Sinossi
Excerpt from Report to the Honourable the Postmaster General: Of the Methods Adopted in Canada in the Carrying Out of Government Clothing Contracts
As you can well understand, the conduct of such an investi gation was attended with considerable difficulty. Apart from the time and trouble involved in discovering reliable sources of in formation, the information itself, when imparted, had to be seru tinized with care, and verified, as far as possible, in every material particular. Not having authority to compel testimony or state ments of any kind, I was necessarily dependent upon voluntary evidence, which was given, in many cases, with great reluctance. The facts thus disclosed are none the less valuable, and may pos sibly be regarded as giving additional significance and weight to the conclusions arrived at. For Obvious reasons, I did not feel at liberty to interrogate any of the Government contractors. As the result proved, this was scarcely necessary, as in no instance did I find that the clothing, which was the subject of contract, had been made up entirely upon the premises of the firms which were awarded the work. In every instance the system of sub-contract ing prevailed.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book analyzes the methods employed in Canada to carry out clothing contracts for government departments like the military, post office, and mounted police. It provides a thorough examination of the role of sub-contracting and how it impacted working conditions. The author argues that this system led to the exploitation of workers, particularly women and girls, who were often paid poverty wages and forced to work long hours in unsanitary conditions. The report highlights the lack of proper inspection and enforcement of labour laws, which allowed these abuses to continue. The book contributes to our understanding of labour practices and social conditions in late 19th-century Canada. It offers valuable insights into the challenges faced by workers in the garment industry and the need for government intervention to protect their rights. The author's findings have significant implications for contemporary debates about labour rights and the role of government in ensuring fair and equitable working conditions.
