WELLINGTON EMPLOYERS ASSOCIATION.
[BY TELEGRAPH. —OWN CORRESPONDENT.] Wellington, Tuesday. At a meeting of the executive of the Wellington Employers' Association, a letter was read from the Premier stating that he would forward to the association matter bearing on the relations between employers and employed, proposed labour legislation, etc., just as he was accustomed to do to the Trades and Labour Council. Gratification was • expressed that employers would now have a better chance of being heard in matters affecting their interests. The Canter* bury association wrote asking if the Wellington employers would join with them in formulating some scheme of mutual insurance in the matter of accident to workers. In a conversation which followed stress was laid upon the fact that the decisions of the Arbitration Court in compensation for accident cases were practically covering not only bona-fide accidents, but also deaths from personal ailments and diseases which occurred during employment. It was asserted that premiums were high on this account, and not because of real accidents. It was ultimately resolved to refer the question back to the Canterbury association.
