"Weaving It Together": Life Cycle and the Industrial Experience of Female Cotton Workers in Quebec, 1910-1950 - Brandt, Gail Cuthbert (Labour / Le Travail, 1981)
Employs a life cycle framework to analyze women's role in the Quebec cotton industry from 1910-50 with a focus on the textile mill at Valleyfield. Concludes that young women gave all of their income to their parents, that because of this circumstance women remained unmarried until fairly late, that prior to the 1940s women left the workforce after marriage, but, commencing in that decade, women would return to work after marriage, and that with technological change and the increased sexual division of labour, women were more likely to be relegated to less skillful jobs. Also comments on the reasons why women were generally less militant workers. The paper, which is part of a larger investigation, was based on 35 interviews with female cotton workers in Valleyfield, Quebec, supplemented with census data, government reports, archival sources, and newspaper accounts.

Death and Rebirth of the American Mill Town - Dawley, Alan (Labour / Le Travail, 1981)
The problem of power in nineteenth century mill towns rests on a conflict between employer absolutism and the democratic rights of the employees. The treatment of power in recent community studies has been inadequate. This is particularly true in works influenced by symbolic anthropology, where the problem is seen to have been resolved in a consensual value system. However, the persistence of conflict in strikes and disorder compels an examination of the mechanisms of domination, as well as legitimacy. To this end, the ideas of Marx and Weber offer more valuable guidance than those of Durkheim.

Joe Beef of Montreal: Working-Class Culture and the Tavern, 1869-1889 - DeLottinville, Peter (Labour / Le Travail, 1981)
The tavern is one of the most overlooked features of the nineteenth-century urban landscape. This article examines the career of one Montreal tavern keeper to illustrate the intricate connections between drink and working-class culture along the Montreal waterfront. Recreation, social services, and labour activities all relied upon the tavern as a working-class stronghold. By the late 1880s, however, the role of the tavern diminished with changes in the harbour's casual labour market and with the successes of the temperance and urban reform movements. This decline influenced the nature of working-class response to industrial capitalism.

Les relations du travail au Québec : bilan des années 1970 - Hébert, Gérard (Relations Industrielles / Industrial Relations, 1981)
Les règles de base de la négociation collective n'ont guère changé au cours des années 1970. Mais plusieurs de ses paramètres ont considérablement évolué. Le mouvement syndical s'est mor- celé, et radicalisé, en partie. Les nouvelles mesures législatives n'ont pas produit les effets désirés. L'inflation, avec ou sans contrôles, a bouleversé les habitudes de négocier. Le secteur public a pris le pas sur le secteur privé. Le caractère politique de ces rondes majeures risque d'ébranler le régime même de la libre négociation collective, au moins dans ce secteur. Les conventions collectives se sont allongées, et l'approche légaliste s'est accentuée.

The Order of the Knights of Labor played a determining role in the organization of the world of work at the end of the nineteenth century. Social movement more than union than a trade union, the order addressed all workers without consideration of of sex, ethnic or racial origin, and trade qualification. The Order thus represented to industrial capitalism the most important challenge it had to face in North America. In Ontario, this challenge was as much political and cultural as it was economic as well as in economic matters. We present here the history of the Order of the Knights of Labor in Ontario from 1880 to 1902; in the context of the industrial development of the of the industrial development of the province, the internal structures of this movement and the and the actions that it exercised in the economic, political and cultural fields.

Historians, Anthropology, and the Concept of Culture - McKay, Ian (Labour / Le Travail, 1981)
Although Marxist social historians have proclaimed that anthropology provides an analytical framework for modem social history, they have not specified which specific schools of anthropology should be sustained nor which anthropological theories have been validated by historical investigation. Contemporary debates in anthropology and historical anthropology reveal that historical materialism and anthropology use different methods of abstraction and that any marriage of anthropology and historical materialism will produce only conceptual confusion unless these basic differences are taken into account. The problem is seen in its most acute form in the uncritical adoption by social historians of the concept of "culture," which has brought contemporary social history to a theoretical impasse.

Classifying Culture - Palmer, Bryan D. (Labour / Le Travail, 1981)
This essay poses a critique of selected recent writing on American and British working-class culture, arguing against the tendency to categorize culture into discrete ideal types. It argues the importance of locating culture materially and historically, developing a notion of periodization that recognizes particular stages of development and levels of conflict and struggle. As such it poses an implicit rejection of recent Canadian polemics directed against the study of the cultural.

