  • Some New Zealand Navvies
    Some New Zealand Navvies CO-OPERATIVE WORKERS, 1891—1912* IN 1891 the Minister of Public Works, R. J. Seddon, introduced a new method of manning and supervising railway construction works. He called it a 'co-operative system'. Instead of calling tenders for contracts for public works, departmental engineers costed lengths of line and offered them to gangs of workmen. The contract was made between the department and the gang. The gang was supervised by the engineer in a general way but the work discipline of the gang was self-imposed. Seddon tried the co-operative system on a length of West Coast railway construction in 1891. He reported himself well pleased with the system and it was applied to public works — railways, roads, even buildings — throughout New Zealand during the Liberal period. The Reform Government reduced and modified the system after 1912 but versions of it were used by govern- ment departments between the wars and still are today.1 Every year between 1891 and 1912 several thousand men were employed by the government under the co-operative system. It is worth investigating the system simply to know more about the employment conditions under which so many men worked. The realities of the co-operative system also offer a commentary upon the attitudes and objectives of the government which introduced and maintained the system. The co-operative system has gone into history books as a mildly radical measure, one of the important if lesser of the Liberals' state experiments.2 It certainly looked radical at the outset. The word 'co-operative' in 1891 was linked more with progressive or 'socialist' movements than with dairy factories.
