DOMESTICS.
Employers of domestic servants will be under the necessity, before March Ist next, of insuring themselves against possible claims by their servants for componsatkxn for accidents which may arise out of and in the course cif the employment. The amendment passed last session to the Workers' Compensation Act brings withi.iv the scope of the statute "domestic service in wfliSdb the employment or engagement is for a period of not less than seven days." The new law comes into operation on March Ist, 1912, and in view of the fact tibat the defence that the oc<cupa<tion is not carried on for the purposes of the employers' trade or business will no Longer be available, the wisdom of effecting an insurance against po-ssi'Me claims for compensation will be apparent to every householder.
