MacLeod, Labor--Progressive mem-- ber for Bellwoods. Mr. MacLeod, who was address-- ing the annual convention of the Ontario -- Labor--Progressive Party, + sai¢ he intended to try to persuade Opposition Leader E. B. Jolliffe and Liberal Leader Mitchell F. Hep-- {burn to lead the Opposition mem-- 'bers to the doors of the locked Echamber at 3 o'clock Tuesday. | The purpose of this gathering would _ not be "to stage a coup d'etat and seize the Government," he said. _ Stating that the resump-- tion on Tuesday had been agreed 'upon by all members, he felt that his appearance by Opposition mem-- bers outside the Chamber would be "a dramatic way of demonstrat-- ing their anger at Premier Drew disregarding the majority." Urge Agreement A resolution proposing that the [LP.P. strive to reach an electoral |agreement with the C.CF. and Lib-- erals in the coming Provincial election, so that only one Opposi-- tion candidate would run in each iconstiluenc*y against the Progres-- 'live Conservative candidate, was i'uhanimously adopted. |_In the event of an electoral agree-- ment between the three opposition lparties not being reached, it was resolved that the L.P.P. would enter §at least 23 candidates in the com-- iing Provincial election. | _ Leslie Morris, Ontario L.P.P. |leader, stressed that a labor--liberal !coalirion was the only way in which ianother Progressive Conservative |Government could be kept out of !office. He criticized the CCF. group in the Legislature for their "bank-- |rupt policy'" of attacking both Lib-- 'erals and Progressive Conserva-- | tives. |_"Far from making sneering re-- | marks, we welcome the accession 'of Mitchell Hepburn back to the leadership of the Liberal Party in !Ontario as a hopeful sign, a sign of |progress," Mr. Morris said. ' SJ\mong the chief planks in the party's electoral program endorsed [were: an Ontario labor code pro-- 7 |viding compulsory collective bar-- |gaining and union security; a farm |policy to assure security of farm \tenure and provide for better mar-- keting facilities; large--scale public 'work programs; the gradual as-- sumption by the Province of all educational costs; the immediate assumption of all relief costs, and higher levels of social legislation; and Ontario Housing Act to sup-- plement the National Housing Act; constitutional reforms to permit na-- tional health insurance, a national minimum wage and an eight--hour working day.
