The 1919 sedition and deportation ammendments in Canada were not merely the product of anti-radical hysteria induced by the Winnipeg General Strike, but were consistent with the ideological propensity of the Conservative-Unionist and Bennett governments to suppress alien and left-wing dissent. This tendency was reflected in earlier, anti-radical enactments by Borden's government under the War Measures Act, providing, among other things, for the summary internment and deportation of suspected alien radicals. For the most part the stringent measures passed in 1919 represented the conversion of wartime powers to peace-time legislation. The conservative ideology that inspired these amendments was manifested in the vigorous application of deportation powers by immigration and other officials during the Red Scare of 1919-20 and the depression of the early thirties. It was further sustained by the stubborn refusal of the Conservative majority in the Senate to approve repeal legislation repeatedly passed by the House of Commons, even in the context of domestic stability in the 1920s. Ultimately, conservative reaction was superseded by liberalism in the form of civil liberties legislation passed by Mackenzie King's government. The emergence of the repeal of Section 98 of the Criminal Code as a major issue in the 1935 Dominion election and Bennett's corresponding defeat had demonstrated the Canadian public's desire that its governments address themselves, not to the suppression of radicalism, but to the solution of economic problems underpinning social unrest.

Continuity implies the existence of certain basic facts which must be faced when we think in terms of change because change in the area of labour-management relations cannot be effected in a vacuum. And the basic fact is that labour-management relations are human relations, that basic to the conduct of labour relations and the avoidance of industrial disputes is an appreciation of underlying human factors.

C'est au cours des années 1880 que le problème de l'industrialisation s'est posé dans toute son ampleur au Canada et au Québec. À l'approche des élections de 1887, le gouvernement conservateur de J.A. Macdonald crut trouver une solution en instituant une commission royale chargée d'enquêter sur «les relations entre le capital et le travail». Les commissionaires ne se doutaient pas qu'ils s'attaquaient à un au-dessus de leur force. Au terme de leur travaux, ils rédigèrent deux maigre rapports sans grande inspiration et n'offrant aucune vision d'ensemble cohérente. Pourtant la «Commission du travail» présente un intérêt tout à fait exceptionnel. Les procès-verbaux des témoinages recueillis par les commissionaires constitutent sans doute le plus important document oral qui nous soit parvenu sur la condition ouvrière au moment où le Québec entre dans la revolution industrielle. La société québécoise connait alors une véritable mutation qui se manifeste tant au niveau de la technique et de l'économie qu'à celui de la organisation sociale et de la culture. Fernand Harvey analyse ici les diverses composantes de cette mutation en s'appuyant sur une étude fouillée les travaux de la Commission du travail et les conditions générales de l'époche. --Description de l'éditeur

While realizing the necessity of being aware of the work of others, in order to get a reasonably adequate view of the events of May 1918 in Winnipeg, it has been necessary to make extensive use of primary sources, contemporary newspapers, interviews, and archival material. Wherever possible the information closest to the source has been used. Contemporary newspapers have been particularly valuable primary sources because they tended to report in depth about meetings, speeches, agreements, and announcements. Fortunately, by making comparisons with official documents, now available, it has been possible to verify that in general, newspaper reports were reasonably accurate. Except for the Telegram, most newspapers kept their news gathering function quite sharply separated from their editorial function. Interviews have been conducted with the realization that elderly people do not always remember the past as it really was. Their perceptions are, nevertheless, interesting...
