OPPOSE SETTING FEES IN
COMPENSATION CASES

NEWARK. June 7:-Indications
that the physicians OF New Jersey
are almost unanimously opposed to
the setting UP of a schedule of fees

cal Society of New Jersey.
OF ten county medical societies

larger counties in which industrial
cases are the more numerous. They
are Essex, Camden, Hudson, Mercer,
Middlesex. Monmouth and Passaic
Warren, one of the smaller coun-
ties, is also opposed.
The two county societies, which
have voted in favor of a schedule
are Salem and Hunterdon, both
rural counties in which industrial
cases are the less numerous.
The balance Of the eleven coun-
ties will hold meetings within the
next two weeks in order that they
may instruct their delegates to the
annual convention of the State
Medical Society. which will be held
in Spring Lake June 81. 22 and %,
when the question will come up for
final action.

tee will be held in this city next
