Many persons contributed in some l^¡ay to it, not the least of whom being my friends who kept prodding ne to finish it. While I will thank them collectively, the assistance of others demands to be singled out. My research in Eastern Canada was made possible by two generous travel grants by the committee of the J.S. Ewart Memorial Travel Fund. The staff archivists of the Public Archives of Canada in Ottawa and the Archives of Ontario in Toronto were very courteous and helpfu1. I am grateful to Mr. Robert Kenny of Toronto, who pernitted ne to examine the A.E. Snith Papers in his possession. I would also like to thank my typist, Mrs. Lea Marchand, who suffered through many convoluted insertions and deletions in the nanuscrípt. I am indebted to my adviser, Professor J.E. Rea, who suggested many sources and provided incisive criticism through two draughts. His continued support and encouragement over the last three years has been very inportant to ne, and is sincerely appreciated. 1 l_1 Abstract The 1919 sedition and deportation amendnents in Canada were not nerely the product of anti-radical hysteria induced by the Winnipeg General Sirike, 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 Bordents governnent under the War Measures Act, providing, among other things, for the summary internnent and de- portation of suspected alíen radícals. For the most part the stringent measuïes passed in 1919 represented the conversion of wartime powers to peace-tine legislation. The conservatíve ideology that inspired these amendments was manifested in the vigorous application of deportation powers by iruni- gïation 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 donestic stability in the 1920s. Ultimately, conservative reaction was superseded by liberalism in the form of civil liberties legislation passed by Mackenzie King's go- vernment. The emergence of the repeal of Section 98 of the Criminal Code as a major issue in the 1935 Dominion election and Bennettrs correspon- iv V ding defeat had denonstrated the Canadian public's desire that its go' vernments address themselves, not to the suppression of radicalisn, but to the solution of economic problens underpinning social unrest.

The Committee on Manitoba’s Labour History, a group of trade unionists and labour historians has supervised the selec- tion and publication of illustrated books and booklets since 1985. Each title portrays a different aspect of Manitoba’s labour history. It is the Committee’s hope that these publications will make all Manitobans more aware of the vital contributions made to the life of this province by the women and men who worked on the farms and in the mines, mills, factories, cities, towns, homes and offices of Manitoba.

    THE IWW IN CANADA............by G. Jewell 1975, IWW General Administration /Chicago GENERAL INTRODUCTION Established in 1886, the American Federation of Labor had by the turn of the century secured its domination over North American organized labour. True, the federation was still a shaky affair; the AFL - interested primarily in "respectable" craft unions -- refused to organize the great bulk of industrial workers. But with the Knights of Labor (the first genuine, albeit mystical attempt to bring all workers together under one all-embracing organization) everything but buried, and industrial unions like the American Railway Union destroyed and the Western Federation of Miners under increasing attack by the mine owners, the AFL managed to establish hegemony and either batter down or absorb all rivals. This craft union hegemony existed in Canada as well as the United States. The original Canadian unions -- insular and indecisive -- failed. The same fate met the first mass- industrial union from the U.S., the Knights. In 1902, the Trades and Labour Congress, already the leading force in Canadian labour and controlled by the AFL union branches in Canada, expelled from its ranks all Canadian national unions, British internationals, and the Knights of Labor. The opposition formed a Canadian Federation of Labour (CFL) but it never amounted to much. Prospects seemed clear for the TLC and, behind it, Samuel Gompers, U.S. president of the AFL. Yet only three years were to pass before the IWW emerged as a revolutionary challenge. BIRTH OF THE IWW The Industrial Workers of the World (IWW) was founded in 1905 in Chicago.

  • Labourism and the Canadian Working Class
    Labourism and the Canadian Working Class Craig Heron LABOURISM HAS BEEN THE neglected child of the Canadian left. Between the 1880s and the 1920s workers frequently appeared in electoral campaigns across Canada as "Labour" candidates; yet for most of the past half-century this movement has languished in a dimly lit corner of Canadian intellectual inquiry, while historians and social scientists lavished attention on its ideological step­ sisters, angry agrarianism, saintly Fabianism, and feisty Marxism.1 Recently the flood of new research into individual working-class communities in Canada in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries has brought to light the particular histories of several local Labour parties. The essay will attempt to draw together this scattered research, to outline how, where, and when labourism strode onto the political stage, and to scrutinize its ideological com­ plexion more carefully. The purpose of this exercise is to suggest that labourism was a distinct ideological form in Canadian politics, resembling but differing from agrarian populism, contemporary liberalism, and socialism, and the brand of social democracy which emerged after 1930. It was, moreover, the main ideological current in independent working-class politics east of the Rockies before 1920, and thus deserves to be rescued from its relative obscurity and neglect. 1 Most often labourism appears in hasty, often inaccurate first chapters of books on the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation, or as faint background to the biographies of early CCF leaders like J.S. Woodsworth or William Irvine; e.g., Kenneth McNaught, A Prophet in Politics: A Biography of J.S. Woodsworth (Toronto 1959), and Anthony Mardiros, William Irvine: The Life of a Prairie Radical (Toronto 1979).
