THE POSITION IN NEW SOUTH WALES. MINISTERIAL RESPONSIBILITY. (Received 8. 8.40 a.m.) Sydney, January 8. Mr. Dacey states that nothing was further from his thoughts than political influence in the control of the railways. He was bitterly opposed to such influence, but there ought to be 'true Ministerial responsibility to Parliament. Mr. Beeby states that the Government has requested the Railway Commissioner to make definite improvements in the conditions of employees. These include recognition of the eight hours day in all grades (except at small country stations), a minimum wage of eight shillings for all adult servants, granting leave of absence to employees of over twenty years’ standing, and recognition of long service.
