COMPENSATION FOR WORKERS
INQUIRY TO PROCEED
''By Telegraph—Press Association)
NEW PLYMOUTH, 29th March
A statement was made last night by Mr S. G. Smith, M.P., chairman of the Workers' Compensation Act Revision Committee, that the inquiry into the law regarding workers' compensation will proceed even if the representatives of the workers' unions do not conic forward to give evidence.^ "I have no hesitation in saying that this committee is very well balanced," said Mr Smith. "A feature has been the earnestness of each member of the\ committee to get tho fullest evidence in order that it may be in a position to bring down a report covering every phase of the Act. If ?,_ certain section, in its wisdom, deems it not desirable to come forward that is its own business."
The evidence so far offered had been very 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 the one hand, and on the other hand to have the scope of the Act enlarged.
