What are the benefits?
The member of parliament from
Northampton, H. B. Lees Smith, and
the managing director of a great
wholesale establishment of London,
Wilkie Calvert (brother of Dr. Sidney
Calvert, professor of chemistry at the
University of Missouri), summarized
these benefits: -
Sickness and Other Benefite,
The workman pays eight cents a
week or less? His benefits are the
same whatever he paysi- These bene-
fits Include free medical attendpce
and free medicine, sickness benefit,
disablement or invalidity pension, ma-
ternity beneft, sanitarium benefit.
Free medical attendance and free
medicine are provided to the worker
who becomes ill. This provision has
been sharply attacked By? the British
doctors. The sickness benefit varies
in amount Ordinarily it is 82.50 a
week for men and $175 a week for
women for 26 weeks. Sickness bene-
fits cease at seventy years of age,
when the old age pension becomes
payable. If sickness continues long-
er than 26 weeks, $1.25 a week is pald,
during* the remainder of the sickness/
however long it may be. Provision is
made mr certain reduction in benefits
when members are in arrears ‘wit
•their edntributions, but no'one is sus
pended from medical, sanitarium and-
maternity benefits until more than 26
weeks dn arrears. Insured women,
married', or unmarried, and the wives'
of( insured men, whether insured or
nos, receive a maternity benefit of
$3,50 in addition to sickness benefit.

in the case of inness from worry as to
