Local Union Democracy: In Search of Criteria - Anderson, John C. (Relations Industrielles / Industrial Relations, 1979)
A vast number of criteria have been proposed as indicators of union democracy. Unfortunately, little agreement exists on the relative importance of those criteria. This article examines the interrelationships between several major components of union democracy: participation, electoral control, leadership responsiveness, and union control structure. Based on the results an integrated approach to union democracy is proposed.

"Dangerous Foreigners": European Immigrant Workers and Labour Radicalism in Canada, 1896-1932 - Avery, Donald (Canadian social history series, 1979)
The deplorable exploitation of immigrant workers from the 1890s to the Depression is documented in this vivid account of Canada's early immigration policies. Transported by boxcar and often herded at gun point, these "men in sheepskin coats" were lured from Central and Eastern Europe by promises of shared wealth in a veritable promised land. Their backbreakaing labour in industry and agriculture directly furthered Canada's economic development, transportation lines, and land settlement. But their status, as detailed here with public records, newspaper accounts, and private correspondence was little above that of slave labour. Professor Avery records the immigrants' poor working conditions, bad pay, violent treatment at the hands of challenged authorities, and wholesale deportation when work became scrace. Recounted as well as their hostile reception by British Canadian, the government neglect of immigrant assimilation programs, and the workers' ultimate recourse to radical ethnic and political organization to better their lot. --Publisher's description

On Becker’s Theory of Commitment: An Empirical Verification Among Blue-Collar Workers - Baba, Vishwanath V.; Jamal, Muahammad (Relations Industrielles / Industrial Relations, 1979)
The present study attempts to assess the empirical relevance of Becker's theory of commitment to study organizational commitment among blue collar workers. The relative importance of demographic, background and job factors as possible predictors of organizational commitment are examined. The sample is drawn from packaging, power distribution and manufacturing industries in Canada. Stepwise multiple regression analysis is used to isolate the important predictors of organizational commitment.

An Account to Settle: The Story of the United Bank Workers (SORWUC) - Bank Book Collective (Vancouver, BC); Ainsworth, Jackie (Press Gang Publishers, 1979)
In 1976, a group of women bankers decided to organize their workplace. The banks were enraged. When they decided to do it themselves, the big unions were upstaged. Over the next two years, nearly a thousand bank employees in western Canada participated in a unionizing drive that challenged not only the banks but organizated labour's approach to a workplace that they had long considered beyond their range of union activity. This is the story of the United Bank Workers of SORWUC (Service, Office and Retail Workers of Canada). With honesty and humour, the clerks and tellers of the UBW tell why they decided to take on the banks and what happened when they did. --Publisher's description

Les dimensions conceptuelles du leadership et les styles qui en découlent - Bergeron, Jean-Louis (Relations Industrielles / Industrial Relations, 1979)
Après avoir proposé une définition du leadership et expliqué la différence entre dimension et style de leadership, l'auteur résume les principales études qui ont porté sur les dimensions du leadership et suggère une classification qui semble pouvoir intégrer les connaissances acquises jusqu'à maintenant. L'étude de quelques auteurs bien connus pour leurs écrits sur les styles de leadership permet ensuite de voir à quelles dimensions ces auteurs ont fait appel pour définir les styles dont ils nous parlent.

Un cadre théorique pour l’étude de la relation entre la participation et la motivation au travail - Bergeron, Jean-Louis (Relations Industrielles / Industrial Relations, 1979)
À la suite d'une description des différentes théories qui ont été avancées pour expliquer une relation possible entre la participation et la motivation, l'auteur soutient que ces théories pèchent souvent sur deux points majeurs: une définition trop vague de ce qu'est la participation et l'absence d'un modèle explicite de motivation au travail. Il s'attache donc à corriger ces déficiences et à démontrer par quels processus certaines formes de participation peuvent affecter chacune des trois composantes du modèle VIE (Expectancy) de motivation. La capacité que semble posséder ce modèle d'intégrer toutes les théories présentées au début de l'article fait ensuite l'objet d'une brève discussion.

