Focuses on the labour turmoil in Vancouver in 1935, in particular the communist/leftist-led strikes of relief camp workers and especially of longshoremen. Examines the hostility toward the strikers of the Vancouver mayor (who coined the term "red menace"), media coverage, and the employer-side Citizen's League. Argues that studies show that the rhetoric of red menace was greatly exaggerated and did not correspond to the reality of the workers' demands.

In the first years of the twentieth century, British Columbia became the dynamic centre of the socialist movement which was emerging across Canada. Beginning in 1898 the institutional and doctrinal foundations of the provincial movement were laid by eastern Canadian, British and American socialists. Five years later a socialist party with an almost unique ideology and extraordinary power in the labour movement had emerged; nowhere were the socialists more doctrinaire or influential. The purpose of this essay is to examine the institutional and ideological development of British Columbia socialism during its critical formative years. --Introduction

Labour history is frequently equated with the internal workings of trade unions and radical parties in isolation from the society on which they are based. This paper treats these institutions as important, though not the sole expressions of working class activity. It discusses reactions to labour unrest and industrial conflict from within the working class, and from without, and the effect of these reactions on community relationships. This paper demonstrates how the relationship of the working class with the middle class changed from one of amity in 1903 to one of hostility in 1913, and that this came about in two ways: (1) through the changing relationships of the principle sub-groupings within the working class, organized labour, the immigrant communities, and the radical parties; and, (2) through changes in middle class attitudes brought about by reactions to this first development and by changes in the local economy. The primary catalyst for change was violence which occurred in four labour disputes during the period. In examining the source of violence and the means of its suppression, the paper will argue that while cultural conditioning influenced the actions and attitudes of those involved, the nature of their class relationships was the decisive factor.

In this paper, the authors discuss some of the policy alternatives available to a Government and a union movement and consider in detail the alternative chosen by one African country, Kenya. Moreover they examine how the Government has sought to reconcile its economic development objectives with granting unions such traditional freedoms as the right to strike, the right to bargain collectively and the right of free association. In doing so they discuss the development of labour legislation in Kenya and examine its effects upon the strike weapon as a source of union power and the effect of strikes on the Kenya economy. Finally they offer some speculations on futur trends of industrial relations in Kenya.

Les variables de la satisfaction à l'égard du travail et de la satisfaction à regard de la carrière sont souvent associées ensemble dans la constitution d'indices globaux de satisfaction. L'auteur démontre en se servant d'un groupe d'enseignants que ce procédé méthodologique doit être évité dans une recherche car les deux variables sont spécifiquement distinctes entre elles. En l'occurrence, la satisfaction à l'égard du travail— comme jugement général— se réfère au domaine de la décision de l'organisation du travail, et la satisfaction à l'égard de la carrière se réfère, elle, au désir d'avancement dans l'école.
