Title
Canadian Knights of Labor with Special Reference to the 1880’s
Abstract
Discusses the rise and decline of the Canadian Knights of Labor, including their economic ideas and political activities. Originating from the US, the Knights were established in the 1880s in Canada, where they rapidly became influential advocates of of labour reform (e.g., the 8-hour day). Concludes that their decline in the late1890s was precipitated by internal dissension and the lack of a clear program. The research is drawn mainly from contemporary newspaper accounts.
