Publishes an address given by Tester at the Labour Panel of the Canadian Oral History Association, University of Ottawa, June 8-10, 1982. Discusses the value of oral labour history (he had in recent years collected 75 hours of tapes in 50 interviews) and the labour-industrial archives founded at Laurentian University. Argues that the Mine, Mill and Smelters union was locally controlled, unlike the Steelworkers, and that there was no Communist representation in the Sudbury leadership. (Note: Jim Tester (1913-1995) was a longtime Mine, Mill union member who was also prominent in the Sudbury labour movement.]
