REQUESTS TO LABOUR COUNCIL. (BV TELEGRAPH “PRESS ASSOCIATION.) WELLINGTON, June 24. The District Labour Council last night received a deputation of unemployed from a meeting held in Abel Smith Street on Wednesday, and made these requests: (1) That they should be recognised as an unemployed organisation and an integral part of the labour movement allied with the district council; (2) they should have representation on the unemployed committee set up by the district council; (3) they should have free use of the Trades Hall for one night per week to hold meetings. The requests were turned down.

Bromley, secretary of the council, stated that, that body was not satisfied with the rates offered, hut did not approve of the alternative scheme.
