The Minister of Labour is being asked by Mr. J. O’Brien whether he will, this session, bring down an amendment to the Workers’ Compensation Act, to allow workers, or their dependents, to receive full compensation commensurate with what they would have received on full time, if the workers are working on relief work on short time, due to the present slump.. “A married man working on relief work at tho present time,” said Mr. O’Brien, ‘‘would receive only £4 19s 8d per month if he meets with an accident, and a single man £1 16s per month. If tho married man’s accident results in his death, his wife and children would receive only about one-third of tho £lOOO which the Act intended.”— “Star” Special Service.
