This paper reconstructs the origins and activities of the Canadian Labour Defense League (CLDL) and assesses its role during a turbulent period in Canadian history. Led by Albert Edward Smith, a former Methodist minister, the CLDL rose to prominence during the worst years of the depression, promoting communist policies, agitating on behalf of the Communist Party of Canada and defending before the courts over 6,000 individuals who had ventured astray of the law because of their militant activities. The CLDL was especially effective after the arrest and conviction of Tim Buck and seven other communist leaders in 1931 under the controversial Section 98 of the Criminal Code. Skillfully intertwining communism with the defense of civil liberties in Canada, the CLDL launched a series of protest campaigns which not only brought to the organization a substantial following, but also had a significant impact on the political authorities in the nation.

This article examines some of the structural and cultural dimensions of capital-labour relations in seventeenth- and eighteenth-century America. It situates the lives of labouring people within an expansive transatlantic economy and a labour-scarce colonial economy, a combination that created both a heavy dependence upon unfree labour and persistent struggles over the mobility of workers. The article explores the major types of labour in early America — hunting, craft, domestic, free wage, free farming, indentured servant, and slave — and argues that a general culture of labour was emerging from the converging experiences of working men and women. The conclusion suggests that the pervasive experience of unfree labour in early America is intertwined with America's long history of ferocious conflict at the point of production.