Industrial Relations, Strategic Importance and Decision-Making - Peccei, Riccardo; Warner, Malcom (Relations Industrielles / Industrial Relations, 1981)

The average size of subsidiary and average degree of conflict for each of the divisions were also found to be related in a somewhat unexpected way.

The One Big Union in International Perspective: Revolutionary Industrial Unionism 1900-1925 - Peterson, Larry (Labour / Le Travail, 1981)
This article compares and contrasts the attempts by workers in Britain, France, Germany, the United States, and Canada to organize industrial unions at the beginning of the twentieth century. It starts with the premise that revolutionary industrial unionism was an international phenomenon, arising from similar socioeconomic conditions in the advanced capitalist countries, and that simultaneous movements to found "one big union" of all industrial workers should be seen in this light. The article proceeds to analyze the different views of industrial unionists on the subjects of dual unionism, organization and politics within an overall tendency in favour of one big unionism. It argues that syndicalism was only one faction active in the movement and that revolutionary industrial unionism was much broader in scope than syndicalism. The article further analyzes the social bases of the movement among unskilled workers and specific groups of skilled workers in the mass production industries. Finally, it points out the tactical originality of the movement and why its tactics posed a revolutionary challenge to capitalist control of the economy.

"A Link Between Labour and Learning": The Workers Educational Association in Ontario, 1917-1951 - Radforth, Ian; Sangster, Joan (Labour / Le Travail, 1981)
This paper traces the rise and fall in Ontario of the Workers Educational Association (WEA), a voluntary association whose main purpose was to organize inexpensive, non-credit night classes taught by university professors for the working class. The Association was an offshoot of the British WEA. ln Ontario the main impetus for establishing an Association in 1918 came from members of Toronto's intellectual elite. One of their aims was to teach labour people "responsible behaviour" at a time when the labour movement seemed to be gaining influence and becoming more radical. Working-class people within the WEA proved less malleable than the academics had hoped, and the Association soon became a workers' organization, largely controlled by some of its working-class members. It offered many liberal arts courses and, in the late 1930s and 1940s, developed innovative labour education and research programmes which proved of lasting benefit to the labour movement. Although continually threatened by the University of Toronto administration, the WEA failed in the 1950s because certain labour leaders, using Cold War tactics, opposed a labour educational institution that they could not control.

Rosvall and Voutilainen: Two Union Men Who Never Died - Repo, Satu (Labour / Le Travail, 1981)
This article takes a historical event, which has made a strong impact on a working-class community, and shows how it has become part of the historical consciousness of that community, interpreted in accordance with its value system. The event is the death of two union organizers, Vilho Rosvall and John Voutilainen, in a Port Arthur lumber strike in 1929. The community is the national community of class-conscious Finnish working-class immigrants, organizationally connected by membership in the Finnish Organization of Canada, a left-wing cultural organization. The author reconstructs the event from available historical sources and proceeds to show how this community has viewed it, by reviewing both oral history records and published accounts in union papers and community publications. In looking for reasons why this event has remained significant for this particular community, both Old Country working-class traditions and the Canadian experience of Finnish pre-World War II immigrants has to be considered.

Concludes that the Jewish workers were exceptionally militant during the period.

Gaspé 1760 -1830 : l'action du capital marchand chez les pêcheurs - Samson, Roch (Anthropologie et Sociétés, 1981)
La Gaspésie du XIXe siècle fut un territoire propice à l'investissement des capitaux des marchands des lles Jersey et Guernesey. Avant l'occupation anglaise, l'exploitation française des pêcheries gaspésiennes avait révélé les ressources maritimes abondantes de ce secteur du Golfe Saint-Laurent dont les conditions climatiques estivales avaient favorisé la création d'un produit tout à fait concurrentiel sur les marchés méditerranéens, la morue séchée de Gaspé, connue sous le nom de «Gaspé cure». La conquête ouvrait donc la porte du Golfe aux intérêts britanniques et favorisait l'extension des activités des marchands et armateurs déjà impliqués dans le vaste circuit du commerce atlantique. Cette expansion territoriale, suite d'une conquête militaire, n'entraînait pas automatiquement pour le capital marchand l'extension de son marché. Pour que cette nouvelle zone puisse constituer un nouveau relai dans la circulation de ce capital, il fallait mettre sur pied une structure d'exploitation des ressources qui réponde aux besoins du marché. --Introduction

"Society for the Study of Labour History:" An Anniversary Celebration, London, May 1980 - Friesen, Gerry (Labour / Le Travail, 1980)
Summarizes the 20th anniversary conference of the Society for the Study of Labour History in London on May 31, 1980. Focuses on the plenary session paper of Scottish historian R.J. Morris, who, in critiquing the course of English labour history since 1960, said that the Thompsian preoccupation with class consciousness obscured great areas of class consensus on sex, religion, age group, and ethnicity. The paper drew a number of replies, including from E.P. Thompson, who commented that the key problem with his approach was that it put too little emphasis upon the place of power and the state. Thus, he asked his listeners to recall that the labour movement was, by its very nature, an oppositional force, a shelter or carrier for intellectual currents from anarchism to environmentalism that were from time to time important in political life. Concludes that the feminist critiques of Thompson presented by Barbara Taylor and Sally Alexander were also a harbinger of the shifting terrain of scholarship in the field.

