SICKNESS INSURANCE FOR WORKMEN MAY BE URGED AT GENEVA.
By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright. Aus. and N.Z. Cable Association. GENEVA, June 14. The Labour Conference is likely to adopt two important conventions, one relating to compulsory sickness insurance for workers in industry and commerce, out-workers, and domestic servants, the other relating to agricultural workers. The. employers’ delegates have notified that they will abstain from voting on the draft conventions, while the workers’ group, considering them far from satisfactory, will vote for them. Mention was frequently made in the debates to the work of the Australian Royal Commission, and the opinion was expressed that if the conventions were adopted they will be valuable in any action contemplated by the Australian Government. The discussions at the plenary sessions indicate a general desire for a universal scheme of sickness insurance.