Règles du jeu et rapport de force dans les secteurs public et parapublic québécois - Boivin, Jean (Relations Industrielles / Industrial Relations, 1979)
Dans cet article, l'auteur analyse les principales modifications apportées au régime de négociation collective dans les secteurs public et para-public québécois. Après avoir affirmé que le rapport de force est au coeur même des relations du travail dans les sociétés industrielles et que la forme privilégiée que revêt l’institutionnalisation de ce rapport de force dans les pays occidentaux est la négociation collective, il s'interroge sur les conséquences de la transposition de ce mécanisme dans le secteur public. Il rappelle brièvement l'évolution historique de la négociation collective dans les secteurs public et para-public québécois et analyse la philosophie de base de la Commission créée en juillet 1977 par le gouvernement pour étudier le régime des négociations collectives en vigueur. Constatant que les principales modifications introduites par le législateur en juin 1978 s'inspirent de cette philosophie de base, il les situe par rapport aux positions exprimées par les parties syndicales et patronales devant la Commission et par rapport aux problèmes rencontrés dans les négociations antérieures.

Alberta Labour: A Heritage Untold - Caragata, Warren (Lorimer, 1979)
Without labour there would be no history. As this book shows, the history of labour in Alberta is colourful, exciting and filled with dramatic characters and events well worth discovering. Alberta Labour traces the growth of union organizations in Alberta: the Knights of Labour in the 1880s, the legendary Wobblies, the abortive One Big Union and finally the Alberta Federation of Labour, founded in 1912. This history, the first of its kind, has been compiled from interviews with union members, original letters and documents, and contemporary newspapers and magazines. Illustrated with over 90 full-page photographs, most of them never before published, Alberta Labour vividly depicts the working people of Alberta and their unparalleled contribution to the province's history. --Publisher's description

L’effet du salaire minimum sur les prix, l’emploi et la répartition des revenus : le cas du Québec - Fortin, Pierre (Relations Industrielles / Industrial Relations, 1979)
Les principales conclusions de cet article sont qu'un niveau élevé du salaire minimum, sans poser d'obstacle insurmontable quant à la stabilité des prix dans une économie aussi exposée à la concurrence extérieure que l'économie du Québec, risque de soutenir un niveau de chômage plus important qu'on a pu le croire jusqu'à ce jour, et tout spécialement parmi les jeunes; et que le salaire minimum élevé est un moyen très inefficace de mieux répartir les revenus qu'il vaudrait mieux remplacer par des outils d'intervention mieux appropriés comme un régime de revenu familial garanti ou même des plans de soutien du revenu un peu plus modestes.

