Book excerpt: Excerpt from Second Interim Report of the New South Wales Board of Trade on the Prevalence of Miners' Phthisis and Pneumoconiosis in Certain Industries: Report Upon the Constitution and Cost of a Technical Commission of Inquiry Into Miners' Phthisis and Other Diseases Affecting Miners To His Excellency Sir Walter Edward Davidson, Knight Commander of the Most Distinguished Order of St. Michael and St. George, Governor of the State of New South Wales and its Dependencies in the Commonwealth of Australia. May It Please Your Excellency, - The New South Wales Board of Trade has the honour to present herewith a Second Interim Report containing complete proposals (including an estimate of cost) for the formation of a technical commission of inquiry referred to in the second, of the Boards recommendations contained in its Report of the 9th December, 1918. The Report in question had reference to the following questions referred to it by the Minister for Labour and Industry by letters dated the 28th June, 1918, and the 23rd August, 1918, namely: 1. To what extent does miners' phthisis exist amongst employees in metalliferous mines, in the rock-chopping and sewer mining industry, and in ore treatment, refining and reduction works? 2. Should this desease be included in the schedule of the Workmen's Compensation Act, 1916, and, if so, upon what terms? 3. To what extent does the disease - that is, pneumoconiosis - exist amongst quarrymen, stone-masons and other employees working in stone? 4. What relief, additional or alternative to the inclusion in the schedule of the Workmen's Compensation Act, 1916, should be provided in respect of the incidence of the disease upon any of the individual classes mentioned in this series of questions? It is desired to point out that the proposals contained in the present Report are framed with a view to the technical commission undertaking an examination of miners and others for plumbism and ankylostomiasis as well as pneumoconiosis.
