AND LODGE DOCTORS. (By TeUgmvh — Frets Auivaation.) INVERCARGILL, Last Night. Tbo doctors of Invercargill, acting in unanimity, have resigned their positions as lodge doctors of the town's Friendly Societies. This action has •arisen as a result »f the falling •through of negotiations, which for nine months or more have been conducted bet>veen tho parties. The doctors desire that their agreement with the societies bo brought into line with those existing elsewhere in New Zea.(aod, and that major operations be not included a*J forming part of lodge doctors' duties. The present agreement between the Friendly Societies was made thirty years ago. The •mix of the present dispute is that medical men wish operations to be paid for, and this tho lodgey have refused to concede. Tho result is that 'lodge surgeons gavo three months nofcive to end tho agreement. Thf •agreement, which at present obtains, :»s from a medical man's point of view •decidedly inferior to that existing in any other part of the Dominion.
