JR. ■ Johnson; : - ; who is more or less independent or political coni trol) on several matters of policy. The Government has instructed the CommLs-, ; \ sioner to observe an eight hours' day tin all grades of the service, bnt this has not '• been complied with. There is also disagreement on the quesI tion of imported or locally manufactured engines, the Government desiring, the latter, and Mr. Johnson favouring importation. The . appointment -of the recent j Royal Commission to inquire -into, the I railway congestion at Darling-Island (the grain shipping quarter of Sydney Har-. hour) is regarded in Labour. circles as a censure on Mr. Johnson's management.
