This volume emphasizes, it seemsto me more explicitly political themes:

, questions of union organizing, classconsciousness and political'orientationsurface repeatedly not only in theintroductions„ but also in the read-

ingss.

On the other hand, the authorscaution us, "this book is not a sub-siItute for political analysis orunion history. These deal with theanatomy of the working class; we have

, tri".,d to shov/ the living bodies. " (p. 2}Again, in conjunction with secondaryhistorical sources, The CanadianWorker in the Twentieth Centaur willbe an extremely useful resource forthose etaching 20th centuryCanadian history,
