In particular, delegates wanted to know what stand each candidate for the federal leadership had on back-to- work legislation. The leadership contenders at the meeting were Ed Broadbent, the present parliamentary leader for the NDP, Lorne Nystrom, from Saskatchewan and a_ sitting member in the House of Commons, Douglas Campbell, a taxi driver from Toronto, and Barbara Beardsley, who spoke on behalf of the member of the B.C. legislature, Rosemary Brown, John Harney, who was late in arriving, missed most of the severe questioning. ' After their opening remarks in which the candidates outlined their general platforms, the floor was opened to questions. question, to all the candidates, came from Alex McLennen, a rep- - resentative of a Toronto-based local of the Public Service Alliance of Canada, who told the can- didates: by my local to ask what your position is on sending workers who are on a legal strike back to work by legislation.”’ Nystrom responded first and noted that “‘each case has to be treated separately and I would The first “T have been instructed , NDP federal leadership hopeful Ed Broadbent defends his vote in favor of forcing’ B.C. longshoremen back to work. trust the judgment of each of the provincial governments to take proper action.” He also said that ‘in principle, our party should not be legislating people back to work”’ but he added. ‘‘there may be oc- casions when we have to send striking workers back to work.” - Broadbent answered next and said: ‘‘We support the trade union movement, but at the same time, it would be both naive and irresponsible to suggest that there Inquiry to probe illegal rent hike A major precedent in landlord and tenant relations in B.C. may be set if provincial Inquiry Officer Len McArthur brings down a decision. to return $5,600 in illegal rents. at the Croatian Villa in Vancouver’s Kitsilano district. McArthur is the first Inquiry Officer to be appointed under the provisions of. the landlord and tenant act and the investigation into charges of illegal rent in- creases at the Villa is the first formal investigation into mass violations of the law. Organized by the British Columbia Tenants Organization into a tenants association, residents at Croatian Villa had been frustrated by the Ren- talsman’s office which refused to hear collective complaints or recognize the tenant association. BCTO president Bruce Yorke laid charges on .behalf of the tenants to the Rent Review Commission and received a more favorable response. Two _ in- vestigators, Chris Considine and Brian Ethredge were appointed to CUPE Cont'd from pg. 3 Overgaard of Victoria prompted comment in the daily press. For the first time terming Werlin a ‘“eading left wing spokesman’’ the Sun attempted to create the. illusion that the convention had purged CUPE’s left wing. ‘That isn’t so,’ Werlin told the Tribune “Mine was only Certainly I am disappointed, but the important thing is that the policies,- like the one for coor- dinated bargaining which I fought for, were adopted unanimously. CUPE is on the road to recovery from some errors in 1975 bargaining and will come out a better and stronger union. That is my main concern.’ one position. inquire into Yorke’s allegations. Following the investigation the Inquiry Officer was appointed, who has judicial powers to act on the complaint. Ironically, the Inquiry Officer, McArthur, is. a deputy rentalsman. | At the Inquiry hearing last Monday the Rent Review Com- mission investigators testified. that $5,600 in illegal rent increases was owing to tenants. The charge was uncontested by management: rep resentatives. —~ Harry Rankin acted on behalf of the tenants at the hearing at which Yorke was also present. McArthur has reserved judgment on the case, with a, decision expected soon CLASSIFIED ADVERTISING _ through Bill C-56.”’ Morris added | wouldn’t be some circumstance when it (the right to strike inter feres with the rights of others.” He then used the example of th B.C. grainhandlers, in which h “personally recommended to th caucus back-to-work legislation.’ And further he said, ‘‘You have t0 weigh-off the rights of the im dividual workers.” And finally h said, ‘It isn’t a pleasant decision, but sometimes you have to do it.’ Throughout his response to thi question, heckling could be hear’ from delegates on the floor of the council. Barbara Beardsley said that on that issue she couldn’t speak for Rosemary Brown. The question of back-to-work — legislation arose again in the question period and this time it was directed specifically to Broadbent. Tom Morris, a delegate from the Newspaper Guild, referred to the Hansard for March 24, when the — House of Commons “rammed | that the president of the longshore- men’s union had called the back-t0- work’ bill ‘‘the most repressive piece of legislation”’ that he had ever seen. “In view of that statement,” Morris asked, ‘‘do you think that your voting for that legislation was wrong or will this be the NDP policy under your leadership?” . Broadbent replied: ‘‘No, I do not think it was wrong. If the issue presented itself again, I would vote the same way.” Broadbent made no reference at all to the quote about ‘‘most repressive piece 0 legislation,” but did say that he “had discussed the matter of the NDP vote with the union local and with the leadership of the CLC and they understood our positio? fully.” He was careful, however, say ‘fully understood” and not say a word about ‘‘agreement.”’ Several times throughout Broad bent’s reply, he was hissed and at the end of his answer the only response he received could best be described as polite and brief aP plause. ee Beaver Transfer| * Moving * Packing * Storage 790 Powell St. | | Phone 254-3711] COMING EVENTS TWO NIGHTS OF FILMS AND ENTERTAINMENT, Unitarian Church, 49th and Oak, FRIDAY, JUNE 20, 8:00 p.m. 2 Hours of films — Dresden, in color; Dach- wig, Life in a Small German Town; Cottbus, German Han- - dicrafts; Documentaries.
