Sullivan Agent Confesses, [1948]

The National Seaman’s Association was a labour recruiter hiding behind a union-like name. It was run by H.N. McMaster who collected fees from companies and dues from workers. With McMaster in charge, shipping interests could claim that their seamen had a union, but ship-owners were free to push their vessels and their workers to the breaking point. In 1935, the members on the Great Lakes decided to strike. One year later, they created their own union and amalgamated with a Montreal-based independent body to create the Canadian Seamen’s Union headed by a ship’s cook who became a union leader, John Allan Patrick “Pat” Sullivan. By the late 1940s, almost all sailors on Canadian ships were CSU members. Right from its inception in 1936, Communists were prominent among the leaders of the union. Sullivan had been recruited to the Communist party that year and the union had a close rapport with the party. On June 8, 1940, Pat Sullivan was arrested because of his affiliation with the Communist party. He was incarcerated until March 20, 1942. No charges were laid, no bail was set and there was no trial. After his release, Sullivan was elected second vice-president of the Trades and Labour Congress of Canada. In 1943, Percy Bengough was elected as president and Sullivan was elected as secretary treasurer of the TLC while maintaining his role as president of the CSU. On March 14, 1947 Sullivan made a shocking announcement that he was resigning from the CSU and the Labor-Progressive Party. He claimed that the CSU was under the full control of the Communists. Within a month of this announcement, he emerged as the president of the Canadian Lake Seamen’s Union. Ship-owners never really reconciled themselves to having their industry unionized, and in 1946 there was a seamen’s strike in which the union won the eight-hour day. In 1949, the shipping companies had a plan to get rid of the union and were negotiating behind their back with the Seafarers International Union (SIU). In a brutal confrontation, led by Hal Banks, an American ex-convict, the SIU was able to roust the CSU and take over the bargaining rights of Canadian seamen. On July 15, 1948, Robert Lindsay, who was Sullivan’s Welland business agent said that to the best of his knowledge, Sullivan’s outfit, the CLSU, was under the control of some of the Steamship Companies. Lindsay had heard that there was a movement to get rid of Bengough of the Trades and Labour Congress as well as elements of the CSU. He also had heard that the CLSU wanted to affiliate with the American Federation of Labor. Lindsay’s allegations raised the questions: Were the ship-owners powerful enough to oust Percy Bengough because he supported the seamen? Could the CLSU get an affiliation with the American Federation of Labor? and Would the American Federation of Labor actually affiliate with a union that was siding with employers against a locked-out union?

Johns-Manville (Canada) records, 1949-1977 (non-inclusive).

The Johns-Manville Company was founded in 1901with the merging of the H.W. Johns Manufacturing Company and the Manville Covering Company. Both companies made building materials using asbestos. The new company was based in New York, New York, and made products such as insulation and roofing materials, automotive sheet packing for cylinders, asbestos/cement, acoustical and magnesia products. Significant restructuring has occurred over the years as the company shifted from production of asbestos products to other types of building materials, such as fibre glass and forest products. Since 2001, the Johns-Manville Company has been owned by Berkshire Hathaway. The company began operations in Canada in 1918 in Asbestos, Quebec, where the Jeffrey Asbestos Mine was located. A Canadian plant opened in Port Union, Scarborough Township, in 1956, and another in North Bay, Ontario, in 1957. Both of these plants have since closed. The company currently has two plants in Canada, in Innisfail, Alberta, and Cornwall, Ontario.

The Rise and Decline of the East German Economy, 1949-1989.

Why do some organizations decline while other do not? to study this issue , we introduce technological change into a theory of agency proposed by Laffont and Tirole. We show that the optimal organizational form for production depends on the estent of scale ecoomies and on the cost of monitoring workers. When the discrepancy between ideal and actual forms becomes too great, an organization's viability is threatened. We test this structuralist hypothesis for East and west Gemany over the 1949-1989 period. east Germany's relative decline is explained by an institutional structure the proved incompatible with technological change favoring smaller, flatter organizations.

Jeunes filles mineures traduites devant la Cour des jeunes délinquants de Montréal de 1912 à 1949 : problèmes et procédure judiciaire

L’objectif de ce mémoire est de décrire et expliquer le traitement des jeunes filles traduites devant la Cour des jeunes délinquants de Montréal durant toute la période de son existence, soit de 1912 à 1950. Une analyse statistique a tout d’abord été utilisée sur un échantillon de 1 465 jeunes filles pour lesquelles nous avions des données quantitatives provenant du plumitif de la cour. Une analyse documentaire a ensuite été utilisée sur un sous-échantillon de 126 mineures pour lesquelles nous avions accès aux divers documents contenus dans leur dossier judiciaire. L’analyse met particulièrement en évidence la différence d’application de la loi en fonction du sexe des mineurs traduits devant la cour. Les jeunes filles sont poursuivies pour des motifs différents de ceux pour lesquels on poursuit les garçons : elles sont particulièrement poursuivies pour des infractions spécifiques aux mineurs telles que l’incorrigibilité, les infractions à caractère sexuel, la désertion ou la protection. Les garçons, quant à eux, sont davantage poursuivis pour des infractions prévues au Code criminel (notamment le vol). Les mineures sont plus souvent amenées devant la cour par leurs parents plutôt que par les officiers de la cour et se voient imposer des mesures différentes de celles qu’on impose aux garçons pour une même infraction. Le placement est ainsi plus fréquemment utilisé chez les filles que chez les garçons et la probation plus fréquemment utilisée chez ces derniers. La définition de ce qui pose problème chez ces mineures et les solutions souhaitables pour y remédier varient en fonction des différents acteurs (les agents de probation, les officiers de la cour, les parents et les mineures elles-mêmes).
