The followers of Jacob Johnson, the former secretary of the union, have decided to apply for registration. Tho section under Mr. lom Walsh, the recently appointed secretary, bad already lodged an application for registration. Mr. Walsh describes tho move of the Johnson faction as bluff, as they have had three years in which to register, but have always scouted the idea.
