Brief Encounters: Italian Immigrant Workers and the CPR 1900-30 - Ramirez, Bruno (Labour / Le Travail, 1986)
From 1900 to 1930, thousands of Italian immigrants found employment in the CPR work sites throughout the Montreal metropolitan area. After analyzing the most significant socio-economic traits of that labour force, the article investigates some of the major patterns of that employment experience in the context of Montreal's evolving labour market, as well as in relationship with the Italian immigration in Montreal. The study brings out the unstable and volatile relationship of most Italian workers with the CPR — a result of both the workers' own strategy in the urban labour market, and the extremely limited possibilities for occupational advancement the company offered.

Shovelling Out the "Mutinous:" Political Deportation from Canada Before 1936 - Roberts, Barbara (Labour / Le Travail, 1986)
Deportation helped to relieve employers, municipalities, and the state from the burdens of poverty, unemployment, and political unrest, by getting rid of workers when they became useless, surplus, or obstreperous. But this is only half of the equation: apparently straightforward economic imperatives were also profoundly political. Agitators and radicals challenged a social and economic order (and a political system) that immigration policy served. Radicals were designated as undesirable not so much by legislation as by employer blacklists and complaints, the surveillance networks of the industrial and Dominion police, the militia, the RCMP, and United States intelligence, and a certain anti-labour tradition in immigration policy. Deportation preserved the status quo. Immigration officials at times lied to conceal their activities; they broke their own laws, and consistently abused their power, operating virtually outside the knowledge and control of Parliament, the courts, and the general public.

Bankers' Hours: Life Behind the Wicket at the Banque d' Hochelaga, 1901-21 - Rudin, Ronald (Labour / Le Travail, 1986)
The first decades of the twentieth century saw some significant changes in the nature of office work. Large numbers of employees were added to the payroll, jobs were broken down into their component parts, and women were brought in to fill the lowest positions. Relatively little attention has been paid, however, as to how the introduction of these changes varied from industry to industry or from region to region. This study of the conditions of employment at the Banque d'Hochelaga indicates that bank workers, unlike other white-collar employees, were faced with the instability that came from being regularly moved from branch to branch, In other regards, the working conditions faced by the employees of the Hochelaga differed from those for the industry as a whole because of the recruitment of the Hochelaga's work force from a French-speaking labour market.

Canadian National Union Presidents: An Empirical Study - Solomon, Norman S.; Andiappan, Palaniappan; Shand, Dan (Relations industrielles / Industrial Relations, 1986)
A study was conducted to examine personal and organizational factors that affect the rise to office of presidents of Canadian national unions. A model was developed based on the personal characteristics of the labor leaders and on the characteristics of the unions they headed. Completed questionnaires were received from 94 presidents of national unions. Results indicated that union size varied positively with ''time to become presidents.'' Thus, chief executives of large unions took 3.9 years longer to reach the top office than did chief executives of small unions. Also, education varied inversely with ''time to become president.'' An officer with a university degree took 5 years less to reach the presidency than someone with no formal education. Finally, ''percent of income from union office'' varied positively with ''time to become president.'' For example, when the union pays 100% of the salary, it takes about 3 1/2 years longer to reach the top office than when the union pays none of the salary.

Conflicting Visions, Divergent Strategies: Watson Thomson and the Cold War Politics of Adult Education in Saskatchewan, 1944-6 - Welton, Michael R. (Labour / Le Travail, 1986)
Using Watson Thomson's adult educational work with Tommy Douglas' CCF from late 1944 to early 1946 as an anchor point, this paper has several goals. First, to explicate Thomson's transformative-communitarian socialist vision and thereby confront the inadequacies of the communist-social democratic framing of the history of the Canadian left; second, to illuminate the tensions on the left at an axial moment in its history; third, to examine the specific failings of the social democratic imagination and political will; finally, to insert Watson Thomson into the social history of adult education and western Canadian radicalism.

Official Repression of Communism During World War II - Whitaker, Reginald (Labour / Le Travail, 1986)
During World War II the Canadian state, under the authority of the War Measures Act, exercised extraordinary powers of repression against political activity and expression considered "subversive" of the war effort. These powers included press censorship, internment without trial, and the outlawing of associations. From 1939 through 1941 a prime target of repression was Communism, with serious ramifications for trade union activities and political life in Canada. The reluctance to lessen this repression after the wartime alliance with the Soviet Union came into effect calls into question conventional wisdom concerning the strength of Popular l-'ront enthusiasm during this period.

