In March 1902, 3000 men were in St. John's prepared to go to the ice when rumours of lowered wages precipitated a major strike. The event produced minimal violence and delayed the fleet's sailing for only two days. Nevertheless, it was the only major sealing labour action in the era of the famous "wooden walls" and for the first time some limits were placed on the power of the Water Street merchant elite. Long-range causes involve many aspects of Newfoundland political, social, and economic organization; results included sealing safety legislation and encouragement of the foundation of William Coaker's Fisherman's Protective Union. The article discusses the background, evolution, and significance of the strike.

Trade unions were not criminal conspiracies in Canadian law prior to the passage of the Trade Unions Act. In a series of trials between 1854 and 1872 the Toronto criminal courts consistently failed to convict workers on evidence that would have warranted conviction had combinations to raise wages or lessen hours been considered to be criminal conspiracies. Analysis of the English case-law reveals a lack of judicial consensus that such combinations were criminal conspiracies, and in any event all such statements of law were merely obiter dicta. While such trade union purposes as raising wages could serve as evidence of combination, there was no criminal conspiracy in the absence of specific crimes.

This paper examines the role of Canadian immigration policies in the creation of an ethnically segmented working class in pre-Second World War British Columbia. Existing research on the British Columbian working class has documented the radical nature of (white) working class trade union and socialist organization, while at the same time identifying anti-Asian racism as a major feature of organized (white) working class activity in the province. The formation of an ethnically segmented working class occurred through a complex and reciprocal process of ethnic segmentation within the labour market and the political and ideological practices of the working class. In British Columbia, I argue, state immigration policies played a crucial role in this process by according Asian immigrants, in contrast to European and American immigrants, an inferior political status as "non-settlers' within Canada, reinforcing their marginal economic position within the labour market and placing Asian workers in a position of economic and political inferiority vis-a-vis other workers in the province. In this context, immigration policies became a focus of class conflict in British Columbia, and working class organization and consciousness developed in an ethnically segmented and racist form.
