MR. J. B. SUITOR'S SEAT
MR. J< DOOLEY REFERS
TO REPORT TO THE A.L.P.
"DECISION BASED ON UNTRUTH"
Sydney, Monday.
Mr. J. Dooley, M.L.À., yesterday
commented upon the adoption by the
A.L.P. executive of the report by the
special committee which inquired into
the appointment of Mr. J. B. Suttor
to the Legislative Council. j
Mr. Dooley said that he was not !
yet in receipt of the decision of the
executive, nor had he seen the actual
report upon which that decision was :
based. He had no doubt, however,
that the report, as presented, would
be adopted. "He proposed to issue, as |
soon as possible, a complete state-
ment on the subject to the A.L.P. !
branches, the unions, and the
general public. In the mean-
time he would" draw attention
to the fact that three important
statement« in the report, as published
in the, newspapers, were untrue, and
that inferences and opinions expressed
in regard to himself were based on
the evidence of Mr. Michael Hynes
alone, and were unsupported by any j
other witnesses.
"It is on untruthful statements and I
unwarranted inference that the exe-
cutive has given its decision," went
on Mr. Dooley, "and which T believe
the Labor movement will not tolerate.
It is quite evident that the commit-
tee and the majority of the executive
were only too ready to accept the
statement of Hynes in preference to
my own or-that of any other reputable
and truthful member of the move-
ment. The action of the executive
in this case clearly demonstrates the
necessity of altering the present
methods of electing the executive in
order to ensure the triumph of
honor and justice in the Labor move- j
ment."
