fore any payments. except in the case OF
casual laborers, have fallen due, the meas

mon, officials. more smoothly than was eX-
re.ted.
The physicians ~ represented by the
british Medical Association are still in
revolt against the act. and announce their
intention Of refusing to attend patients
under its provisions.
An organization including number Of
neople in society has also been formed
win the object Of resisting payments for
1oucstjo servants. This, however. is
chiefly a political move so that the only
real opposition the government has to face
is that Of the physicians The govern

nerson insured, but the physicians de-
mand S. sd. approximately 50 12) each.
The workingmen and workngwomen
have taken up the great reform with
aIaerity. and the government estimates
that Of the $4,000 600 persons insurIhle

10 100000 have already registered with
spproved societies, which have undertaken
70 administer the act, and another 100000
have taken out cards at the postofiiCes
Before the end Of the week, when the
Arst payments fall due for those drawing
weekly salaries. the government believes
that practically all those entitled to do so
Will have become insured.
The only section Of the community
likely 10 suffer is that composed OF casual
workers and old people. both men and
women. as some of the big employers
have decided to 90 away with this form

not likely TO derive any benefit from the

the employers are paying part Of the pre-

but they will be unable 20 pay their full
dues during the weeks when ,hey are out
