"IN HONOUR BOUiiD." -.—— CHANCELLOR FULFILS HIS PLEDCE TO DOCTURS. NO FHE £ CHOICE. As briefly reported in our 6.30 edition last night, the House of Go Curious dis- cussea a report from the Standing Committee of the National Insura/ice Act (1911) Amendment Bill. Mr. 'Masterman in accepting Mr. Ramsay Macdcnaid's proposal that if the Insurance Couimissioners were satisfied that insured perMJllS in an area were not receiving satisfactory medic al treatment under the panel sys- tem the Commissioners might authorise or make other arrangements for a medicia: service and for making ao in- sured persons monetary payments, said it wa.s not intended to supersede the panel system but as an alternative. There were certain districts where there were an msuilicient number of doctors, and. it was necessary to encourage men W settle in those districts. Mr. W. H. Forster (C.) considered that the Com- missioners already had the powers pro- poc.ee; by this clause and therefore it was not necessary. The clause was agreed to. Chancellor's Piadge. Clause 10 was considered. It pro- vider that no voluntary contributor whose total income exceeds £ 160 a year shall be entitled to receive medical benefit, but in that case the weekly con- tribution which would otherwise be payable by him shall be reduced by one penny.—Mr. Goulding (C.) moved to limit th-e operation of the clause to con- tributory who became insured after the passing of the Act. He contended that the House would do a grave act of in- justice by making the provision retro- spective, and so excluding many people who had entered into contracts with the Government and with approved societies to secure benefits which now were to be taken from them-i-dr H Lawson (C.) seconded the amendment. He supposed the proposal in th. Bill was looked upon as a sop to the medical profession, but it went onltf a very little wav to meet their grievance. Mr. Masterman was unable to accept the amendment, and denied that the Government were breaking faith with those contributors whose incomes had risen to over JE160 a year. This prrv vision was inserted in fulfilment of q, pledge made by the Chancellor of the Exchequer to the medical professiolJ, ia consequence of which IS,000 doctors earue on the panel. He did not think it was an unfair pledge to have given, as no injury would be done to the contribu- tors affected. During the timo that their income was under the limit they would have received medical benefits, and after that time they could contract out as far as medical benefit were con- cerned, but they would .still remain members of their society and get other benefits. The discussion was continued by several piembers. n Honour Bound." I Mr. Lloyd. George said this clause was introduced in accordance with a pro- miso made to the doctors. He thought j many of the demands made by the doc- tors were very unreasonable, but he really could not resist this one, and ha vine given the pledge he was in honour bound to stand by it. The amendment was rejecte d by 228 to 100. Mr. G. Locker-Lampson (C.) moved an addition to Clause 10, providing that insured persons desiring the ser- vices of doctors not on the panel should be allowed to make arrangements ac- cordingly. At 8.15 the debate was interrupted, and the House proceeded to de-al with the private Bills, to which Mr. T. Healy had objected at the opening of the sitting. These having been disposed of the de'bate on the Insurance Bill was. then resumed, and Sir R. Finiay (C.) supported Mr. Locker Lampson's amendment on the ground that the in- j teations of Parliament ought to be given effect to. The Most Democratic eodles." Mr. Masterman opposed the amend- ment. Be was doubt-fid whether it had the support of the rank and file of the approved societies. The Insurance Committees, which were the most demo- eratic bodies in the country, had abso- lute and unlettered discretion to give free choice of doctors outside the panel system to any member who chooe to ask for it. If they took a.way that discre- tion they would smash the Insurance Committees and Lose the panel doc- tors. He believed the question would settle itself if members would have pati- ence.

FOOTBALL BETTING. TEXT CF THE ASSOCIATION'S NEW MEASURE. The text of the Ready Money Foot- ball Betting Bill introductd at the rev- quest of the Footbail Association, for the suppression of coupon betting on footbal matches, was issued to-day. The measure deals solely with ready money betting on the coupon system. It does not aim at interfering with individuals who choose, by means of bets with other individuals, to back their oihnien as to the merits of any football team, nor does it penalise u.ny- one for betting on the result of a match.