Men, Money, Machines: Studies Comparing Colliery Operations and Factors of Production in British Columbia’s Coal Industry to 1891 - Gallacher, Daniel Thomas (University of British Columbia, 1979)
Coal mining in nineteenth century British Columbia was confined almost exclusively to the tidewater coal measures of Vancouver Island where it was expanded rapidly from 1871 to 1891. This dissertation's purposes are to describe the coal industry's rise, account for its fast growth in the seventies and eighties, and assess the coal trade's general impact upon the region's economy. The approach is thematic, focusing in turn upon coal lands, capital, management, labour, technology, markets, production, and productivity. Standard research, organization, and interpretation methods for economic history are followed, including thorough descriptive use of statistical data. Comparisons are intensive and far-reaching, resulting in a close-knit framework upon which important conclusions are based. No effort has been made, however, to offer extensive biographical information on the coal trade's leading personalities. These studies confirm the coal industry's rapid expansion, and determine that all factors of production can explain that phenomenon with a high degree of certainty, though market demand and management technique do so more readily than other agents. It is shown that management methods and styles evolved quickly, the most effective being the owner-manager type as practiced by Robert Dunsmuir, the industry's most successful proprietor. Risk capital was drawn from various sources, including mainly British direct investments, local savings, partnerships (often involving foreign investors), and ploughed-back profits. Entrepreneurs and promoters were active in attempting to develop coal properties from 1864 on, though only those highly experienced in mining and management succeeded. Chronic worker shortages, coupled with the physical problems associated with coal mining in mountainous terrain, forced coal operators to opt early for labour saving technology imported almost exclusively from Britain. The introduction of large numbers of Oriental colliers by Dunsmuir after 1870, (who were willing to work at half the wages whites would), slowed the technological advance of the industry, but not annual rates of production increases. Considerable friction between white workers and management resulted from the latter's initiatives with Oriental labour, while the owners' policy of severely restricting wage-rates caused further serious labour problems, including a high number of work stoppages. Mine safety, job security, and general working conditions also were contentious issues. B.C.'s early collieries relied heavily upon the California market which often was unsteady, but which accounted for approximately seventy-five percent of all sales during the years 1849-91. Domestic users were mainly shipping companies, light industry, and households. Much of the local market was handled at the pithead. The major coal companies streamlined their channels of distribution by opening their own sales offices in Victoria and San Francisco, and. in the case of Dunsmuir, by also building a collier fleet and a railway of his own. The coal industry had a major influence upon southern Vancouver Island's economy, but not a large impact upon the remainder of the province. No determined "attempts were made by coal proprietors or other capitalists to create secondary industries linked to coal production, though colliery owners did invest in land, transport, and retail-wholesale ventures designed either to service their mining activities or to diversify their personal holdings. Such moves occurred later-on, however, as the main thrust of their initial efforts was to establish and maintain the coal trade with California.

The Phone Book: Working at the Bell - Kuyek, Joan (Between the Lines, 1979)
If you believe the advertisements, Bell Canada is in the business of putting grannies in touch with their loved ones, helping blind kids play baseball, and generally making it easier for society to "communicate." In this book, Joan Newman Kuyek presentes a different story - a story of stifling bureaucracy, of increasingly fragmented and dehumanizing jobs, of the elimination of workers through changing technology, of flashy corporate expansion abroad and declining service at home. It's a story that reveals what lies behind the rate increases demanded almost annually in the last decade. It does much to explain the struggle for unionization and the wave of strikes that recently hit the phone company. The Phone Book is an "inside view" of work at the Bell. Joan Kuyek speaks from personal experience - she spent nearly three years as a Bell service representative, and interviewed dozens of her co-workers, operators, service representatives, installers and others, for the book. --Publisher's description

William Irvine: The Life of a Prairie Radical - Mardiros, Anthony (Lorimer, 1979)
Along with J.S. Woodsworth, William Irvine was one of the pioneers of socialism in Canada, a member of the radical Ginger Group, progenitor of the C.C.F. and N.D.P. In the wake of the First World War Irvine struggled relentlessly to organize Alberta farmers for political action. Elected to Parliament in 1921, he along with close friend Woodsworth were the sole labour representatives in the House: they worked incessantly against the monopoly power of large corporations and financial institutions. Together they laid the basis for a socialist challenge to the Eastern-dominated, two-party system in Canada. William Irvine: The Life of a Prairie Radical chronicles his immense contribution to the search for political alternatives in this country, a contribution that can still be felt in Canadian politics today. --Publisher's description

We Stood Together: First-Hand Accounts of Dramatic Events in Canada's Labour Past - Montero, Gloria (Lorimer, 1979)
Told for the first time, here are the stories of twelve of Canada's outstanding labour leaders and organizers. Their accounts tell the behind-the-scenes stories of some of the key events in twentieth-century Canadian history: the 1919 Winnipeg General Strike; the 1935 On-to-Ottawa trek of the unemployed, which played a major role in the defeat of Tory Prime Minister R.B. Bennett; the 1945 Ford strike in Windsor, which consolidated the rights of big industrial unions; the 1972 Common Front of Quebec's public sector workers. Gloria Montero travelled across the country to interview the labour leaders whose stories make up this book. We see the Winnipeg General Strike and the trials which followed through the eyes of Bill Pritchard, one of the eight strike leaders arrested and later tried by the government. In Vancouver Bill Walsh gave a first-hand account of riding the rails to Regina with the On-to-Ottawa trekkers. Madeleine Parent tells about organizing Quebec workers in the Forties against the anti-labour regime of Maurice Duplessis. Among other noted labour leaders whose stories are told here there are BC's Homer Stevens, Quebec's Yvon Charbonneau, Ontario's Grace Hartman, and the UAW's George Burt. The result is a book alive with people who are usually shadowy figures in the news and in the history books, but who played major roles in Canada's colourful and turbulent labour past. --Publisher's description

