WORKERS' COMPENSATION FOR ACCIDENTS ACT.
[BY TEIiEGKAPH. OWN CORRESPONDENT.] Wellington, Wednesday. Tire Education Department has written to the Taranaki Education Board, declining to give an opinion as to the Board's position under the Workers' Compensation for Accidents Act, 1900. The Board was responsible for its Acts. The Minister's opinion would be no defence to an action, and the publication of his opinion would throw on the Government a responsibility it declined to assume. - '
The first claim in the Wellington provincial district under the Workers' Compensation for Accidents Act, 1900,, has been lodged by Samuel George Bunting, bushfeller, of Dannevirke, against Edvart T. Omundsen, bush contractor, in whose employ ho was when his left foot was crushed by a falling tree on October 28. The amount claimed is £10 16s. The case will come before the Arbitration Court in Wellington next month.
