Party tomark inauguration

WASHINGTON (CP) — The man
the Democrats tried to laugh out of
the White House moves in this week.

A_.$25-million, five-day house-
warming party will mark Friday's in-
auguration of George Bush as the
41st president of the United States.

The rich, famous and powerful will
gather to toast the new. Republican
president at an inauguration-eve
gala. Celebrations will continue with
a! Texas-style Black Tie and Boots
Ball, the hottest ticket in town be:
cause of Bush's connections to the
Lone Star State

Bush's soft spot for country-and
western music has put Loretta Lynn,
Crystal Gayle and the Oak Ridge
Boys in the lineup for Thursday
night's nationally-televised presideh-
tial tribute

The $25-million inaugural show,
the costliest in U.S. history, begins
today and culminates Sunday with a
prayer service at Washingtgn's Na.
tional Cathedral

The formal balls, concerts, mar.
ching bands and fireworks promise a
brief respite from the problems of
drugs, violence, homelessness and a
scandal-tainted city _admnistration
that have dominated the Washington

Unlike in Canada; where each new
prime’ minister and his binet,
chosen amid secrecy, are sworn in at
a quiet ceremony at Government
House in Ottawa, a presidential in-
auguration is a televised extravag-
anza where style triumphs over sub-
stance

LACKS MYSTERY

There's little mystery. over fienew
administration, as Bush's choice of
advisers and cabinet members has
been known for weeks.

The suspense -is over Barbara
Bush's inaugural-wardrobe, Will she
stick to het trademark  three-string
strand of fake pearls? ~,

Not surprisingly, Democratic pre
sidential challenger Michael Dukakis

Postal workers vote

OTTAWA (CP) — About 40,000
postal workers haye voted to be rep-
resented by the Canadian Union of
Postal Workers, a militant union
headed by Jean-Claude Parrot

In a vote tabulated late Tuesday,
postal_workers chose Parrot’s union
over the more moderate Letter Car-
riers’ Union of Canada headed by
Bob McGarry

The result was~20,281 votes~ for
CUPW and 19,380 for the letter car-
riers’ union. CUPW won about 51.1
per cent of the votes.

The new union, yet to be named,
will represent about 75 per cent of
Canada Post's 60,000 workers

The 23,000 members of CUPW and
21,000 members of the letter car-
riers’ union voted in a eight-week
mail-in campaign that closed Friday

The two unions =~ and two smaller
bargaining units representing about
1,600 technicians and electrical work-
ers — were ordered last year by the
Canada Labor Relations Board to,
form one union after Canada Post
sought a merger to streamline-oper-
ations and reduce the number of con-
tracts it must negotiate.

FELL THROUGH

A merger that would have made
the winner president and the loser
vice-president of an amalgamated
union fell through in November amid
squabbling over details.

It was the highest vote of its kind
since the labor board was created
more than 40 years ago. Counting
was done by 1S five-rhember teams
comprised of two board representa
tives, members from the two unions

and Canada Post.

Parrot and McGarry started their
postal careers in 1954 and both have
said they would return to the ranks if
they lost

Parrot, \52, has more than two
years-to-go- before reaching retire
ment at 55. "McGarry, 54, has a year
to put in

Five of six major postal strikes in
the last 15 years have been by CUPW
and its inside workers

McGarry had said his union at
tracted support from CUPW.mem-
bers, particularly in small towns
where workers feel public wrath most
keenly during postal walkouts

For its part, CUPW had said its
membership held solid and its super-
ior job security lured votes from the
letter carriers’ union

Confrontation expected

VANCOUVER .(CP) — Two top
officers of the Industrial Relations
Council say there is a strong chance
of serious confrontation when 45,000
health-care workers go-into contract
talks this year.

Bud Gallagher, chairman of the
council's industrial relations adjudi
cation division, said the health care
industry itself is predicting a serious ;
confrontation.