Palmer shows how the disruptive influence of devel oping industrial capitalism was counterbalanced by the stabilizing effect of the associational life of the workingman, ranging from the fraternal order and the mechanics' institute to the baseball diamond and the "rough music" of the charivari. On the basis of this social and cultural solidarity, Hamilton's craftsmen fought for and achieved a measure of autonomy on the shop-floor through the practice of workers' control. Working-class thought proved equally adaptable, moving away from the producer ideology and its manufacturer-mechanic alliance toward a recognition of class polarization. Making ample use of contemporary evidence in newspapers, labour journals, and unpublished correspondence, the author discusses such major developments in the class conflict as the nine-hour movement of 1872, the dramatic emergence of the Knights of Labor, and the beginnings of craft unionism after 1890. He finds that the concept of a labour aristocracy has litlle meaning in Hamilton, where skilled workers were the culling edge of the working-class movement, involved in issues which directly related to the experience of their less-skilled brethren. More remarkable than the final attainment of capitalist control of the work place, he concludes, are the long-continued resistance of the Hamilton workers and their success in retaining much of their power in the pre-World War I years. --Publisher's description

The Western Canadian Labour Movement, 1897-1919 - Pentland, H. Clare (Harry Clare) (Canadian Journal of Political and Social Theory, 1979)
The objective of this essay is to establish and clarify the dimensions, the character, and the significance of the remarkable labour movement that developed in western Canada in the closing decades of the nineteenth century and flourished during the great boom of the early twentieth century. Within this general purpose are some particular ones: to demonstrate the rapidity of the numerical growth of unionism in the West, to suggest some reasons for it, and to show why western unionists were far more radical and militant than eastern ones. --Introduction

Rational/Statistical Method of Test Validation - Pinder, Craig C. (Relations Industrielles / Industrial Relations, 1979)
This study demonstrates the application of a test validation procedure similar to that described by Mobley and Ramsay (1973) but which avoids the use of factor analysis in isolating dimensions upon which subsequent job subgrouping is based. Instead, a semi-judgmental, semi-statistical method was employed. Actual test validation data are reported which, although missing in Mobley and Ramsay's (1973) article, attest to the utility of a job grouping approach to the validation problem.

Union Maids: Organized Women Workers in Vancouver 1900-1915 - Rosenthal, Star (BC Studies: The British Columbian Quarterly, 1979)
The history of women in the labour force is by and large a neglected area of study, especially with regard to trade unionism. For British Columbia in the early years of this century, while there are various accounts of men's union struggles, there does not exist at present any published secondary material on the union activity of women. This article will attempt to give a preliminary account of the organization of some women workers in Vancouver during the period from 1900 to 1915. --Introduction

Characterization of Canadian Strikes: Some Critical Comments - Smith, Michael R. (Relations Industrielles / Industrial Relations, 1979)
This paper examines examples of two different intellectual traditions within which Canadian strikes are interpreted. The distinctiveness of the two traditions becomes most clear in reactions to a paper by Crispo and Arthurs (1968) on industrial conflict in the mid i960*s. Each tradition involves assumptions about the nature of industrial conflict. In neither of the examples discussed from the two traditions, however, is the adequacy of the assumptions really established. Despite the fact that these two traditions assert entirely contradictory characterizations of Canadian strikes, there appears to be no serious dialogue between the exponents of either position.

