This article compares and contrasts the attempts by workers in Britain, France, Germany, the United States, and Canada to organize industrial unions at the beginning of the twentieth century. It starts with the premise that revolutionary industrial unionism was an international phenomenon, arising from similar socioeconomic conditions in the advanced capitalist countries, and that simultaneous movements to found "one big union" of all industrial workers should be seen in this light. The article proceeds to analyze the different views of industrial unionists on the subjects of dual unionism, organization and politics within an overall tendency in favour of one big unionism. It argues that syndicalism was only one faction active in the movement and that revolutionary industrial unionism was much broader in scope than syndicalism. The article further analyzes the social bases of the movement among unskilled workers and specific groups of skilled workers in the mass production industries. Finally, it points out the tactical originality of the movement and why its tactics posed a revolutionary challenge to capitalist control of the economy.

This paper traces the rise and fall in Ontario of the Workers Educational Association (WEA), a voluntary association whose main purpose was to organize inexpensive, non-credit night classes taught by university professors for the working class. The Association was an offshoot of the British WEA. ln Ontario the main impetus for establishing an Association in 1918 came from members of Toronto's intellectual elite. One of their aims was to teach labour people "responsible behaviour" at a time when the labour movement seemed to be gaining influence and becoming more radical. Working-class people within the WEA proved less malleable than the academics had hoped, and the Association soon became a workers' organization, largely controlled by some of its working-class members. It offered many liberal arts courses and, in the late 1930s and 1940s, developed innovative labour education and research programmes which proved of lasting benefit to the labour movement. Although continually threatened by the University of Toronto administration, the WEA failed in the 1950s because certain labour leaders, using Cold War tactics, opposed a labour educational institution that they could not control.

This article takes a historical event, which has made a strong impact on a working-class community, and shows how it has become part of the historical consciousness of that community, interpreted in accordance with its value system. The event is the death of two union organizers, Vilho Rosvall and John Voutilainen, in a Port Arthur lumber strike in 1929. The community is the national community of class-conscious Finnish working-class immigrants, organizationally connected by membership in the Finnish Organization of Canada, a left-wing cultural organization. The author reconstructs the event from available historical sources and proceeds to show how this community has viewed it, by reviewing both oral history records and published accounts in union papers and community publications. In looking for reasons why this event has remained significant for this particular community, both Old Country working-class traditions and the Canadian experience of Finnish pre-World War II immigrants has to be considered.
