Presents a history and personal memoir of the experiences of secular Jewish radicals in Canada in the early decades of the 20th century.

[This article is a] Tribute to, and assessment of, the first 49 issues of Labour/Le Travail concentrates on both the tone and the substance of the journal. The seven sections of the article discuss matters ranging from art and design, to the rich poetry long included in its pages, to the ability to publish articles that are at once politically informed and academically rigorous. The evolution of the wide-ranging and exemplary book review section and the long standing attention of L/LT to racial and gender divisions among working people receive attention, as does a brief comparison of the trajectory of L/LT with that of Labor History in the United States. A final section considers the necessity for free wheeling debate among labour historians, particularly over the question of class and the place of Marxism in our work.

Between 1975 and 1997, school teacher bargaining was conducted under the School Boards and Teachers Collective Negotiations Act (Bill 100). By most accounts, the teacher bargaining law was successful in promoting bilateral settlements with minimal strike activity. Following its election in 1995, the Harris government reduced public expenditures and introduced educational reforms. This study finds that the government's blunt and heavy-handed efforts to control collective bargaining processes and outcomes, not only proved futile, but led to an increase in work stoppages and protracted guerilla warfare at the school board level.

The execution in 1953 of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg after being convicted on charges of spying for the Soviet Union was one of the most controversial, sensational events of the Cold War. The paper argues that the question of the Rosenbergs' guilt remains unresolved. In particular, the so-called Venona intercepts, which appeared to close the case against the Rosenbergs, deserve much greater critical scrutiny. The intercepts were messages from KGB agents on Soviet espionage in the US in the 1940s that were decoded, decrypted and translated by the National Security Agency; the NSA published the intercepts in 1995.
