Title
Military Aid to the Civil Power: The Cape Breton Experience in the 1920's
Abstract
...In labour disputes, which accounted for almost half of the incidents in which military forces were used, the presence of troops may not have been viewed as a neutral, stabilizing force by other participants. If this was the case a reassessment is appropriate. With this consideration in mind, this paper will deal with three such incidents, all of which occurred in industrial Cape Breton in the 1920s. While they involved relatively large troop movements and were instrumental in effecting amendments to the Militia Act, they were not unrepresentative of labour disputes during the country's industrial development. --From introduction