PRO BOHO PUBLICO I PRINCE ARTHUR ANJ THE SCIENCE Or McDiCINf. Prince Arthur of Connaught, in open- ing the international Congress of Medi- cine on behall of the King, in the Albert Hall, London, to-day, said his Majesty earnestly hoped -the Congress raight conduce to the advancement of the gr"r. science of medicine and the general benelit of mankind. Medicai science had lately furnished powerful weapons of defence against disease. Tha Congress forged another link in the Imperial idea, and prompted \n rid- wide international relationships. Sir Edvyard Grey welcomed the dele- gates on behalf of the Government. The worid of science, he said, was in- ternational It had its controversies,- but those controversies were not national. The public had an individual interest in the science of medicine and surgery. Secret of the Universe. It was as near to the study of what might be called the secret of the uni- verse as any conceivable form of science could be. Opposition oil the part of the public had given way to ex- pectation.

CASW0RKE3S DETERMINED. PREPARED TO fIGHT. MINERS' FctttRATiON ON UNION pESTlih. At a quarterly meeting of the South Was section of the Gasworkers' and General Labourers' Union, held at the Marchioness 01 Bute Hotel, Cardiff, a most important subject discussed was the relation* of numbers of the Union working m collieries to the Miners' Federation, which treats such employes as non-unionists. Mr. H. Pickard, general organiser of the Gasworkers' Lnion, attended speci- aliy to report on visits which he had made to the various colliery districts, and said that he had found an enthusi- astic feeling among the men, who were determined to remain loyal to their own union, and he aasurod them that if they remained loyal the Federation could de- clare a strike whenever it liked, and the Gasworkers' Union would support the men and fight the Federation. It was resolved to appeal to members of the uiuon in the oouiery districts to remain loyal, "d to guarantee finan- cial support in &ny stoppage that the miners may declare; also that the union demand that those men who had already been forced into the Fed era- tion should be transferred to the Gas-) workers' Union. An Arbitration. 1 Another important matter discussed wa& the question of the Mtuanesma-nn 1;pbe Works arbitration. The district secretary (Mr. Victor Morgan) reported that out of 85 sections ol men repre- sented at the annual diecussi-on over wages in July last, only five sections went to arbitration before.

A CRIFAT-SUCCESS. SWANSEA HORSE SHOW JUSTIFIES ITS PROMOTERS. i I TOTAL PRoCEEPS. The proTnoters of this year's Swan- 1 &ea Horse Show have every reason to feel satisfied with the result of their venture, for the figures ilhw to hiijid show that the takings reached the frand total of L320 10s. 9d., of which 79 4s. 3d. was taken on the second day. it must be borne in mind, however, that the show was the first two days' show since the resuscitation of the event in 1903, and it will be noticed j tilat the attendance on the Tuesday was very far behind that of the first Indeed, Mr. F. J. Parker, the gewal secretary, wh o&e b."rd work made so much for the success of the ehctw, while expressing his satisfaction with the figures, is rather disappointed with the lack of town patronage on the eocond day, when the programme was much more attractive imaa a spectacular point cf view. As regards the exhibits, the general concensus of opinion among tho**} eminently qualitiied to judge is that the collection of horses was the best evoil seen in Swansea. In the hackney and saddle classes^ for instance, there wa.* not one which had not previously taken big prizes at other leading shows, and the collection in these classes was really ruagmfieent. Aga.n, the mouiir tain ppni&s represented the pick of the breed, and couid not have been beatcp any where. Altogether it can be said that a finer horse$htw for its sizo oould not be found a *.u the 1913 Swan- sea Horse Show. The following awarus were made tot) I j late for insertion on Tuesday:— Saddle Classes. Hackneys, shown in saddle, mare or gelding, under 13.2 hands.—1, D. Rees Jones (Kitty Smart); 2, Tom J.
