CO-OPERATIVE SCHEME
GAS WORKERS HANDICAPPED
As the Minister of Supply, Mr. Sullivan, anticipated in his public statement, the Auckland Gas Company's co-operative scheme is prejudiced by the present coal crisis, says Mr. W. A. Leggctt, deputysupervisor of the scheme. "The scheme," lie adds, "cannot function effectively without adequate supplies of coal."
The production council under the co-operative scheme, states Mr. Leggett. will comprise eight representatives of the workers, who will be elected by ballot, and six representatives of the company who will be nominated without an election. The members of .the Gas Workers' Union will elect two representatives of the men who produced the gas or byproducts, one representative of the yardmen and one of the service and maintenance men. Members of other unions employed at the gasworks will elect one representative of the engineers, engine drivers and bricklayers, one of the repair and maintenance men such as gas fitters and boilermakers, one of the clerical staff and one of the balance of the uinons not numericalv strong.
