To understand the family economy of the working class in the period of early industrial capitalism it is necessary to go beyond a simple consideration of the sufficiency of wages, to put aside the equation of work with wage labour and to examine other ways in which survival could be enhanced. This paper begins an examination of non-wage-based survival strategies. It focuses on animal raising, gardening, the taking in of boarders and house sharing in mid- to late-nineteenth-century Montreal. These particular survival strategies can be ascertained to some extent from people's responses to the census taker. Analysis of their responses as found in the manuscript schedules of 1861 and 1871 constitutes the core of the paper. Professionals and proprietors were most likely to keep cows, the semi- and unskilled pigs. Pigs were outlawed in this period, while cows remained legal. Gardening, too, was largely eliminated on the narrow, densely built lots of the working class. The outlawing of pigs represents one of a complex of changes that, over the length of a generation, severely curtailed the proletariat's access to means of supplementing their wages and altered the contributions a wife and children could make to the family economy.

In March 1902, 3000 men were in St. John's prepared to go to the ice when rumours of lowered wages precipitated a major strike. The event produced minimal violence and delayed the fleet's sailing for only two days. Nevertheless, it was the only major sealing labour action in the era of the famous "wooden walls" and for the first time some limits were placed on the power of the Water Street merchant elite. Long-range causes involve many aspects of Newfoundland political, social, and economic organization; results included sealing safety legislation and encouragement of the foundation of William Coaker's Fisherman's Protective Union. The article discusses the background, evolution, and significance of the strike.

Trade unions were not criminal conspiracies in Canadian law prior to the passage of the Trade Unions Act. In a series of trials between 1854 and 1872 the Toronto criminal courts consistently failed to convict workers on evidence that would have warranted conviction had combinations to raise wages or lessen hours been considered to be criminal conspiracies. Analysis of the English case-law reveals a lack of judicial consensus that such combinations were criminal conspiracies, and in any event all such statements of law were merely obiter dicta. While such trade union purposes as raising wages could serve as evidence of combination, there was no criminal conspiracy in the absence of specific crimes.
