Postwar industrial action in Halifax culminated in the strike of the Marine Trades and Labor Federation against the Halifax Shipyards Limited. Increased strike activity was accompanied by and enhanced labor's formal political aspirations as expressed in the rejuvenation of the Halifax Labor Party. This article explores the economic and political events leading up to the summer of 1920, when the Halifax Shipyard Strike and a Nova Scotia provincial election brought local events to a climax. Laborism, the broad political philosophy uniting labor activists in postwar Halifax, initially appeared to offer the ideal medium through which political and economic questions could be filtered and processed. But as laborites attempted to apply their philosophy to concrete situations, they exposed its inherent contradictions. The strike clarified their ideas while it revealed their weakness, and promoted the eventual fragmentation of the Halifax labor movement.

In linking the discontinuities in the development of industrial relations theory in Canada with succeeding historical phases in the evolution of Canadian industrial relations, this article argues that an understanding of industrial relations theory must be historically grounded. It identifies four phases of theoretical development and suggests that the hold of Systems theory on the discipline should be understood as the product of a specific historical period which is now giving way to the emergence of new approaches.

The industrialization of the fisheries of British Columbia began in the second half of the nineteenth century, with the canning of salmon for export to Great Britain. Since fish was an essential staple in the diet of the native peoples living in the pacific northwest, its capture and processing was a vital part of their economic activity. Salmon canners sought a factory labour force at the cheapest possible wage. To the extent that native peoples continued to meet subsistence needs, at least partially, through the native economy, when employed for wages they did not have to be paid the full costs of the production and reproduction of their labour power. Of all the groups employed, native women and their children received the lowest wages and least secure conditions of employment. The paper explores the use of race and gender by salmon canners as a means of creating a labour force and paying it the lowest wages possible, according to the ability of each group to partially realize subsistence needs through pre-capitalist relations of production. Special attention is given to the place of native women in this process.