La formation matérielle de la classe ouvrière à Montréal entre 1790 et 1830 - Tremblay, Robert (Revue d'histoire de l'Amérique française, 1979)
À la lumière des récents travaux sur le mouvement ouvrier au Québec, nous en sommes venus à constater la nécessité de mettre en relief les mécanismes de formation de la classe ouvrière. Plus précisément, nous avons posé les questions, à savoir: quels ont été les premiers modes d'appropriation de la force de travail par le capital? Comment s'est tissé un premier réseau de rapports de production capitalistes à l'intérieur de l'espace colonial que représente le Bas-Canada au début du XIXe siècle? Dans la poursuite de cet objectif, nous avons utilisé une documentation comprenant plus de 3 000 actes notariés (surtout des contrats d'engagement et un nombre moindre de conventions de marché)2 de façon à dégager le mieux possible les traits dominants de l'organisation du travail à Montréal entre 1790 et 1830. --Introduction

La participation à une grève illégale en tant que motif de congédiement - Verge, Pierre (Relations Industrielles / Industrial Relations, 1979)
Le congédiement d'un salarié au seul motif de sa participation à une grève illégale contredit-il le maintien légal du lien de salariat à la suite d'une grève? Comment l'envisager en regard de la protection de l'activité syndicale? S'agit-il de deux questions distinctes ou, ou contraire, d'une même réalité? La prise de position récente de la Cour d'Appel à ce sujet, à la suite de jugements parfois divergents du Tribunal du travail, est d'autant plus importante que le Code du travail prétend maintenant assurer expressément aux salariés le recouvrement de leur emploi à la suite d'une grève.

Concrètement, l'association accréditée serait-elle maintenant habilitée à s'assurer de l'efficacité de l'arrêt de travail? Par ailleurs, quelles sont les conséquences juridiques du refus de travailler, par solidarité syndicale, de salariés se rattachant à des unités de négociations non visées par la grève?

The Saskatchwan Government’s Internal Arrangements to Accomodate Collective Bargaining - Wetzel, Kurt; Gallagher, Daniel G. (Relations Industrielles / Industrial Relations, 1979)
This study looks at three models employee! by Saskatchewan's provincial public sector management to facilitate bargaining. First is a relatively conventional adaptation to bargaining with provincial civil servants. In the second, associations of nursing homes and hospitals bargain in the presence of a government observer. The third has the government and school trustees, with government holding the balance of power, negotiating jointly with the teachers. The paper also discusses the central coordination and control functions which the government has developed to deal with bargaining.

Cooperation and Conflict: Relations Among the Teachers' Associations in Québec, 1959-1969 - Wright, W. Alan (McGill University, 1979)
A vital element in 'the transformation of Québec society during the period of "la révolution tranquille" was the establishment of a modern education system. As the government of Québec took initiatives to remodel education, the Corporation des Enseignants du Québec (CEQ), the provincial Association of Protestant Teachers (PAPT), and the Provincial Association of Catholic Teachers (PACT), became more involved in the mainstream of Québec education. The scope of the teachers' associations' actions evolved, they grew as organizations, and they emerged as militant unions in Québec's work force. While the teachers' associations worked in isolation from one another at the beginning of the ten-year period, there was movement towards greater cooperation in the mid-sixties and there were constant contacts during the latter part of the decade: these contacts involved significant cooperation but the associations were also in conflict over several issues. Cooperation among the associations was most highly developed in relation to economic and labour relations concerns. Serious conflict arose over the issues of language, school board reorganization and membership jurisdiction.

La conscience syndicale lors des grèves du textile en 1937 et de l'amiante en 1949 - Charpentier, Alfred; Leblanc, André E. (Labour / Le Travail, 1978)
L'auteur remet en question l'hypothèse que la grève de l'amiante de 1949 ait été l'élément moteur du développement de la conscience ouvrière au Québec. La grève du textile de 1937 avait suscité un même type de prise de conscience: les deux conflits s'étaient développés de la même façon au niveau local; les deux ont lié des objectifs généraux concernant l'ensemble de l'industrie; dans les deux cas, la grève est déclenchée après que les travailleurs n'aient pas réussi à obtenir la reconnaissance de leur syndicat par le patron et l'obtention d'un contrat collectif; et finalement, les dirigeants de la C.T.C.C. assumèrent la direction des deux grèves.

