Jim asked me to re-send this file to the listserv. It unintentionally omitted one name: Baldemar Velasquez (FLOC) as a possible keynote speaker.

Subject: 1919/2019 conference roundtable and keynote names proposed to date
Hi all,
Here is the list of names proposed thus far that I agreed to compile. Apologies for any omissions.
Some people listed under one roundtable might be suitable for another roundtable too.
For those who weren't at Saturday's meeting: we have until Dec. 31 to propose other names for consideration.
Cheers,
David

Hi everyone.
Enclosed please find a bio for Phillip Jennings, the General Secretary of the global union, UNI, I mentioned him briefly on Saturday. I have met him but do not know him well, I have seen him speak and believe he would do a great job as a keynote speaker for our conference.
Regards,
Paul

Hi again. Apologies for the confusion. To be clear, the formal listserv is being created. However, I got the impression on Saturday that some people wanted to move on things, so I decided to forward the most up-to-date list I have.

Hi Paul,
I've received your e-mails but I don't see a listserv address (e.g. 1919conference-l(a)umanitoba.ca<mailto:1919conference-l@umanitoba.ca>)
In my view, we need a real listserv on the U of M system, not a string of addresses.

Hi all.
You may already have received a version of this morning, but I was having trouble with Krishna's email. Things are looking pretty tidy on my end, but there are a range of email account types (e.g. mts, gmail, cupe), so there may be some variance in encryption, etc.

Subject: Fwd: Undeliverable: Sources on Winnipeg Strike
A few years ago, I was doing research on a different topic and came across some eyewitness accounts of the Winnipeg general strike that might not be known to people who have researched it. My subject was the Criminal Anarchy trials of five leaders of the Communist Labor Party in New York City in 1920.
In each of the four trials, there was extensive testimony from a participant in the Winnipeg strike. In the first trial of Ben Gitlow, the testimony was given by Major Furry Ferguson Montague, who was part of a veteran's committee doing police work during the strike. In the other three trials, the testimony was from George Robert Lovatt, who represented the policeman's union on the strike committee. The most extensive Winnipeg testimony was given in the last of the trials , of Charles Ruthenberg and Isaac E. Ferguson.
I know that in recreating the circumstances of those New York trials, I was always excited to find some new source, especially a contemporaneous one. So I decided to convey the existence of these possibly unexplored accounts of the Winnipeg strike to people doing historical work on it. Please forward this to anyone who might find it useful.

Hi All:
I hope I do not sound like a nag, but I am a bit concerned about the sorry state of the conference website. Now that the CFP has been sent to many organizations, people will be accessing the website and its' frankly a bit embarrassing. It does have the CFP, which is beautiful, but there's literally nothing else on the page. I suspect that's not going to inspire much enthusiasm, or even confidence in the overall organization of the conference, and is unlikely to encourage people to submit proposals or consider attending.
I checked with Krishna, and it turns out he still does not have access to the website. I'm pretty sure that when he does, he will work wonders. But he will need access.
I understand he does not yet have a contract. Might that be the problem? I think there are some details that are not quite clear to me; perhaps others know more?
Best,
julie

Good news on the keynote speaker activity. James has confirmed with Arundhati Roy's agent that she is available and he is undertaking to help arrange other speaking dates for her in Canada that would enable her to do our conference as part of a tour. He thinks that, with enough dates on her tour, we could get her for 15K plus a share of travel costs.
Of course, we should continue thinking about a conference-only keynote speaker in case this doesn't work out, but it's good to know that progress is being made.

Hi all,
An academic librarian originally from Winnipeg contacted me about possibly presenting, with the draft abstract below, and wanted to know if we might
be interested in receiving such a proposal. Any thoughts?
Cheers,

Libraries, Labour, and the Strike.
The library, whether public or academic, can be a site of public engagement, but only if it recognizes its position between the public and the institutions of the state. Embedded within municipalities, including the City of Winnipeg, and institutions of higher learning, like the Universities of Winnipeg and Manitoba, but in many ways independent of both, libraries have the power and capacity to provide access to historical content and the context in which to understand that content. But libraries can only be successful at this if they give up the myth of neutrality, and take a committed, principled stand on class, workers' history, and lived experience. This presentation will outline some of the opportunities and challenges to libraries in the specific context of the Winnipeg General Strike.

Thanks, Paul, for setting up the listserv.
I've sent the Call for Papers to the following:
- Canadian Association for Work and Labour Studies (CAWLS)
- Canadian Committee on Labour History (CCLH)
- Labor and Working-Class History Association (LAWCHA)
- H-Net (so it should soon be appearing on the H-Labor and H-Canada lists)
Let me know if you can think of other places to send it. And if you send it out to an organization or a listserv yourself, please let us know on the listserv, so that we are not bombarding anyone with announcements.
