INCREASED RATES
WORKERS’ COMPENSATION
MANUFACTURERS TAKE PRECAUTIONS
Sydney, June 191 According to a statement issued by the Accident Underwriters’ Association of New South Wales, the rates for insurances under the Workers’ Compensation Act, 1926", which comes into force on July 1 next, will be at least four times greater than the old rates. The president of the Chamber of Manufactures, Mr. Newlands, referring t 0 the new rates, said that the increased costs must be offset by every practicable economy. Towards this end the chamber is installing its own X-ray equipment, massage parlours electrical and hot-air treatments, etc. The chamber hopes by these means to protect manufacturers against the malingerer, and give every facility to the honest worker to regain his normal health as soon as possible.— Press Assn.
