the referendum campaign has largely subsided, interest in the final result, which,the Chief Electoral Officer states will be unavailable for ten days, at least remains intense. The later returns continue to slightly reduce the "No" majority. Meantime the political situation as the outcome of the referendum, is very unsettled generally. This particularly applies in regard to the Commonwealth and New South Wales Ministers. Rumours of all sorts as to possible changes and reconstructions are abroad. Some changes are inevitable, and others dependent upon how the referendum goes. Current political leaders for the most part maintain a discreet silence, awaiting events. All parties, however, are agreed that, whatever eventuates, there must be no slackening of the prosecution of Australia's share in the war.
