AUCKLAND, Sept. 17. A request for the amendment of the law" permitting direct worker representation on fire boards will be made to the Government by the Auckland Trades Council.

Mr W. T. Kelleher, moving the adoption of the executive’s recommendation, said the proposal arose out of Ballantyne’s fire in Christchurch. He added that when workers
lives were in danger they should be protected. Government nominees on the fire boards under the present constitution sometimes had difficulty in advancing the interests of the workers, said Mr Kelleher. _
