The Bradley Report on Logging Operations in Newfoundland, 1934: A Suppressed Document - Neary, Peter (Labour / Le Travail, 1985)
Introduces and publishes with minor editorial corrections the long-suppressed Bradley report of 1934 into the living and working conditions of men in the Newfoundland forest industry. The inquiry, which was led by J. Gordon Bradley, was commissioned by the government in response to worker complaints regarding the the country's two foreign-owned pulp-and-paper mills: the Anglo-Newfoundland Development Company Limited at Grand Falls and the International Power and Paper Company of Newfoundland Limited at Corner Brook. However, the report's damning findings were kept secret in return for the companies' agreement to pay the workers a minimum net monthly wage of $25; the ruling Commission of Government also subsequently tooks steps to improve working conditions in addition to passing legislation on the logging camps in 1938.

Chambly Mills, 1784‑1815 - Noël, Françoise (Historical Papers / Communications historiques, 1985)
The study of Gabriel Christie's investments in, and operation of, Chambly Mills in the late eighteenth century provides insight into the role of a small-scale seigneurial enterprise in the rural economy. Despite the sizable investment involved, the flour mill employed only a small number of permanent wage workers, and other cash expen- ditures were minimal. The mill can therefore be seen to have operated within a traditional structure of rural society rather than as a force for change. The mill, however, also depended on artisanal labour and a link between the establishment of the mills and the growth of the village is suggested. Seigneurial investment may have been a major factor in the increasing number of villages in Lower Canada between 1815 and 1831. A need for further study of the role of seigneurial capital in the wider economy is indicated, an area which the focus on centralized and large-scale industries has left virtually unexplored.

Documents the work done by women in the domestic sphere, including their control and supervision of onshore sundried fish drying for the market, a practice that lasted into the 1950s.

The Communist Party and the Woman Question, 1922-1929 - Sangster, Joan (Labour / Le Travail, 1985)
This paper analyzes the Communist Party of Canada's view of the woman question, the role women played in the party, and the party's successes and failures in its attempts to organize working-class women. The Communist Party's view of the woman question was shaped by the advice of the USSR and the Communist International, as well as by the party's social base and the political understanding of its own membership. The Communist Party's Women's Department helped to create a new national organization for women, the Women's Labor Leagues, which, led by Florence Custance, experienced substantial growth in the 1920s. The Communist Party gave more attention to women's inequality than had previous socialist parties, although it failed to live up to its stated aims to organize working-class women and encourage women's participation in the revolutionary movement.

Socialists and Workers: The Western Canadian Coal Miners, 1900-21 - Seager, Allen (Labour / Le Travail, 1985)
At the end of the nineteenth century, the socialist movement in Canada began a campaign to create national political organizations and to forge links with the working class, The strongest of these organizations was the Socialist Party of Canada (SPC), which elected several provincial deputies in the West after 1903, and won the affiliation of a number of unions, above all District 18 of the United Mine Workers of America. This article analyzes the socialist project in the coal mining regions of Alberta and British Columbia, 1900-20. Here, mining conditions provoked long and hard working-class struggles, such as the violent strike of non-union miners on Vancouver Island in 1912-4, or the general strike of miners in the Crow's Nest Pass in 1919. Socialist politics had the sympathy of the militants but more importantly, of the mass of electors in these regions. Contrary to the mythology of the frontier, the majority of working-class socialists comprised stable industrial communities. And the Marxist programme of the SPC offered an alternative to each of the great ethnic blocks in the coalfields: European immigrants on the one hand, and English-speaking workers on the other. Be that as it may, the socialists suffered a decisive defeat after 1914. The historical juncture of 1919 created new marching orders for the miners: towards the Communist Party, or the "reformist" socialism of the CCF.

It was the problems arising from competition and increasing costs of transportation that led the Hudson's Bay Company to begin commodity production in agriculture, fishing and lumbering, thereby initiating capitalist wage-labour relations and paving the way for the subsequent disastrous decline in the well-being of Native peoples in the province.

