FRIENDLY SOCIETIES AND TRADE-UNIONS. FORTIETH ANNUAL REPORT BY THE REGISTRAR OF FRIENDLY SOCIETIES, FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31st DECEMBER, 1916.

Presented to both Houses of the General Assembly pursua-nt to the Friendly Societies Act, 1909$ Section 9, and, the Trade-unions Act, 1908, Section 16.

Tlie Registrar of Friendly Societies to the Hon. the Minister. Sir,— Wellington, Ist July, 1917. I have the honour to submit herewith, in accordance with the Act, the annual report of this Office for- the year ended 81st December, 1916. I have, &c, R. E. Hayes, Registrar of Friendly Societies.

Social Insurance and Friendly Societies. As an outcome of tho conference held by the Government with the representatives of Friendly societies in April, 191.6, a scheme for the extension of State benefits to members of friendly societies, on special terms, was embodied in the Finance Act (Part IX) of last session. The objects of this Act are threefold : — (1.) To enlarge the administration of maternity assistance by extending its operations to members of provident organizations : (2.) To extend the State's propaganda for the establishment of a contributory system of provision for old age : (3.) To enable friendly societies to secure a provision in old age for their members at specially low rates and at the same time relieve their funds in respect of agedsiokness liability. As soon as the measure became law, steps were taken by the Department to draw up the necessary regulations, forms, &c, for the guidance of approved friendly societies. The conditions of " approval " were by the Act to be determined by the National Provident Fund Board. Towards the close of the year the necessary regulations and model rules were circulated to all societies with instructions as to the procedure to be adopted in applying for " approval." In adopting terms of " approval " the Board was to a certain extent bound by the financial obligations the Act itself imposed, as it was clear that only societies whose funds were established on actuarial principles would be able to conform to requirements. The well-known affiliated societies such as the Odd Fellows, Foresters, Druids, Rechabites, &c, had no difficulty in satisfying the Board in this respect. In the case of societies which were unable to hold their annual meetings before the end of the year the Board was empowered to grant " provisional approval " to extend only to the time of the first annual meeting at which the "model" rules could be made by tho society for registration. With the view of imparting to friendly societies a knowledge of the objects of the Act and its administration, the Registrar, during the months of November and December, visited the principal centres of the Dominion and addressed open meetings of societies. At those meetings there were excellent attendances, and the criticism of the scheme in the form of questions evidenced an intelligentinterest in this effort at co-operation as between the Government and the societies. Most of the societies were able to obtain " provisional approval " in time for the coming into operation of the Act-—lst January, 1917 —and thus at once secure for their members the maternity allowance. In those societies whose organization did not permit of " approval " by that date steps were taken to become approved as soon afterwards as possible. At the time of writing nearly every actuarially valued society in the Dominion had become either " approved " or " provisionally approved." I—H. 1.

War Risks. The effect of the war on the societies and on benefit funds in particular is occasioning some anxiety on the part of the managing bodies, the magnitude of the military operations having far exceeded what was anticipated three years ago. j , In November, 1914, the Government, in response to a request by the societies, agreed to subsidize the reinsurance of death" benefits of soldier members on active service to the extent of paying one-half of the premiums. The subsidy was granted to societies whether they reinsured this benefit with outside insurance companies or carried the risk on their own Funeral Funds. On. this account the following sums were paid through the Department to the various friendly societies as the State's share of the liability under this system :• — £ s. d.

