MR J. M. DUNNINGHAM. N.S.W-. CABINET MINISTER. SYDNEY, May 26. Mr J. M. Dnnningham (Minister of Labour and Industries in the New South Wales Government) collapsed in his office to-day and died within an hour from a heart attack. -He was aged 54. The Premier and his Ministerial colleagues received a great shock as Mr Dnnningham was a most popular member of the Cabinet. He had Ministerial charge of the recent anniversary celebrations, resulting in overwork and minor heart seizures. He was warned by doctors to take a rest, but Mr Dunningham always replied: “I must see it through.” The Government offices were closed this afternoon. A State funeral has been ordered. Mr Dunningham had been a member of the Legislative Assembly for Randwick since 1928, and Minister of Labour and Industry since 1932.