The Malaise of Compulsory Conciliation: Strike Prevention in Canada during World War II - Webber, Jeremy (Labour / Le Travail, 1985)
During World War II, the government of Canada sought to prevent strikes primarily through the use of "compulsory conciliation:" in specified industries, strikes and lockouts were prohibited until a government-sponsored board had investigated the dispute and delivered its report. This paper examines the operation of that regime during the war years. It highlights the tension between two alternative views of the boards' function (adjudication and mediation), indicates how the government manipulated the conciliation process in order to prevent or delay strikes, discusses briefly the reasons invoked by boards in their judgements, and demonstrates the frustration arising from the government's reluctance to prescribe clear norms of industrial conduct. In the turbulent wartime economy, compulsory conciliation failed to achieve the level of industrial peace demanded of it. Eventually, mandatory wage controls and a labour code modeled on the American Wagner Act were adopted, restricting the scope of the conciliation regime.

The Role of the British Government in the Spread of Scientific Management and Fordism in the Interwar Years - Lewchuk, Wayne (The Journal of Economic History, 1984)
The slowness with which British firms adopted Scientific Management and Fordism has often been noted.The paper argues that in Britain, management had difficulty controlling labor effort norms after 1870. The state intervened to resolve the issue and in the process became a major proponent of industrial democracy. It is argued that the early interest in industrial democracy retarded the adoption of American methods that assumed a greater degree of managerial control over factory organization.

An Agnostic View of the Historiography of the Irish-Americans - Akenson, D.H. (Donald H.) (Labour / Le Travail, 1984)
This article summarizes the accepted view of the Irish in America, notably that they have always been a "city people." The author then surveys the sources of data on which the agreed interpretation is based. He demonstrates that for the crucial years of the Irish-American experience, the period 1815-75: (l) that the data base certainly is inadequate to prove the '"city people" hypothesis and (2) he speculates (and his speculations are clearly labelled as such) that a more realistic interpretation of the ambiguous data is that the Irish indeed were not a city people. The importance of this argument for historians of social class in North America is that it implies that Irish immigrants and their off-spring cannot necessarily be assumed to have formed a part of the urban working class.

Lors de deux plaintes de pratiques déloyales dirigées l'une contre un employeur et l'autre contre le syndicat en place chez celui-ci, le Conseil a profite de l'occasion pour établir une distinction entre les activités syndicales protégées par le Code et celles qui ne le sont pas. Ces dernières sont exercées d'une façon qui brime les intérêts légitimes d'un employeur. Le Conseil a également décide qu'une preuve relative au processus disciplinaire interne du syndicat est inadmissible lors d'une enquête et audition aux termes de l'article 136.1 du Code. Le Conseil affirme aussi qu'un plaignant alléguant violation par son syndicat du devoir de représentation juste et sans discrimination doit accorder à son agent négociateur une aide et une coopération entière et loyale.

Pigs, Cows, and Boarders: Non-Wage Forms of Survival among Montreal Families, 1861-91 - Bradbury, Bettina (Labour / Le Travail, 1984)
To understand the family economy of the working class in the period of early industrial capitalism it is necessary to go beyond a simple consideration of the sufficiency of wages, to put aside the equation of work with wage labour and to examine other ways in which survival could be enhanced. This paper begins an examination of non-wage-based survival strategies. It focuses on animal raising, gardening, the taking in of boarders and house sharing in mid- to late-nineteenth-century Montreal. These particular survival strategies can be ascertained to some extent from people's responses to the census taker. Analysis of their responses as found in the manuscript schedules of 1861 and 1871 constitutes the core of the paper. Professionals and proprietors were most likely to keep cows, the semi- and unskilled pigs. Pigs were outlawed in this period, while cows remained legal. Gardening, too, was largely eliminated on the narrow, densely built lots of the working class. The outlawing of pigs represents one of a complex of changes that, over the length of a generation, severely curtailed the proletariat's access to means of supplementing their wages and altered the contributions a wife and children could make to the family economy.

The Newfoundland Sealers' Strike of 1902 - Busch, Briton Cooper (Labour / Le Travail, 1984)
In March 1902, 3000 men were in St. John's prepared to go to the ice when rumours of lowered wages precipitated a major strike. The event produced minimal violence and delayed the fleet's sailing for only two days. Nevertheless, it was the only major sealing labour action in the era of the famous "wooden walls" and for the first time some limits were placed on the power of the Water Street merchant elite. Long-range causes involve many aspects of Newfoundland political, social, and economic organization; results included sealing safety legislation and encouragement of the foundation of William Coaker's Fisherman's Protective Union. The article discusses the background, evolution, and significance of the strike.