'.'.'"' .J.: .. .. £11,867 5 9 With the exception of some small outstanding liabilities the above account covers the State's liability up to the 30th September, 1916, in respect of this reinsurance. As the number of members on active service rapidly increased and the liability assumed <:correspondingly augmented proportions- -with the danger that the rate of expenditure might tend to drift beyond the Department's control —-the Government decided to establish a Departmental Reinsurance Fund. This fund began operations as from the Ist October, 1916, being administered by a Board consisting of the Hon. the Minister of Finance, the Hon. the Minister in Charge of Friendly Societies, and the Registrar. The premium rate to be charged is fixed by the Board on consideration of reports from, the Actuary as required from time to time. The societies pay into the iund one-half of the premium rate which had been so fixed, the State finding the remaining moiety. In the case of any profit at the close of the war the surplus is to be distributed pro rata amongst the participating societies and the Government; while, on the other hand, should the premium, rate V prove insufficient and a deficiency be shown, a levy pro rata will be struck for the proportion due from all parties to the scheme. This reinsurance method has been adopted by practically the whole of the societies of the Dominion. Up to the 31st March, 1917, there were 5,488 members insured in the fund, representing cover equal to £200,424. This number increases as the reinsurances with outside companies expire, and, of course, as new men go into camp. The fund protects societies against the effect of a mortality liability their funds were never intended to carry, and is based on as equitable a footing as can be expected to meet the exigencies of the crisis. Apart from the reinsurance of the death benefits, one of the most difficult problems facing the friendly societies at the present time is the payment of contributions to the various Sick and Funeral Funds on behalf of their members who have gone to the front, the liability for which in some lodges '"is falling on a comparatively small number of the remaining members. It is satisfactory to state - that in nearly all the societies the members have loyally and patriotically undertaken to keep their soldier members " financially good " while away on active service ; and when it is remembered that the war has now lasted nearly three years, it can readily be understood that the pressure is seriously felt. In those societies which were fortunate enough .to possess surplus or incidental funds which could be applied to this purpose, the strain at first was not felt; but in roost cases these funds have now been depleted and special measures have to be taken to finance the position. In very few cases, fortunately, has any society, so far found it necessary to " waive " the contributions of these members to the Sick and Funeral Funds. Such a course would be quite at variance with the sound policy which in the past has characterized the management of friendly societies' funds ; and, in view of possibly increased sickness liabilities in the future as a result of the war, it is fortunate that this is so,, as it is most important that the Sick Funds of the societies should be maintained with unimpaired resources. At the 31st March last there were about seven thousand members of societies on active service ; the cost of one year's contributions of these members to their Sick and Funeral Funds is estimated at £10,500, and this sum represents what the members of societies in one form or another have to make good to the Benefit Funds at the present time on behalf of soldier members irrespective of,fees for medical attendance and medicines. In order to lighten the burden some societies have adopted a method of spreading the liability over a long period with small levies, a system that ensures the Sick Funds eventually receiving credit for the whole of these contributions of the soldier members. If a sinking fund is established for this purpose on sound, lines no exception can be taken to such a course, which will enable societies to conserve their funds and at the same time continue their patriotic efforts on behalf of the members at the front. Audit of Friendly Societies' Accounts. It happens almost every year that cases come before the Department illustrating the evil results of the present lax method of audit as legalized in friendly societies.: The auditors for the most part aire members whoso occupations utterly unfit them for this duty, and there is nowadays really less supervision over the finances than formerly when a keener personal interest in lodge work was shown ,by menders. It is necessary therefore to propose some method that will ensure audit security to the benefit- funds more in keeping with, business requirements. The present audit system lias not -■■'.been, strengthened since 1877,' although, the accounted funds have increased from £94,000 to almost '£2,000,000,

All societies have some of their funds consolidated, and many of them have now consolidated all their benefit funds. The need for a special audit of branch funds is consequently diminishing as the consolidation movement is increasing the necessity for it in the central funds. If, therefore, on the score of expense, it has not been practicable to enforce the auditing of separate lodge accounts by professional and independent auditors, the least that can be done is to make it compulsory that the accounts of central bodies of societies and districts shall be submitted to such an audit. This measure of reform should be adopted without delay.

Mokihinui with Loyal Ngakawau Lodge (United Westland District). The following change of name was registered : 1.F.5.: Waikato Medical and Accident Society to the Huntly Collieries Medical and Accident Relief Association. The position of the orders in respect of registration is shown by the following summary as at the beginning and end of 1916 :■ —

The reduction in the number of total registrations at the close of the year is due to the cancellation of defunct or moribund branches of the Independent Order of Good Templars. This order exists mainly for propaganda purposes ; its lodges dispense no benefits of the usual friendly society class, and their elimination from these tables ensures a more correct view of the position as it actually exists. A complete list of societies and branches on the register as at the end of 1916 is given in Appendix I.

