WORKERS' COMPENSATION.
• (By Electric Telegraph— Copyright.) [Per Press Association.] , (Received December Ist, 8.46 a.m.) London, November 30 The Workmen's Compensation Bill , was amended in the House of Commons at Mr Gladstone's instance. An | employer is now not liable unless an I injury disables a workman, at least a week, while injuries causing death [ or serious and permanent disablement are excluded from cases where claims | are debarred when the accident is due to the workman's serious wilful , misconduct. Mr Gladstone agreed that when the injury disabled a workman for a fortnight he was entitled to compen- | sation from the date the accident 1 occurred. ; Mr Austin Chamberlain said he ■ feared the proposal would encourage ' malingering. 1 The Labour Party approving, the ' amendment was carried.
