INQUIRY TO PROCEED
COMPENSATION FOR WORKERS
(By Telegraph.—Press Association.)
NEW PLYMOUTH, This Day.
A statement was made last night by IL. S. G. Smith, M.P., chairman of the Workers' Compensation Act Revision Committee, that thr inquiry into the law regarding workers' compensation will proceed even if the representatives of the workers' unions do not come-forward to give evidence. "I have no hesitation in a ing that the committee is very well balanced," sriJ Mr. Smith. "A feature has been the ear.nest-ess of each member of the ■ittee to get the f;o ttee to get the fullest evidence in order that it may be in a position to, bring down a report covering eery phase of the Act. If a certain section,'in its wisdom, deems it not desirable to come forward that is its own business." evidence so far offered had been vc / interesting and formative. Witnesses to date had shown a knowledge of the matter they were discussing, and a desire seemed general to have certain anomalies removed on tho one hand, and on the other hand ir b..ve the scope of the Act enlarged.
