  • 1 Shades of the Cold War: the Role of Communist Workers at the Midland Railway Workshops Bobbie Oliver, Curtin University Of
    Shades of the Cold War: The role of Communist workers at the Midland Railway Workshops Bobbie Oliver, Curtin University of Technology Although a small minority among the 2500-strong workforce at the Midland Railway Workshops in the 1950s, the Communists were an active group, whose physical focal point was a section of the Machine Shop in Block 3, known as ‘Red Square’, where Jack Marks, a fitter and turner who was an active CPA member, operated a lathe. This paper argues that the activities of Marks and fellow CPA members went far beyond political proselytising and that herein lay their success as union activists. The paper explores the growth of Communism among the workforce at the Midland Workshops; the role of agitators and activists such as Marks in achieving better working conditions, their political and industrial influence upon other unionists, and the response of management. It concludes that the extent of the Communists’ acceptance and popularity among their fellow workers lay in their commitment to every day issues, rather than in their ideological understanding of world events. In 1950 – the year that the Federal Government passed legislation to ban the Communist Party of Australia (CPA) – Rod Quinn entered his training as apprentice Car and Wagon Builder at the Western Australian Government Railway (WAGR) Workshops at Midland. According to Quinn, ‘on the face of it, international events barely affected life in the Workshops [and] life there also barely affected international events’, yet he described his six years at Midland as ‘the birth of my activism’.1 Among the work force, he met men from all over the world, including a former Red Army soldier and prisoner of war, who taught him a few words of Russian.

It was not to be “just another school” but one with a specific program and definite ideas with Christian ethics as its theme. Work by the committee continued and Russell Creek Academy was founded in 1906. The Academy grew and, as a result, became a junior college in 1949 named for the lovely community in which it is located. In October 1957, the Board of Trustees at Campbellsville was authorized to execute its proposal of expanding the College to a four-year institution.

  • Final Reports of the Interim Joint, Special, and Statutory Committees
    FINAL REPORTS OF THE INTERIM JOINT, SPECIAL, AND STATUTORY COMMITTEES 1994-95 Informational Bulletin No. 194 i Legislative Research Commission Frankfort, Kentucky December, 1995 ii FOREWORD The Kentucky Constitution limits the meeting of the General Assembly to sixty legislative days in even-numbered years and to a ten-day organizational session in odd- numbered years. Prior to 1968, there was no activity during the interim period between sessions. The 1970s brought great changes in the legislative setting in Kentucky. The activity of legislative committees has steadily increased during each succeeding interim. With the implementation of the constitutional amendment approved in 1979, the interim activity takes on added significance. This amendment, frequently called the Kenton amendment, changed the election year for legislators from odd- to even-numbered years. Consequently, a legislator serves one year of the term in interim activity before a regular session of the General Assembly is held. With the phased-in implementation of the amendment, the 1984-85 interim marked the first time legislators were elected in even- numbered years and were afforded the opportunity to become familiar with issues and procedures prior to the Regular Session. During the 1994 interim, the Legislative Research Commission authorized the formation of thirteen interim joint committees. In addition, six special committees were established to address particular issues during the interim. Six committees of the General Assembly and the Legislative Research Commission are authorized by statutes: The Administrative Regulation Review Subcommittee, the Capital Planning Advisory Board, the Capital Projects and Bonds Oversight Committee, the Personal Service Contract Review Subcommittee, the Program Review and Investigation Committee, and the Legislative Compensation Commission.
