N.S.W. POLITICS

A CENSURE MOTION. SYDNEY, August 11. Sir John Fuller has launched a'censure motion on the Storey Government, the gravamen being Mr Justice Ewing’s inquiry and the subsequent release of prisoners. Mr Fuller attacked the Government oyer tho proposal 10 reinstate the 1917 railway strikers and tho delay in fulfilling tho promise to deal, with profiteering. He caused some disorder by ro ferring to Archbishop Mannix as “a rebel priest,” and by declaring that two of the State's Ministers who attended Dr. Mannix’s farewell should have been severely reprimanded and put out of the Ministry. He said the action of the Government over the Industrial Workers of the World case had shaken the confidence of the people so far as the administration of justice was concerned. Ho then moved a motion of cennre.

On the motion of tho Premier, the debate in the House was adjourned till this afternoon.
