THE WAGE LIMIT IN FRIENDLY SOCIETIES.

SYDNEY, Sept. 19

The Congress Committee appointed by the last Congress presented their ?-eport on the effects of the resolution then adopted—that no doctor should

pass for admission into a friendly society lodge or club at contract rates of remuneration any person, whose weekly iucome exceeded £4—3 rid stated that New South Wales was the only State which had taken definite steps to enforce the resolution. The outcome had been that wage limit clauses were introduced into the agreements between the doctors and their lodges. Already 500 practitioners had benefited. Victoria was taking the initial steps to enforce the resolution, but West Australia, New Zeala.nd, Tasmania, and South Australia had done nothing. The Committee strongly urged the profession to make a determined stand to enforce the Avage limit clauses throughout Australasia.
