Publisher's Synopsis
This work details the activities and organization of the Citizens' Committee of One Thousand during the Winnipeg General Strike of May-June, 1919. This committee, formed by Winnipeg's business and professional elite, opposed the strike and sought to maintain order and essential services. The account provides insight into the committee's strategies, propaganda efforts, and interactions with government and law enforcement during this pivotal moment in Canadian labor history.
The Citizens' Committee's perspective offers a contrasting viewpoint to that of the striking workers, highlighting the deep social and economic divisions of the time. 'The Activities and Organization of the Citizens' Committee of One Thousand in Connection With the Winnipeg Strike May-June, 1919' remains a crucial primary source for understanding the complexities and lasting impact of the Winnipeg General Strike.
