 | | Jack Kavanagh was a radical labour activist, born in Ireland, who emigrated to Vancouver in 1908. |
 | | His agitation around the issue of the miners led to an increase in both the prominence of the issue, and in his position in the local labour movement. |
 | | For a detailed biography of Kavanagh, including his later years as an organizer for the Communist party, see David Akers, "Rebel of Revolutionary?: Jack Kavanagh and the Early Years of the Communist Movement in Vancouver, 1920-1925," in Labour/ Le Travail 30, Fall 1992. |
