The tavern is one of the most overlooked features of the nineteenth-century urban landscape. This article examines the career of one Montreal tavern keeper to illustrate the intricate connections between drink and working-class culture along the Montreal waterfront. Recreation, social services, and labour activities all relied upon the tavern as a working-class stronghold. By the late 1880s, however, the role of the tavern diminished with changes in the harbour's casual labour market and with the successes of the temperance and urban reform movements. This decline influenced the nature of working-class response to industrial capitalism.

De plus en plus de colloques et conférences sont convoqués, dans les milieux intéressés aux relations de travail, sur l'organisa-tion du travail ; loin de clarifier cette notion cependant, tous ces discours semblent contribuer à l'obscurcir. Le mouvement syndical paraît tiraillé entre deux perceptions. À certains moments on ra-mènera à l'organisation du travail absolument tout ce qui se passe a partir de et entre les quatre murs de l'entreprise : la technologie mais aussi les horaires de travail, la division du travail mais aussi les grilles salariales, toutes ces réalités entraînant pêle-mêle sur leur passage cogestion, santé au travail et discrimination à l'endroit des femmes, le négociable et le rarement négocié. A d'autres moments, on associera plutôt ce concept fourre-tout à l'intérêt très particulier que lui porte le patronat et qui fait référence à tous les raffinements et grossièretés de l'organisation scientifique du travail, de la socio-technique et des divers programmes de qualité de vie au travail. .... --Introduction

This thesis is the study of class relations within a dependent capitalist environment. Upon defining the conceptual and geographical basis for this study, an explanatory framework is advanced which borrows from C.B. Macpherson and the work of numerous theorists of the dependency school. A detailed historical analysis of the external structures of domination, the corporation and the trade union, the internal dynamics of social change, and the dominated class of the petite bourgeoisie and the working class, is offered. In the process of our analysis, an alternate interpretation for the rise of Social Credit in Quebec during the 1960s is offered.
