from a special correspondent

The Fire Brigaies Union, meeting in Bournemouth last week, reyersed its policy on the Government's imcome policy, By 14,128 votes to 14,338, the annual conference referred back a document which stated that the executive had "serious reservations" when voting in favour of the report by the T.0.C, General Council on productivity, prices and incomes.

Mir. Berry Stuart, of Devon, moved the reference back, saying that the policy meant wage restraint. It would be dishonest and hypocritical, he added, to pay lip service to a policy of 34% annual limit on wage increases and say at the same time it did not apply to them. Mr. H. Burgess, of Liverpool, said, "Ye believe that we, as local government workers, will be prone to easy control by the Government on the question of wage increases."