And Darwin Benson, chairman of
the disputes resolution division, said
he and Gallagher are “‘gearing up for
the big bargaining that's coming up
with the nurses

“Wher you took at what happened
in Calgary with the nurses’ strike, I
don't think we're too far off having
one here,"’ Benson said

In Alberta, 11,400_unionized -nur-
ses stayed off the job for 19 days in
an illegal strike last January and
faced hefty fines as a result

Gordon Austin, president of the
172 member employer group, the
Health Labor Relations Association,
said it. is premature to say how
Wegotiations will progtess

“The potential is there for settle

ments,". said Austin ‘‘Nobody really _

wants a strike in health care.””

Moré than 45.000 health-care
workers in five unions — the B.C
Nurses’ Union, the Hospital Employ
ees Union, Health Sciences Associ
ation, the B.C Government Em

ployees Union and the’ Canadian

Union of Public Employees — have

contracts expiring March 31
‘BEATING DRUM’

The Industrial Relations Council
officers who made the comments to
members of the industrial Relations
Management Association appeared
to be “‘beating their own drum,"’ said
Pat Savage, president of the nurses’
union

“If they keep talking like that, it’s
like a self-futfilting prophecy.”

But Savage said B.C.'s 17,000
nurses do have some serious de
mands that must be met

‘At this point, nurses are fed up
and they're angry,’ she said

We've had issues of understaffing
and the stress of the job (and) no
input into decisions that govern the
kind of care that we give, and nurses
want these concerns addressed

“If the government is not prepared
to address them, (striking) is an
option for us to look at."”

Benson said the government cre
ated a problem for the Industrial
Relations Council when it hired a
private mediator while it was nego-
tiating a contract with its employees
last _year.

Drifter kills
children in
schoolyard

STOCKTON, CALIF, (AP) — A
young drifter wearing combat fati
gues and earplugs ‘‘who did not look
like he was really angry” sprayed
bullets from a semi-automatic rifle
into a schoolyard full of children,
killing five and wounding 30 before
committing suicide

Patrick Edward Purdy, 26, killed
himself with a bullet to the head after
firing-about 60 rounds from an~as-
sault rifle on Tuesday. He shot at
hundreds of youngsters enjoying re
cess at Cleveland Elementary School
The five dead were children of
refugees from Southeast Asia

There was no apparent motive for
the killings.

Purdy had an extensive criminal
record, said deputy police chief
Lurian Neely. Many of the crimes
were committed in the Los Angeles
area and included soliciting for sex
and narcotics and weapons viola-
tions, Neely said.

Purdy began his assault shortly
before noon, when he parked his
station wagon behind the school, The
car burst into flames in a fire pos
sibly set as a diversion, said Neely

Then the S-foot-11, 140-pound kill
er, clad in camouflaged combat fat
igues, a flak jacket and earplugs,
entered the campus through a hole in
a fence with the semi-automatic and
two handguns

He walked to several portable
classrooms about 250 metres from
the main=—-E-shaped™ building. He
fired from the west side of the: por-
table buildings, then moved to the
east Side and continued spraying the
screaming children before turning
the rifle on himself.

WALLS PIERCED

In some cases, the bullets went
through the wood and stucco walls of
the main building and came out the
other side to land on the front lawn,
Neely said

“He was just standing there with a
gun, making wide sweeps,”* said Lori
Mackey, who teaches deaf students
in one of thé portable classrooms at
the school about 130 kilometres
southeast of San Francisco

“He was not talking, he was-not
yelling, he was very straight faced, it
did not—look like -he—was really
angry,”’ she said. “It
matter-of-factly. There was
chaos. There were kids running jin
every direction.”’

As police cleaned up; the garbage
a large handgun and the assault rifle
were seen lying on the. ground near a
pool of blood. Written on the pistol’s
handle was the word. Victory. The
letters SSA were printed on the
rifle’s clip in letters 3.5 centimetres
long
