BRITISH MEDICAL ASSOCIATION
Sir, —Tlie resolution passed at a meeting of medical practitioners in London may or may not be supported by the 55,630 members who were not there, but it has supplied the trades union leaders with a priceless argument in future. Whenever an award of the Arbitration Court is unpopular we may expect to read that “it is so grossly at variance with the essential interests of the union that it should be rejected absolutely by all members. ’ And the article in the' “British Medical Journal” may be quoted (or misquoted): “The union is in a strong position. Its services are indispensable to the welfare of the community; it can determine the conditions of its work.” I could talk about sauce for the goose being sauce for the quack, but I refrain.—Yours, etc. RAGLAN. January 12, 1948.
