[This book] is a study of continuity and change in the lives of skilled workers in Hamilton, Ontario, during a period of economic transformation. Bryan D. Palmer shows how the disruptive influence of devel oping industrial capitalism was counterbalanced by the stabilizing effect of the associational life of the workingman, ranging from the fraternal order and the mechanics' institute to the baseball diamond and the "rough music" of the charivari. On the basis of this social and cultural solidarity, Hamilton's craftsmen fought for and achieved a measure of autonomy on the shop-floor through the practice of workers' control. Working-class thought proved equally adaptable, moving away from the producer ideology and its manufacturer-mechanic alliance toward a recognition of class polarization. Making ample use of contemporary evidence in newspapers, labour journals, and unpublished correspondence, the author discusses such major developments in the class conflict as the nine-hour movement of 1872, the dramatic emergence of the Knights of Labor, and the beginnings of craft unionism after 1890. He finds that the concept of a labour aristocracy has litlle meaning in Hamilton, where skilled workers were the culling edge of the working-class movement, involved in issues which directly related to the experience of their less-skilled brethren. More remarkable than the final attainment of capitalist control of the work place, he concludes, are the long-continued resistance of the Hamilton workers and their success in retaining much of their power in the pre-World War I years. --Publisher's description

This study demonstrates the application of a test validation procedure similar to that described by Mobley and Ramsay (1973) but which avoids the use of factor analysis in isolating dimensions upon which subsequent job subgrouping is based. Instead, a semi-judgmental, semi-statistical method was employed. Actual test validation data are reported which, although missing in Mobley and Ramsay's (1973) article, attest to the utility of a job grouping approach to the validation problem.

This paper compares the attitudes to collective bargaining of a sample of Ontario and Wisconsin registered nurses.

The history of women in the labour force is by and large a neglected area of study, especially with regard to trade unionism. For British Columbia in the early years of this century, while there are various accounts of men's union struggles, there does not exist at present any published secondary material on the union activity of women. This article will attempt to give a preliminary account of the organization of some women workers in Vancouver during the period from 1900 to 1915. --Introduction
