LODGE DOCTORS.
FRIENDLY SOCIETIES' AGREEMENT.
[BY TELEGRAPH. —PRESS ASSOCIATION.]
Wellington, Saturday. Representatives of the friendly societies and the British Medical Association have arranged an agreement which is reported to be mutually satisfactory. The principal clause is that in the event of a disagreement between a society, or a branch, and its medical officer, or between a lodge and a member of the British Medical Association, the matter is to be submitted to a committee drawn from the local division of the New Zealand branch and the society or branch concerned. If the committee fails to agree, the matter is to be submitted to arbitrators, one to be appointed by each party, and the arbitrators to appoint an umpire, who, in the event of their disagreeing, shall be called upon to give his decision. The decision of the arbitrators is to be binding. The fixing of the fees is on the principle of freedom of contract between each lodge and its doctor.: ' ;'. . • ' ' '
