STATE INSURANCE. An important statement was made on Tues- day at the Sheffield Conference of the Notting- ham Order of Oddfellows, when Mr. Gilchrist gave details of Mr. Lloyd George's scheme of Government insurance. The following are the chief proposals: — I 5s. weekly to be given during sickness, whether temporary or permanent. Friendly societies of well-established charac- ter to be acknowledged. I Membership of the new organsiation to be open to every worker, male or female, between sixteen and seventy years of age. Employers to deduct weekly from wages a certain sum varying with age, and, supposing the sum deducted to be 3d., the employer to add a penny and the State an equal sum. If the worker were a member of a recognised friendly society nothing would be deducted. Five shillings to be the minimum for which insurance could be effected. Friendly societies, added Mr. Gilchrist, had nothing to fear from the scheme which embodied the finest proposals ever made for the benefit of their members.
