Action Program the CCF slate in opposition to “trade union candidates. “There seems to be no limit to svhich the party of social de- mocracy will move to split and divide the working class,” De- lany asserted. “If the CCF runs a full slate, it will in all prob- ability be the means of assur- ing another Non-Partisan vic- tory. The fight of the Labor- Progressive Party for labor unity in the preceding two elec- tions plus the latest flagrant example of anti-unity policies will weaken the position of the CCF and swing thousands of ' their voters to the labor slate.’ From discussions at the _con- ference, plans were made _ to launch a strong LPP program for this city. Main issues around which the program will be built are: HOUSING. The establishment of emergency housing, taking over of the old Hotel Vancouver, complete construction of the 1200 homes planned for veterans, con- version of the Horse Show building, the survey of existing facilities, and the halting of evic- tions. : JOBS. Delany pointed out that the problem of providing jobs is not to. be separated from pub- lic works and civic improvements. He called for an extensive civic works program including (a) improvement of roads (b) exten- sion of school building program, with emphasis on those in work- ing class districts (¢) erection of the Civic Center in the proposed city center site \(d) implementa- tion of the $600,000 parks by-law (e€) erection of a fog-free airport (f£) extension of library facilities “(g) extension of street lighting facilities. : CITY PLANNING.

Delegates Frank Carlisle and Tom Dunlop also pointed out reasons for declining nomination and endorsed. Gervin as labor’s candidate. Gervin rapped delegates ‘ for stating that there was anything “fishy or underhanded” about the re-nomination of candidates on the labor slate. He signified his willingness to stand down and permit any person whom the council was prepared to nomin- ate to run in his place. He point- ed out, however, that he was pre- pared to stand as a candidate in view of publicity that had al- ready gone out, and urged can- didates to strongly support la- bor’s campaign in the coming elections. The acceptance of Gervin as Trades Council candidate round- ed out again the slate of four la- bor candidates who will contest the civie elections, and cleared up any doubts as to his status as a labor candidate.
