Deportation helped to relieve employers, municipalities, and the state from the burdens of poverty, unemployment, and political unrest, by getting rid of workers when they became useless, surplus, or obstreperous. But this is only half of the equation: apparently straightforward economic imperatives were also profoundly political. Agitators and radicals challenged a social and economic order (and a political system) that immigration policy served. Radicals were designated as undesirable not so much by legislation as by employer blacklists and complaints, the surveillance networks of the industrial and Dominion police, the militia, the RCMP, and United States intelligence, and a certain anti-labour tradition in immigration policy. Deportation preserved the status quo. Immigration officials at times lied to conceal their activities; they broke their own laws, and consistently abused their power, operating virtually outside the knowledge and control of Parliament, the courts, and the general public.

The first decades of the twentieth century saw some significant changes in the nature of office work. Large numbers of employees were added to the payroll, jobs were broken down into their component parts, and women were brought in to fill the lowest positions. Relatively little attention has been paid, however, as to how the introduction of these changes varied from industry to industry or from region to region. This study of the conditions of employment at the Banque d'Hochelaga indicates that bank workers, unlike other white-collar employees, were faced with the instability that came from being regularly moved from branch to branch, In other regards, the working conditions faced by the employees of the Hochelaga differed from those for the industry as a whole because of the recruitment of the Hochelaga's work force from a French-speaking labour market.

A study was conducted to examine personal and organizational factors that affect the rise to office of presidents of Canadian national unions. A model was developed based on the personal characteristics of the labor leaders and on the characteristics of the unions they headed. Completed questionnaires were received from 94 presidents of national unions. Results indicated that union size varied positively with ''time to become presidents.'' Thus, chief executives of large unions took 3.9 years longer to reach the top office than did chief executives of small unions. Also, education varied inversely with ''time to become president.'' An officer with a university degree took 5 years less to reach the presidency than someone with no formal education. Finally, ''percent of income from union office'' varied positively with ''time to become president.'' For example, when the union pays 100% of the salary, it takes about 3 1/2 years longer to reach the top office than when the union pays none of the salary.
