RECONSTRUCTION OF CABINET IN NEW SOUTH WALES United Press Association —By Electric Telegraph—Copyright SYDNEY, November 4. The resignation of Senator A. J. McLachlan, the Postmaster-General and Leader of the Government in the Senate which was announced last night, and which has caused a sensation, may greatly influence the plans of the Federal Minister (Mr J. A. Lyons) for Cabinet reconstruction. Mr Lyons has announced that Senator McLachlan’s resignation has been accepted. Senator McLachlan’s action was prompted by a series of questions tabled by Mr George Lawson (Labour) of Queensland, dealing with Senator McLachlan’s association with the directorates of companies which enter into contracts with the Postal Department.
