These attitudes reached their peak in the reference made to “eliminating a cancer from the rural parish” when there was talk of transferring the industrial housing areas on the edge of the town to the parish of Kemi itself.
The socialism associated with the industrial population and its stigmatization as an evil bunch of people were further factors that fostered a disparaging view of this sector of society and discouraged people from subordinating their lives to the rhythm of the factory whistle.