The Formation of the Canadian Industrial Relations System During World War Two - Macdowell, Laurel Sefton (Labour / Le Travail, 1978)
During the war years extensive trade union growth was accompanied by serious industrial unrest. Wage controls, inadequate labour representation on war policy making bodies, and the absence of collective bargaining legislation resulted in antagonistic labour-government relations. The government's strict enforcement of wage controls and refusal to enact legislation to handle the growing number of "recognition strikes' ' contributed to labour's growing alienation. The T.L.C. and the C.C.L., despite their organizational rivalry, united to demand new legislation modelled after the American Wagner Act. The labour movement also forged a formal relationship with the C.C.F. The federal government decided to maintain wage controls despite their unpopularity; however, the C.C.F. 's growing popularity, its electoral victories, and the success of the recently passed Ontario collective bargaining legislation, caused the government to introduce a new labour relations policy in 1944 (PC 1003). This order became the basis for a new labour relations framework which recognized the status of collective bargaining. Labour did not achieve significant representation on government policy making bodies, but it did achieve representation on the permanent tribunals which were set up to administer the labour legislation. At the local level, employees were more readily able to organize into trade unions and negotiate collective agreements. This permanently undermined traditional management prerogatives and to this extent employees achieved a new status and a degree of participation in industrial decision making.

Capital and Labour in the Halifax Baking and Confectionery Industry During the' Last Half of the Nineteenth Century - Mckay, Ian (Labour / Le Travail, 1978)
The Halifax baking and confectionery industry was characterized by the uneasy coexistence of craft bakeries, manufactories, and one factory. A stratified system of production produced a stratified labour force, in which the journeymen bakers alone were able to organize a union. Their struggles reveal a cleavage between factory workers and other journeymen in the industry.

Les Artisan et la Conscience de Classe Ouvrière: nouvelles recherches aux États-Unis - Montgomery, David (Labour / Le Travail, 1978)
Les recherches récentes sur les artisans aux États-Unis mettent l'accent sur le caractère évolutif du développement capitaliste, sur la transmission des idées révolutionnaires du XVIIIe siècle au mouvement ouvrier du siècle suivant, sur la résistance des travailleurs à la discipline du travail en système capitaliste et sur le comportement des foules comme source d'analyse de la conscience populaire.

Discordant Music: Charivaris and Whitecapping in Nineteenth-Century North America - Palmer, Bryan D. (Labour / Le Travail, 1978)
This paper examines charivaris and whitecapping in 19th-century North America. Establishing the presence of the charivan/shivaree over the course of the century and of whitecapping in the years 1885-1905, the study examines two particular ritualistic forms of enforcing community standards and behaviour. Commonly directed against unnatural marriage, sexual offenders, wife beaters, and those who defied acceptable standards of behaviour (including employers and strikebreakers), charivaris and whitecapping posed the threatening order of custom against the rule of law. As such, they challenged, implicitly if not explicitly, a developing bourgeois hegemony. In studying them, we learn much about society and culture, order and disorder, in the 19th-century past, forces crucial to an understanding of the plebeian and working-class communities.

The 1907 Bell Telephone Strike: Organizing Women Workers - Sangster, Joan (Labour / Le Travail, 1978)
This article analyzes the causes and significance of the 1907 Toronto Bell Telephone strike, which aroused considerable public sympathy and resulted in a Royal Commission. The author discusses the attitudes of the Bell Telephone Company, the government (especially Mackenzie King), middle class opinion and organized labour towards these women workers. She also examines some of the reasons for the operators' failure to make substantial gains or organize into a union, despite their militant effort to fight wage cutbacks and an increase in hours.

