RULING AWAITED
MR LANG AND THE GOVERNOR PUBLIC OFFICERS’ SALARIES (United Press Association.) (By Electric Telegraph—Copyright.) SYDNEY, July 13. (Received July 14, at 0.5 a.m.) The people of New South Wales are anxiously awaiting the ruling of the Dominions’ Office in regard to the Governor’s refusal to allow the Lang Government to swamp the Legislative Council with Labour appointees. The consensus of opinion is, according to- the press, that the Dominions’ Office will dgcline to interfere. Some of Mr Lang’s Ministers share this view, which is strengthened by a private cablegram received from the Agent-general (Mr Willis). The report is current that Mr Lang contemplated another quarrel with the Upper House. He is known to be preparing a measure, reducing the higher salaried public officers to a £SOO maximum. The members of the Upper House have already described the measure as impossible, and say that they will have no alternative but to throw it out, as they are powerless to amend it.
