Although a great deal has been written about the western Canadian working class in the first two decades of the twentieth century, there is still a need to examine the nature of the labour-capital relations in a small prairie city like Saskatoon. Even though the Saskatoon working class lived and worked in an agricultural economy, it was far from being passive and conservative in ils relationship with the ruling class, especially in the period that led to the labour revolt of 1919. This relationship was based on class conflict, similar to what other workers were experiencing on a national and international basis. Class conflict was not restricted to the workpalce, for it also involved the working-class community when it came to matters of unemployment, living conditions. inflation, and the tragedies of war which enhanced the evils of capitalism. The Saskatoon working class issued both an economic and political response to prairie capitalism which included an astute understanding of the rules of the game and a form of radical politics which aimed at a transformation of society.

A correspondent of the Scottish American Journal, who visited the Albion Mines in Pictou County in 1880, could not help but be struck by a sharp division in the mine labour force: "The boys seem(ed) happy enough, and were bright little fellows from 11 to 15 years of age; the men were respectful and small in stature, but they appeared dull and phlegmatic by contrast with the younger generation". Unfortunately, colliery boys have not caught historians' attention as they did this Victorian correspondent's. While the relatively "dull and phlegmatic" older Nova Scotian miners have been the subject of an extensiveamount of recent historical research, the boys have been virtually ignored. --Introduction
