THE MINIMUM DEMANDED. (Received Last Night, 5.5 o'clock.) LONDON, October 14. An actuarial investigation on behalf of the Labour Party shows that the Insurance Bill, while inflicting an initial lo?s on the Trades Unions, will ultimately distinctly strengthen their financial position.
The Hon. D. Lloyd-George, replying to a request associated with Chambers of Commerce, urging a further delay in the Insurance Bill, stated that a further postponement was not desirable.
A discussion at the Edinburg conference revealed the determination of the Chambers of Commerce not to administer the Bill unless Mr LloydGeorge grants the minimum demand. The British Medical Association are equally insistent regarding the minimum. iMr Worthington Evans, M.P., points out the great injustices to soldiers and sailors, who are unable to agitate against the twopence a week deduction from their pay, yet they will not get a sick allowance benefit while serving, and nothing will be given to their wives and children.
