Battling for American Labor

than a little while ago. They will certainly be in dispute because no one form of marxism is agreed; probably sectarian because they will still be small groups lacking power and confined to words. Many changes demanded by the New Left have now been accepted because they met a real situation; others have been abandoned by marxists, being in effect varieties of philosophical idealism. The taking up of overseas fashions in marxism is likely to be le…

First British Commonwealth Labour History Conference
The first conference on the labour history of the British Commonwealth was held in England in September 1981. Its success opens the way to further international meetings in which Australian labour historians will take part. About 40 papers were presented: 15 from Britain, 12 from Australia, two from New Zealand, nine from Canada, and a few others. Hence it was a major event in labour history, even in the present flourishing state of the study. In…

The Bitter Fight
Tom Barker, 1887-1970
Tom Barker died in London on 2 April 1970. Although he spent only four years in Australia, from 1914 to 1918, apart from a short visit in 1931, he made his mark on this country and kept it in his affections throughout his life. His short autobiography, Tom Barker and the I.W.W., was published by the Australian Society for the Study of Labour History in 1965, concentrating on his Australian experiences but giving an outline of his fascinating life…

Symposium
E. C.Fry: What is labour history? Like most widely used terms it is seldom defined exactly. On the one hand we should not be too much worried about this because the currency of the term reflects a fact, that labour history does exist. It is a part of reality which people encounter. Historians encounter it, although many can avert their eyes or keep to paths which skirt it. Members and observers of the labour movement, which also exists despite de…
Parliamentary Papers of Tasmania, 1856-1900, Western Australia, 1890-1900, As a Source of Labour History

The Index in this article refers t…