Workers' Conspiracies in Toronto, 1854-72 - Craven, Paul (Labour / Le Travail, 1984)
Trade unions were not criminal conspiracies in Canadian law prior to the passage of the Trade Unions Act. In a series of trials between 1854 and 1872 the Toronto criminal courts consistently failed to convict workers on evidence that would have warranted conviction had combinations to raise wages or lessen hours been considered to be criminal conspiracies. Analysis of the English case-law reveals a lack of judicial consensus that such combinations were criminal conspiracies, and in any event all such statements of law were merely obiter dicta. While such trade union purposes as raising wages could serve as evidence of combination, there was no criminal conspiracy in the absence of specific crimes.

Immigration Policies and the Creation of an Ethnically Segmented Working Class in British Columbia, 1880-1923 - Creese, Gillian (Alternate Routes: A Journal of Critical Social Research, 1984)
This paper examines the role of Canadian immigration policies in the creation of an ethnically segmented working class in pre-Second World War British Columbia. Existing research on the British Columbian working class has documented the radical nature of (white) working class trade union and socialist organization, while at the same time identifying anti-Asian racism as a major feature of organized (white) working class activity in the province. The formation of an ethnically segmented working class occurred through a complex and reciprocal process of ethnic segmentation within the labour market and the political and ideological practices of the working class. In British Columbia, I argue, state immigration policies played a crucial role in this process by according Asian immigrants, in contrast to European and American immigrants, an inferior political status as "non-settlers' within Canada, reinforcing their marginal economic position within the labour market and placing Asian workers in a position of economic and political inferiority vis-a-vis other workers in the province. In this context, immigration policies became a focus of class conflict in British Columbia, and working class organization and consciousness developed in an ethnically segmented and racist form.

Le chômage des jeunes au Québec: Aggravation et concentration, 1966-1982 - Fortin, Pierre (Relations Industrielles / Industrial Relations, 1984)
L'aggravation du chômage des jeunes québécois depuis 1966 est principalement due à la raréfaction progressive de l'emploi depuis 1974 (et surtout depuis 1979) ainsi qu'à la vulnérabilité particulière des jeunes à la conjoncture. Ce chômage est aussi fort concentre parmi les jeunes décrocheurs en état chronique de privation d'emploi. Le problème ne peut être résolu sans l'adoption d'une politique macroéconomique résolument expansionniste qui doit être appuyée par une politique microéconomique conduisant à une répartition plus équitable de l'emploi.

Labourism and the Canadian Working Class - Heron, Craig (Labour / Le Travail, 1984)
Between 1880 and 1920 the dominant ideology of independent working-class politics east of the Rockies was labourism, a brand of reformism which resembled but remained distinct from other ideological currents on the Canadian left. It was the political expression of skilled workers, who set out to win over wider support in the working class. It remained, in essence, a form of working-class liberalism, which had existed as Radicalism on the left wing of the Liberal Party but which took on an independent life in Canadian politics as industrial conflict heated up. For a brief period at the end of World War I, labourists allied with Marxist and ethical socialists to produce the visionary political dimension in the unprecedented post-war upsurge of the Canadian working class. The political movement and its ideology quickly declined in the early 1920s, however, along with the craftsworkers who had propelled it for half a century.

Canadian Socialism and the Woman Question, 1900-1914 - Kealey, Linda (Labour / Le Travail, 1984)
This paper examines women in the Canadian socialist movement to illuminate their role within the institutional life of the movement and to analyze the ideological dimensions of the "woman question" before 1914. Socialist adherence to the primacy of woman's role in the home and to the family wage ideal, as well as their ambivalence toward working women, and an undeveloped vision of woman's role under socialism — all served to reinforce a secondary role for women in socialist organizations. Suspicion of bourgeois women's organizations and of autonomous women's groups generally, hampered socialist women from assuming leadership roles with some notable exceptions. While socialist analysis pointed to the exploitation of women as both workers and wives and mothers, women's issues and organizations remained peripheral and subordinale to the main task of overthrowing capitalism.
