DOCTORS’ BILL
POSITION OF FRIENDLY SOCIETIES. DUNEDIN DECISION. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) DUNEDIN, September 28. “If the doctors’ Bill becomes law it will cut the sinews of life of the friendly societies and they will bleed to death,” said Mr P. W. Stabb at the half-yearly meeting of the Otago district committee of the MJJ.1.0.0.F. on Saturday. He presented the following motion, which was carried practically unanimously by the 86 members present:— “This meeting views with concern the effect on friendly societies of the Social Security A.mendment Bill. It would appear that under its provisions lodge contracts with medical officers would be cancelled automatically, thus depriving members of the services of the lodge doctors, from whose profession our society has had eminently satisfactory and efficient' service since the inception of the district in 1848.” In a discussion on the motion it was made clear that the meeting entirely dissociated itself from the political implications of the controversy.
