N.S.W. LABOUR
REVOLT AGAINST LANG ACTION BY PARLIAMENTARY CAUCUS. FEDERAL EXECUTIVE ASKED TO INTERVENE. By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright. SYDNEY. April 27. The recent defeat of Lang Labour candidates at two State by-elections has intensified the hostility of the moderate elements against Mr Lang’s leadership of the State Labour Party with the result that the Parliamentary Labour caucus is now in open revolt, insisting upon his resignation with a view to complete unity with the rivil Labour factions of New South Wales. The Parliamentary caucus today decided by 15 votes to 11 to invite the Federal Labour executive to intervene in Labour affairs of New South Wales for the purpose of bringing about unity and presenting a solid front against the Menzies Government in the event of a crisis in the Commonwealth Parliament.
During the debate certain speakers open Ij' suggested that Mi - Lang should resign. Mr Lang in reply is reported to have said that it was not the duty of the caucus to make decisions on policy. That was the prerogative of the annual conference, which also decided who should lead the party.