The total funds of the societies and branches as on the 31st December, 1916, amounted to £1,9.54,940, made up as follows : Sick and Funeral Funds (inclusive of amounts transferred to special funds out of surplus), £1,782,635 ; Medical and Management Funds, goods, &c, £172,305. Dividing the total funds by the number of members at the end of the year it is found the average capital per member is now £27 15s. Bd. Taking the several years 1907-1916, the number of lodges whose returns were tabulated, the number of members, total funds, and average capital per member at the end of each year were as under :■ —

The above figures include the latest statistics received from lodges. The following statement shows the, disposal of the total funds (including those of the centra bodies) as on 31st December, 1916 : —

The next table shows the number of members of friendly societies, the amount of their accumulated capital, and the average capital per member, in each of the Australian States and in the Dominion of New Zealand, according to the latest received statistics, arranged in order of membership:—

The average capital per member lias been steadily increasing of late, but, though satisfactory from oertain standpoints, this can hardly bo regarded as a healthy sign- -the increase being contemporaneous with the general drop in membership.

* The word "lodge," when applied to all societies, is to be understood as embracing the synonymous terms " court," " tent," <fcc, as used in the various orders.

Sickness. The number of members sick during 1916 was 10,947, equal to 15-38 per 100 members at risk. The sickness experienced during 1916 was 1.1.6,468 weeks, equal to 10 week's 4 days per sick member, and 1 week 4 days for each member at risk. Mortality. The following statement of average mortality experienced during the years 1912-16 is given herewith, but it takes no account of age incidence: —

The striking rise in the average death rates is an indication of the effects of the war on societies. Sich and Funeral Funds. The contributions and entrance fees paid to Sick and Funeral Funds in 1916 amounted to £108,661. Divided by the mean number of members the average was £1 10s. 4d., as compared with £1 10s. 7d. in 1.915. The interest and rent received by the lodges and central bodies amounted to £82,1f lin 1916, equal to £1 2s. lid. per member, as against £1 Is. 6d. for .191.5. The amount of sickness benefit paid was £75,677 in 1916, equal to £6 18s. ,3d. per member sick, and. £1 Is. Id. per member, as against £6 9s. Id. and £1 os. 9d. respectively for 1915. Viewing the amount paid in relation to the weeks of sickness, the average benefit per week is found to be 13s. in 1916, as compared with 13s. 6d. in 1915. The funeral benefit paid amounted to £26,855 in 1916, equal to 7s. 6d. per member, as compared with ss. 4d. for 1915. The total worth of the Sick and Funeral Funds of 727 lodges at the beginning of 191.6 was £1,641,969, and at the end of the year £1,727,583. The balance of gain for the year was £85,61.4, or £1 3s. lid. per member in 1916, as compared with £94,542 or £1 ss. Bd. in 1915. Investment of Funds. The net income from investments credited to the Sick and Funeral Funds for 1916 amounted to £82,141, the average rate being £5 per cent, as against £5 2s. in 1915.

The completion of valuations during the year has been affected by general staff disabilities connected with the war. Appendix IX contains particulars of those completed. Regarding these no special comment is required beyond noting the fact that one of them —J1.0.R., N.Z. District (Auckland) — is a consolidated society, and its position on valuation is very satisfactory. As I pointed out last year, no allowance is made in the valuations for the prospective effect of the war on the societies' liabilities, and the valuations are therefore subject to a reservation. Though the demands upon the funds of the soc'elies may continue for a very long t'me after the war, yet the source of the difficulty disappear, when once the war is finished. The strain being consequently of finite dimensions will naturally tend to become dwarfed in comparison with the continuous future. One of the problems for solution at the close of the war involves the determination of the stress; the extent (varying with different societies), to which the call for immediate measures is insistent; and the question how far the burden may, where practicable, be left to distribute itself over the future. The effect of the war on the societies will of course depend largely upon the eventual proportion of members engaged. Many of the societies could deal unaided with the strain up to a given point. For instance, in a growing society a final war membership of, say, 15 per cent, might, by the continual accession of new members, rapidly fall to a lower and perhaps negligible percentage. Should the whole of the Second Division have to be called up, however, the proportion of members enrolled might be very high, and if the strain took an acute instead of a gradual form the immediate effect on the finances might be very marked.
