NO SOLUTION OF TROUBLE.
By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright
Sydney, Nov. 20.
After the adjournment of Parliament Cabinet held a hastily summoned meeting of the caucus, but no suggestions towards a settlement of the trouble were made.
It is understood that Mr. Lang’s colleagues suggested that Mr. Loughlin might be informed that Cabinet was fully aware that Mr. Lang had no desire to become a dictator, nor would he use the. power’s given him by the Australian Labour Party.
It is said the Premier had the support of the whole ministry; even those Ministers who voted, against him for the leadership gave warm assurances of their faithful support. In these circumstances Cabinet could not agree to Mr. Lang being dropped. It is believed further efforts are being made to placate the three members concerned, Messrs. Loughlin, Goodlin and Gillies and the results will be reported to a specially summoned caucus for tomorrow night. If these efforts fail it is believed the three members will vote to defeht the Government, in which even the Speaker, Air. Dooley will resign from the chair to make the parties even, en ; a bling Mr. Lang to ask the Governoi for a dissolution.