International Trade Unionism: The United Mine Workers in Eastern Canada, 1900-1920 - Williams, Brian C. (Relations Industrielles / Industrial Relations, 1986)
The Provincial Workmen's Association (PWA) in Canada was a successful labor organization for much of its existence. However, it began to lose member support when it was unable to effectively advance the miners' interest in the face of the changing character of the Nova Scotia coal industry. As an alternative, the United Mine Workers (UMW) proposed methods of collective agreement negotiating and business unionism instead of methods of political representations and legislative enactment. The active and growing efforts of the UMW split worker support between the UMW and the PWA, but neither organization was able to firmly organize the industry. After years of conflict, both organizations participated in moves to unite. The efforts resulted in a reestablished District 26 of the UMW. In the end, the workers endorsed the philosophy and the methods of trade unionism.

The Return to Capital in the British Motor Vehicle Industry, 1896–1939 - Lewchuk, Wayne (Business History, 1985)
The objective of this paper is to examine the financial history of the British motor vehicle industry betweem 1896 and 1939. The study is based on data collected from 38 firms which issued shares publicly or were required to publish balance sheets. These firms represent the majority of British firms engaged in the quantity production of motor vehicles. ...Our interest in the industry's financial history, and in particular, the return to capital of firms using British production techniques was stimulated by the long standing argument that since 1870 British levels of productivity have lagged behind others countries, particularly the United States. –Introduction

Les Catégories socio-professionnelles : une nouvelle grille de classement - Bouchard, Gérard; Pouyez, Christian (Labour / Le Travail, 1985)
Introduces a new classification grid of socio-professional categories developed by the interuniversity group based at the University of Quebec at Chicoutimi. The multidisciplinary team aims to create a digitized population register for the regions and subregions of northeastern Quebec from 1800 to the present. The database will include economic, social, cultural, demographic, genetic, and health information. The next step is hierarchization, which consists of classifying the categories on the basis of criteria such as property, wealth, power, lifestyle, prestige, and education. While it will not result in an understanding of social classes as such or the fundamental, structured relationships that perpetuate them, it will shed light, at a first level, on the concrete modalities of the division of labour as well as, at a second level, on the distribution of the attributes that are linked to labour. This approach is therefore preliminary, or at least complementary, to more theoretical discourses on classes and the deep structures in which they are rooted.

Les accidents industriels au Canada : le portrait d'une décennie - Brody, Bernard; Rohan, Paul; Rompré, Louise (Relations Industrielles / Industrial Relations, 1985)
Dans la décennie 1971-1980, les accidents industriels au Canada ont connu une très forte croissance. Pareillement, les couts totaux (directs et indirects) ont fait un bond prodigieux: ils ont quadruple en dollars courants et double en dollars constants. Ceci, en dépit du mouvement populaire de conscientisation en matière de sante et de sécurité du travail et des efforts déployés par les autorités compétentes pour contrer le phénomène envahissant des accidents professionnels.

Historical Variations in the Impact of Union Density on Strike Frequency : Some U.K. Evidence - Cameron, Samuel (Relations Industrielles / Industrial Relations, 1985)
Considerable debate exists on the influence of fluctuations in union membership on strike frequency. On a theoretical level it is possible to advance a number of arguments about the sign and meaning of the regression coefficient on union membership in a strike function (see Kaufman (1982)) so the issue remains primarily an empirical one. This paper attempts to shed some new light on the empirical issue using U.K. evidence.

Socialism, Internationalism, and the Australian Labour Movement - Farrell, Frank (Labour / Le Travail, 1985)
Examines the labour movement in Australia with an emphasis on its political arm, the Australian Labor Party, from the late 19th century to the 1980s. Discusses the impact of national populism, which resulted in the notorious White Australia policy, with socialist and communist currents having only limited political influence. Internationalism in the aftermath of the Second World War was similarly constricted, with the Cold War having a polarizing effect on the labour movement and the ALP. Concludes that the current Labor government of R.J. Hawkes, a former labour leader, is in keeping with the traditions of the party's political leadership since it first came to power at the national level prior to World War I.

