	Labour Party
		In 1872 Henry Buckingham Witton, a Hamilton carriage-maker, was elected to the House of Commons as a Conservative candidate, as was Alphonse-Télesphore Lépine, a Montréal leader of the KNIGHTS OF LABOR, in 1888.
		In the early years of the 20th century the TRADES AND LABOR CONGRESS showed a growing interest in political action, and in 1900 A.W., a Winnipeg Labour Party founder, and Ralph SMITH of Nanaimo, BC, TLC president, were both elected to Parliament.

	MHS Transactions: Radical Politics in Winnipeg, 1899-1915
		Winnipeg's workers were not opposed to economic growth per se but to economic growth which appeared to be achieved, in large part, at their expense.
		British-born and much-travelled, Puttee was a printer, who had settled in Winnipeg in 1891 and had taken a leading role in the founding of the trades council, the labour party, and The Voice; by 1899, he was the editor of the paper.
		The party's platform had as its essential object the collective ownership of the means of production, but, at a time when British Columbia socialists had already decided that they could be satisfied with nothing but the destruction of the present order, the manifesto also advocated a number of reforms of capitalism.

	The Winnipeg General Strike (1919): historical context, economic impact and related links
		For more than six tense weeks in the spring of 1919, the residents of Winnipeg witnessed an unprecedented display of labour solidarity when local union and non-union workers from the private and public sectors paralyzed their city in a general strike.
		Early in 1919, Winnipeg became the Canadian epicenter of this agitation when workers in the building and metal trades found both their wage demands and their unions’ standing flatly rejected by their employers.
		Winnipeg’s business class and politicians vehemently opposed the strike, saying that it was the product of “enemy aliens”, smacked of “Bolshevism” and sought to undermine social and political values.

	portland imc - 2003.09.29 - Labour Party Conference-Blairism on the rocks
		Even and despite the decay afflicting the Tory Party, if the Blair government remains on its present path, growing disillusionment and anger mean that electoral turnout will fall again, and, even without a significant recovery by the Tories, Labour could lose enough seats for the Tories to creep back in at the next general election.
		Despite this 'mid-term effect' Labour was able to gain a majority in the Welsh Assembly elections earlier in the year simply by advocating a few minor reforms, most notably the abolition of prescription charges.
		Far more Labour voters protested by not voting - more than half of those who had voted Labour in 2001 did not vote at all - and the same will be the case in the next general election.

		Some of the first goals of organized labour were better working conditions: eliminating the child sweat shops, expanding public education and reducing the number of working hours.
		The labour movement was in the forefront of the struggles for public health care, for public education, for minimum wages and employment conditions.
		Not all media reporting of the labour movement is negative; but whatever journalists have to say about the achievements of trade unions seems to get drowned out in the continual clamour of unfavourable coverage.