The Crisis of the Craftsman: Hamilton's Metal Workers in the Early Twentieth Century - Heron, Craig (Labour / Le Travail, 1980)
This article describes the state of the two largest metal-working crafts in Hamilton at the end of the nineteenth century - the moulders and the machinists; the efforts of their employers to challenge the craftsmen's shop-floor power in order to transform their factories into more efficient, centrally managed workplaces; and the response of the craft workers to this crisis. The analysis of this response emphasizes the ambivalence of the artisanal legacy for the working class: on the one hand, an impassioned critique of the more dehumanizing tendencies of modernizing industry; on the other, an exclusivist strategy which aimed at defending only their craft interests. This experience suggests that the sweeping changes in the work process that accompanied the rise of monopoly capitalism in Canada prompted a highly fragmented response from the working class.

The International Woodworkers of America in British Columbia, 1942-1951 - Lembcke, Jerry (Labour / Le Travail, 1980)
From 1942 to 1951, the British Columbia District Council of the International Woodworkers of America (IWA) was embroiled in a battle for political control. The lines of conflict were drawn between a left-wing "Red Bloc" and an anti-communist "White Bloc." By the early 1950s the left wing had been defeated. Irving Abella has explained the demise of the Left through reference to errors made by communist leaders and reference to the native B.C. lumber workers' disdain for communist trade unionism. This article challenges Abella on both counts. The article situates the anti-communist movement in the political currents extant in Canada at the time and concludes that the secession of the left-led B.C. District from the International in 1948 was less a failure of leadership than it was a last-ditch attempt to preserve the District's autonomy. The article argues that the rank-and-file did not abandon its communist leaders but was forcefully separated from its leaders by the anti-communist movement within the CCL-CIO and by the repressive power of the State.

Toronto Metal Workers and the Second Industrial Revolution, 1889-1914 - Roberts, Wayne (Labour / Le Travail, 1980)
This paper examines the transformation of the Toronto metal trades in the period from the 1890s through to World War I, a period which is characterized as a "second industrial revolution." The second industrial revolution dramatically intensified and expanded the processes unleashed during the first industrial revolution, which situated production in factories, harnessed mechanical power to production, and subjected labour power to capitalist discipline. The second industrial revolution, particularly because it was identified with the rise of integrated monopoly corporations, reduced the power and status of skilled tradesmen. Nevertheless, in the period before World War I, neither managerial nor technical innovations were able to obliterate the artisanal heritage of the metal industry. This uneven development of the industry accounted for the unstable and contradictory patterns of work organization, skill preservation, industrial conflict, worker militance, and radicalism that prevailed in the industry.

The Origins of the Employment Service of Canada, 1900-1920 - Sautter, Udo (Labour / Le Travail, 1980)
Government run employment agencies are usually regarded as a feature of the modem welfare state. Their appearance in Canada before World War I, however, was not really due to welfare-related concerns. By far the most extensive operations were the immigration services of the federal and various provincial governments. Other labour exchanges were started by Ontario and Quebec, but remained insignificant political ventures. During the war, when the demand for manpower could not be satisfied, the provincial networks grew in importance. The federal government contemplated increasing its own endeavours, but it took the threat of social unrest at the end of hostilities to persuade it to create the Employment Service of Canada.

The Stanyan Ropeworks of Halifax, Nova Scotia: Glimpses of a Pre-Industrial Manufactory - Sutherland, David (Labour / Le Travail, 1980)
Introduces three documents from the Stanyan Ropeworks in Halifax from the 1840s: terms of an indentured apprenticeship; terms and regulations of the Stanyan Ropeworks; and payroll lists. Provides a history of the establishment, which was founded in 1826-27 by merchant capitalists Temple and Lewis Piers, who recruited Scottish spinners and their families to serve as the workforce. The business closed in the mid-1850s shortly after it was sold. Concludes that the documents are indicative of a key transitional stage between the 18th century artisanal workshop and the Victorian factory.
