In 1919, Canada, by virtue of its central role in the conduct of World War I, took its place as a member of the international community in the League of Nations and in the first representative body for world labour, the International Labour Organization. This thesis examines Canada's relations with the I.L.O. in the interwar period (1919-1940). It is hypothesized that Canada's role in the I.L.O. in this period reflected not the concerns and ideals of the organization per se, but rather the political and constitutional goals of the Dominion government. Consequently, social reform in Canada, as implied in the principles of the constitution of the I.L.O., was usually of secondary importance to the governments of Canada during this period, and especially to Canadian industry, which were often united in thwarting the efforts of Canadian labour and the I.L.O. to influence social reform in Canada. Indeed, both Canadian governments and industry, came to recognize in the constitutional issue a useful vehicle to slow down the pace of social reform during this period....

This essay attempts to place Canadian workers' 1919 militancy in a national and international context. Utilizing freshly compiled strike data and focusing on events outside of Winnipeg, the paper argues that the 1919 revolt was nation-wide and part of the international post-war revolutionary upsurge. The new prominence of women and immigrant workers, reflecting the drive for industrial unionism, is emphasized.

This paper examines women in the Canadian socialist movement to illuminate their role within the institutional life of the movement and to analyze the ideological dimensions of the "woman question" before 1914. Socialist adherence to the primacy of woman's role in the home and to the family wage ideal, as well as their ambivalence toward working women, and an undeveloped vision of woman's role under socialism — all served to reinforce a secondary role for women in socialist organizations. Suspicion of bourgeois women's organizations and of autonomous women's groups generally, hampered socialist women from assuming leadership roles with some notable exceptions. While socialist analysis pointed to the exploitation of women as both workers and wives and mothers, women's issues and organizations remained peripheral and subordinale to the main task of overthrowing capitalism.

This paper attempts to go beyond individual-level explanations of attitudes towards unions by exploring the impact of-community. It is argued that factors operating at the aggregate level of the community help shape local industrial relations.

La principale conclusion de cet article est qu'il existe un lien significatif entre le mode de rémunération et le risque d'accidents qui est interactif avec le poste de travail, la remuneration au rendement s'accompagnant d'un risque réduit chez les ébénistes et menuisiers et accru chez les manœuvres. De plus, chez ces derniers, le risque d'accidents est significativement plus élevé pour certains sièges spécifiques de lésion: la colonne lombaire, les poignets et les doigts.