Munitions and Labour Militancy: The 1916 Hamilton Machinists' Strike - Siemiatycki, Myer (Labour / Le Travail, 1978)
The 1916 Hamilton machinists' strike was the first prolonged work stoppage to disrupt munitions production during the First World War. It exhibited many of the features which were to become a fixed pattern in Canadian industrial relations through to 1919: fierce employer resistance to the demands of organized labour: opportunistic policy decisions by government and the Imperial Munitions Board: and embattled trade union leaders struggling to assert their own code of responsible union behaviour against a restive membership. This paper explores each of these themes as well as the strike's impact on the labour movement in Hamilton and the rest of Canada.

Workers, Growers and Monopolists: The "Labour Problem" in the Alberta Beet Sugar Industry During the 1930s - Thompson, John Herd; Seager, Allen (Labour / Le Travail, 1978)
[The article studies] the sugar beet workers of Southern Alberta and their attempt during the Depression to organize a trade union. Radical militants from the Farmers and Workers Unity Leagues organized the foreign born workers and in 1935 and 1936 led strikes which brought the "class struggle" to the farm gate. Observing the exploitative relationship which also existed between the beet growers and the Rogers Sugar Company, union leaders attempted to create a worker-grower movement against the Company. This proved an unrealizable goal, and the collaboration of growers, the sugar company and the state ultimately crushed the beet workers' union.

The Canadian Worker in the Twentieth Century - Abella, Irving M.; Millar, David (Canadian social history series, 1978)
This anthology consists largely of eyewitness accounts of - and often by - the working men, women, and children of Canada. Beyond the institutional history of trade unions and labour partiees are massive changes in patterns of thought, economic life, standards of living, and conditions of work. In these primary sources, we may glimpse these changes, see their impact in human terms, and hear the voices of the unorganized, the unemployed, and the oppressed, as well as those of union officials and skilled workers with hopes of rapid upward mobility. Most significantly, these documents suggest not only new directions for the student of Canadian social history, but also major revisions of some traditional assumptions of the historian. These readings - most taken from rare, out-of-print, or previously unavailable documents -- tell of life and work in an industrializing, expanding Canada; of conditions in mines, factories, farms and lumber camps; of the cruel exploitation of women and immigrant workers; and of the great migration in these years from country to city. They represent almost all the provinces and range over conditions in Victorian times to those faced today by field labour and immigrant men and women in modern sweatshops. In their own words, describing their dailly confrtontation with life, we can listen to a Calgary charwoman, a Japanese fisherman, a Cape Breton miner, a Jewish ragpicker, an Italian railroad worker, a Quebec garment worker, a Ukrainian farm-boy, and scores of others. Here is the most vivid account yet of the problem faced by Canadian workers, both native and immigrant; of their distinctive attitudes and traditions; and, above all, of their courage and bitter struggle for equality and a better life. The book as a whole is an important contribution to the movement in recent years to deepen and broaden our labour history. -- Publisher's description.

Current arrangements must be viewed essentially as transitional accommodations in the unending search for viable, more satisfying and productive plans.

Fools and Wise Men - Bercuson, David Jay (McGraw-Hill Ryerson, 1978)
This is the story of the One Big Union--the people who built and those who tore it down. The tale is well known in its broad outlines to many people with an interest in Canadian history, but because it was a failure--and history is generally about winners--few have a clear idea of what the OBU was, why it was created and the reasons for its rapid demise. I have long believed the story should be told in full, because it carries with it an explanation of what happened to the spirit of radicalism and revolt that motivated many working people in the west prior to 1920. Sometimes the explanation of a failure is more revealing than the description of a success. --Author's preface

Industrial Democracy in Western Europe: A North American Perspective - Crispo, John H. G. (McGraw-Hill Ryerson, 1978)
John Crispo reviews the latest trends in industrial democracy in Western Europe. The book is based upon his earlier work in this area and a recently completed 10-month tour of the countries involved, which he spent interviewing labour and management representatives and other interested individuals throughout Western Europe. The result is an up-to-date and comparative account of the dynamic field of industrial democracy, which is defined to embrace union and worker influence in decision-making in all levels of society.

