COMPULSORY INSURANCE.
LABOR'S ANTAGONISM. SOME PROS AND CONS. By Cable—Press Association —Copyright. Received 15, 5 p.m. London, October 14. An actuarial investigation on behalf of the Labor Party shows that the Insurance Bill, while inflicting initial loss on trades unions, will ultimately distinctly strengthen their financial position.
Mr. Lloyd-George, Chancellor of the Exchequer, replying to a request of the Associated Chambers of Commerce urging further delay in the Insurance Bill, stated that further postponement was not desirable.
The discussion at the Edinburgh Conference revealed a determination not to administer the Bill unless Mr. LloydGeoTge grants the minimum demand. The British Medical Association was equally insistent regarding the minimum.
Mr. Wortliington Evans, M.P., points out the great injustices to soldiers and sailors, who will be unable to agitate against the deduction of twopence per week from their pay. Yet they would not get the sick allowance benefit while serving, and nothing would be given their wives and children.
