MEMORANDUM OF INTERVIEW. Date ................................................................ Time..........................to............................ SUBJECT. - 2 - Reference................................................ Present............................................ Dame Buller was anxious that in whatever they did they should keep in touch with the Trade Unions and should not do anything which would cut across Trade Union policy. In Exeter, where she lives, the Trades Council was connected with the Orthopaedic Hospital and she always made a point of seeing that there was no clash between her organisation and the Trade Unions. Mr. Citrine referred to the training schemes for disabled men initiated after the War and pointed out the painful experience which the Trade Unions had had of them, and also of the effect on the disabled men themselves. He suggested that If Dame Buller would be good enough to send along literature and documents explaining in more detail what the organisation was and what it purported to do, we would have the matter examined here, and probably further interviews could be arranged between Dame Buller and Mr. Smyth and Dr. Morgan. He also explained that in our Workmen's Compensation Bill there was a special provision for the rehabilitation of disabled workers and he gave Dame Buller a copy of It. Dame Buller said that she quite appreciated the feeling about what had happened after the War, which she thought had been "very, very badly handled" : she was very interested in our compensation proposals and would read the copy of our Bill with interest. She would also send along the documents as suggested by Mr. Citrine and be very glad to keep in touch with us all through. In reply to a question she said that the insurance companies do not at the moment give any assistance to her organisation, but an endeavour was being made to get them to do so. The interview then terminated.
