Examines the racist Workingmen's Protective Association of Victoria, British Columbia, which in 1879 petitioned the federal government to sanction Chinese labour. Explores the international, national and local contexts that gave impetus to the WPA, the interconnected elements of race, status, gender, and class that comprised it, and the WPA's animus toward capitalist employers who hired imported Chinese workers. Concludes that although the WPA was short-lived, the resentment that fuelled it continued to grow in Western Canada, resulting in such notorious measures as the Chinese head tax of 1885 and the Chinese Immigration Act of 1923.

In industrialized economies, unemployment rates are inversely related to education levels. Data from 1963 to 1994 show that Israel is an anomaly exhibiting an inverted U-shaped relationship. Workers with 9-12 years of schooling consistently experienced a higher level of unemployment than the schooling groups with less and more education. Multivariate regression analysis of data for Israel during the 1976-1994 period indicates that this inverted U-shaped relationship is moderating. The national unemployment rate and a time trend variable had positive and significant effects tending to strengthen the inverted U-shaped relationship. However, an increase in the unemployment rate within the 0-8 education group relative to the 9-12 group and a decline in the labor force participation rate of the 0-8 group overrode these factors, resulting in a flattening of the inverse relationship. The major factor responsible for the anomaly in the education-unemployment relationship in Israel appears to be government policies intended to protect low-educated immigrants with large families. A reduction in government support over recent years seems to have increased the exposure of the least educated to labor market forces.

Wilson introduces "Something From Canada" by Augusti Bernhard Mäkelä, the Finnish Marxist journalist and publicist. Originally published in 1913, Mäkelä's article bluntly condemns the capitalist exploitation of BC workers (including immigrant labour) and the pillaging of BC's resources. Mäkelä arrived in Canada from Finland in 1901 when he was nearly 40. Apart from a sojourn in Finland from 1907-10, he lived in the Finnish communal settlement of Sointula on Malcolm Island, British Columbia, until his death in 1932.
