A DOCTORS' STRIKE.
FRIENDLY SOCIETIES TURNED DOWN. By Telegraph—Press Association. Tnvercargill, Last Night. The doctors of Invereargill, acting in unanimity, have sent in their resignations of their positions ;is lodge doctors of the town's friendly societies. This action has arisen as a result of the falling through of negotiations which, for nine months or more, have been conducted between the parlies. The doctors desire Hint their agreement with the societies be brought into line with those existing elsewhere in New Zealand, and that major operations be not included as forming part of a lodge doctor's duties. The present agreement between the friendly societies was made thirty years ago. The crux of the present dispute is that medical men wish operations to be paid for, and this the lodges have refused to concede. The result is that the lodge snregons gave three months' notice. The agreement which at present obtains is. from a medical man's point of view, decidedly inferior to that existing in any other part of the Dominion.