The Rise and Fall of the Labour Party in Alberta, 1917-42 - Finkel, Alvin (Labour / Le Travail, 1985)
While Alberta is generally regarded as a conservative province, its early labour movement was class conscious and, for many years had a significant political impact provincially and in many municipalities. The Labour Party, which united trade unions and socialists of every stripe (until its expulsion of the Communists in 1929) reflected the determined independence of Alberta workers: its leaders and members were almost exclusively working-class. But the party was always an uneasy alliance between those who saw politics purely in electoral terms and those who emphasized extra-parliamentary activity. And the election in 1921 of a Farmers' government caused divisions about how closely Labour should work with a non-Labour government. After the purge of the Communists, those who favoured an exclusive concentration on electoral activity and close collaboration with the Farmers, held sway. Their narrow conception of politics turned the Labour Party increasingly into a private preserve of union bureaucrats and created a political vacuum into which Social Credit stepped in.

Wage Labour and the Transition to Capitalism: A Critique of Pentland - Greer, Allan (Labour / Le Travail, 1985)
This paper examines two basic conceptual flaws in H. Clare Pentland's influential history of the early Canadian working class, Labour and Capital in Canada, 1650-1850. First, Pentland's eclectic use of Marxist, staples thesis, and Weberian approaches makes for a fundamentally incoherent treatment of the subject. Second, focusing on "labour" (that is, waged labour) and "capital," Pentland neglects the central features of Canada's pre-capitaiist social formations: features such as the household economy of production and direct consumption, which had little to do with waged labour or capital. Because his understanding of pre-capitalist society is so defective, Pentland is unable to deal adequately with the transition to capitalism.

The Communists and the Unemployed in the Prince George District, 1930-1935 - Hak, Gordon (BC Studies: The British Columbian Quarterly, 1985)
The worldwide depression prostrated the British Columbia economy in the early 1930s. Production levels dropped and industry stagnated. Unemployment became a pressing problem, and as jobless from throughout Canada rode the trains to the warmer climes of British Columbia's Lower Mainland there was fear that British Columbia was becoming "just a blamed resort for all the hoboes in Canada." Vancouver was inundated with unemployed workers and became the focus of agitation as the job-less organized demonstrations, tag days, and parades in order to gain the ear of governments and improve their circumstances. ... In interior centres, where the climate was much less kind, the jobless also launched an attack on the established order. In the Prince George district unemployed workers, led by communists, pressed the local government for higher relief payments, organized demonstrations and parades, initiated strikes in relief camps and at work projects, and even entered the political arena in the 1933 provincial election under the banner of the United Front. –Introduction

The Calgary Working Class and the Social Credit Movement in Alberta, 1932-35 - Hannant, Larry (Labour / Le Travail, 1985)
In August 1935 the people of Alberta shocked the country by electing a Social Credit government. Most explanations for this remarkable success have focused on the predominance of farmers in the province. This essay probes to the roots of the Social Credit movement in Calgary in 1932. What emerges is a new recognition of the vital role of Calgary workers in launching the movement. As organizers, activists and, at certain times, shock troops, Calgary workers led the Social Credit sweep through the city, then propelled it into the rural arena where it won its electoral victory.

A Death at Deer Lake: Catalyst of a Forgotten Newfoundland Work Stoppage, 1924 - MacLeod, Malcolm (Labour / Le Travail, 1985)
Introduces an edited version of testimony at the inquiry held into the death of Thomas Hartery, who died from measles at age 18 in the quarantine hut of a paper mill construction camp at Deer Lake, Newfoundland, on March 12, 1924. The circumstances of Hartery's death, including disposition of the body, prompted a collective workers' protest (there was no union) that culminated in a one-and-a-half-day strike over wages, food, accommodation, and hospital facilities—a little-remembered episode in the evolution of the Atlantic region's labour struggles.

The End of Agrarianism: The Fight for Farm Parity in Alberta and Saskatchewan, 1935-48 - Monod, David (Labour / Le Travail, 1985)
This paper deals with an attempt by the farmers of Alberta and Saskatchewan to have the economy regulated to their advantage. Through parity, the farmers hoped to have the prices of the goods they bought controlled by the values of those they had to sell. The agitation in favour of parity prices lasted ten years, and it culminated in a massive 30-day farm strike in autumn 1946. At the heart of the whole matter was the issue of agrarian survival. The struggle for parity involved marginal farmers who worked small acreages and had large overheads. These producers were being impoverished by their inability to compete with their more mechanized counterparts. The ultimate failure of their protest marked the end of the non-competitive farmers' existence in agriculture. But despite its failure, the agitation reveals not only the similarities between the industrialization process in its urban and rural contexts, but also the difficulties involved in transferring forms of dissent from one sector to the other.
