LABOUR MEMBERS HAVE AN IDEA.
INSURANCE SHOULD BE STATE MONOPOLY. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. Aus. and N.Z. Cable Association. (Received, Tune 24. 11 a.m.) SYDNEY, June 24. A deputation from the Accident Underwriters’ Association of New South Wales waited on the Minister of Labour and Industry (Mr Baddeley) and asked that the operation of the Workers Compensation Act should be postponed for a period Of three months. The deputation contended that the Act covered cases not previously dealt with. The companies required time to work out equitable premiums so that too heavy burdens would not be placed on employers. The Minister promised to make a definite announcement on the subject to-day. A deputation of Labour members suggested to Mr Baddeley that insurance should be a State monopoly. It stated that it considered that the increased premiums charged by private companies were excessive. The Minister, in reply, said that for some time past he had had a committee gathering information about the matter. As soon as he had anything definite, he would present it to caucus.
