| Title |
The Cultivation of Healthy Ideas: Labor [sic] Day in the Montreal Press, 1886-1950
|
| Abstract |
The author examines the opinions about labour and class relations expressed in the Labour Day editorials and articles published between 1886 and 1950 in five major Montreal newspapers: The Gazette, The Montreal Star, La Presse, Le Devoir and La Patrie. He maintains that three editorial themes were evident throughout this sixty-five year period: the nobility of work, the destructiveness of strikes, and the necessity of friendly class collaboration. The author argues that despite shifts in emphasis over the period studied, and despite the differences in the personalities of the five newspapers themselves, one purpose underlay all the editorials and articles: to keep the workers in their place within the existing social structure by discouraging them from seeking any fundamental alteration in the distribution of social power.