Deportation Under the Criminal Code and the Immigration Act, 1919-1936 - Dick, Eric Lyle (University of Manitoba, 1978)
The 1919 sedition and deportation ammendments in Canada were not merely the product of anti-radical hysteria induced by the Winnipeg General Strike, but were consistent with the ideological propensity of the Conservative-Unionist and Bennett governments to suppress alien and left-wing dissent. This tendency was reflected in earlier, anti-radical enactments by Borden's government under the War Measures Act, providing, among other things, for the summary internment and deportation of suspected alien radicals. For the most part the stringent measures passed in 1919 represented the conversion of wartime powers to peace-time legislation. The conservative ideology that inspired these amendments was manifested in the vigorous application of deportation powers by immigration and other officials during the Red Scare of 1919-20 and the depression of the early thirties. It was further sustained by the stubborn refusal of the Conservative majority in the Senate to approve repeal legislation repeatedly passed by the House of Commons, even in the context of domestic stability in the 1920s. Ultimately, conservative reaction was superseded by liberalism in the form of civil liberties legislation passed by Mackenzie King's government. The emergence of the repeal of Section 98 of the Criminal Code as a major issue in the 1935 Dominion election and Bennett's corresponding defeat had demonstrated the Canadian public's desire that its governments address themselves, not to the suppression of radicalism, but to the solution of economic problems underpinning social unrest.

And the basic fact is that labour-management relations are human relations, that basic to the conduct of labour relations and the avoidance of industrial disputes is an appreciation of underlying human factors.

Révolution industrielle et travailleurs : une enquête sur les rapports entre le capital et le travail au Québec à la fin du 19e siècle - Harvey, Fernand (Boréal Express, 1978)
C'est au cours des années 1880 que le problème de l'industrialisation s'est posé dans toute son ampleur au Canada et au Québec. À l'approche des élections de 1887, le gouvernement conservateur de J.A. Macdonald crut trouver une solution en instituant une commission royale chargée d'enquêter sur «les relations entre le capital et le travail». Les commissionaires ne se doutaient pas qu'ils s'attaquaient à un au-dessus de leur force. Au terme de leur travaux, ils rédigèrent deux maigre rapports sans grande inspiration et n'offrant aucune vision d'ensemble cohérente. Pourtant la «Commission du travail» présente un intérêt tout à fait exceptionnel. Les procès-verbaux des témoinages recueillis par les commissionaires constitutent sans doute le plus important document oral qui nous soit parvenu sur la condition ouvrière au moment où le Québec entre dans la revolution industrielle. La société québécoise connait alors une véritable mutation qui se manifeste tant au niveau de la technique et de l'économie qu'à celui de la organisation sociale et de la culture. Fernand Harvey analyse ici les diverses composantes de cette mutation en s'appuyant sur une étude fouillée les travaux de la Commission du travail et les conditions générales de l'époche. --Résumé de l'éditeur

The Strikes in Winnipeg in May 1918: The Prelude to 1919? - Johnson, Albert Ernest (University of Manitoba, 1978)
While realizing the necessity of being aware of the work of others, in order to get a reasonably adequate view of the events of May 1918 in Winnipeg, it has been necessary to make extensive use of primary sources, contemporary newspapers, interviews, and archival material. Wherever possible the information closest to the source has been used. Contemporary newspapers have been particularly valuable primary sources because they tended to report in depth about meetings, speeches, agreements, and announcements. Fortunately, by making comparisons with official documents, now available, it has been possible to verify that in general, newspaper reports were reasonably accurate. Except for the Telegram, most newspapers kept their news gathering function quite sharply separated from their editorial function. Interviews have been conducted with the realization that elderly people do not always remember the past as it really was. Their perceptions are, nevertheless, interesting...
