LODGE DOCTORS RESIGN.

CONCERTED ACTION AT INVER-

CARGILL

SES PUTE OVER AGREEMENTS

[PRESS ASSOCIATION TELEGRAM] INVERCARGILL, Dec. 17

The doctors of Invercargill, acting in unanimity, have sent in resignations of their positions as lodge doctors of the town’s friendly societies. This action has arisen as a result of the falling through of negotiations which for nine months or more have been conducted between the parties. The doctors desire that their agreement with the societies be brought into line with those existing elsewhere in New Zealand, and that major operations be not included as forming part of lodge doctors’ duties. The present agreement between the friendly societies was . made 30 years ago. The crux of the present dispute is that the medical men wish operations to be paid for and this the lodges have refused to concede. The result is that the lodge surgeons gave three months’ notice. The agreement which at present obtains is, from the medical •man’s point of view, decidedly inferior to that existing in any other part of the Dominion. . i jt Silver Brush*! at Nasmith With evcryMih.
