As a permanent population established itself on the island of Newfoundland in the 19th century, the various sectors of society jostled each other for a share of control over their society. In the Conception Bay outports of Harbour Grace and Carbonear the social divisions and alliances which spawned an active culture of resistance formed around ethno-religious groups, political affiliation, and social class. The first part of this paper will recount a number of diverse collective plebeian acts and look at the natives and loyalties connected with each. Part two deals with election violence with which the population used informal means to affect change in a formal theatre. Section three is devoted to the largest plebeian disturbance of the decade; the 1832 sealers' strike. Here fishermen overcame their various social biases to work in class ways for their common good.

July 27, 1918. Heavy heat burned down on the small mining town of Cumberland on Vancouver Island. In the nearby wildernes of Comox Lake, a special police constable broke through the bush to come shockingly face to face with a stranger. A slight, red-haired man stood holding a rifle. This was the fugitive they sought, considered subversive and dangerous. With no time to aim, the constable shot as he raised his own weapon. This is the "official" version of the events of that day. The life of Albert "Ginger" Goodwin, one of British Columbia's most colourful figures, had come to a controversial end. [This book] is the story of a remarkable man, and a fascinating period in BC history. Arriving on Vancouver Island in 1910, Ginger Goodwin joined hundreds of others slaving in the hellholes of the Cumberland Mines. There he found blacklung, explosions, and deadly vapours; hazards which killed hundreds of miners in a short century of coal mining. What he saw made him one of the most effective labour leaders the province has ever seen, and led ultimately to his untimely end. Susan Mayse combines the skills of the historian and novelist in this gripping biography. From fragments of recorded history, official documents, and exhaustive interviews with the coal miners who knew Cumberland and knew Ginger Goodwin, she has pieced together an extraordinary tale. --Publisher's desscription

As the Canadian and international record will testify, the years between 1917-1920 were critically important to workers' aspirations for industrial unionism. An account of the Newfoundland Industrial Workers' Association (NIWA) has largely been passed over in the writing of the Island's labour history. Yet this organization figures prominently in the events which helped to shape the labour-capital relationship during the wartime period. In the Newfoundland context, the effective use of the strike weapon during this period is a telling indicator of the heightened sense of militancy resulting from the temporary convergence of labour organizations around issues relating to the war. Centred in St. John's. but exerting an Island-wide presence, the NIWA arose Out of a pressing need for Newfoundlanders to address the economic and political exigencies of World War I. This article examines the NIWA in terms of its structure, membership, and mandate for change with specific reference to the major confrontation waged between the NIWA and their principal opponent, the Reid Newfoundland Company in the spring of 1918.
