Andrew Fisher, Prime’ Minister of that Cabinet, was re- | sponsible for it and was acclaimed for having hit upon an and economical system But midway of the great wa the Labor Government gave place to a coalition headed by W. M. Hughes. The latfer, faced with efficient the Australian forces in Fr: and elsewhere, moved to introduce conscription, declaring it to be logical corollary of compulso: training. Labor, never as a party, an en- participation in the war, was at once aflame with indighation and hostility. A referendum on the subject was held, with Labor wii ning a bitter campaign.
