accolades from non-academics
by Julie Guard 13 May '19

13 May '19

Hello, all: I understand if no one is reading email from this address for a while, but I thought I would pass on a written compliment from a non-academic participant to the conference. It is similar to others I have heard, and I am thinking here only of community people who are not academics. I think it was clear that the academics enjoyed it, but this is a little different. It suggests that we succeeded in making the event accessible. My contact wrote this: I thoroughly enjoyed the conference, the speakers and came away with a better understanding of the strike and how it was formed. julie Julie Guard Professor, History and Labour Studies Office: 117 Isbister Building Mailing address: 218 Isbister Building University of Manitoba 183 Dafoe Road Winnipeg MB R3T 2N2 Phone: 204-474-7110 Email: julie.guard(a)umanitoba.ca<mailto:julie.guard@umanitoba.ca>

30 Apr '19

Hi all, Our next meeting is this coming Sunday at 1:30. The University of Winnipeg is pretty much closed. Enter through Centennial (at the South End) and go to security; they will take us up to our regular room (2B23) to meet. Try to be on time (at 1:30). It’ll probably make it easier.

Re: [1919-Conference] Regrets and consent form

Hi Scott, I’m copying this to the committee since I’m not really on top of the recording issue. As I remember it, the conditions were simply that he record it for us, giving us, and Jane, final approval of any edits to the recording. We would own it, but once it is posted, he could show it on his youtube channel. For this we would pay him. I forget how much, but we didn’t think he would charge us very much. Does anyone remember if we discuss a concrete figure? I my memory correct, everyone. Please chime in.

This association was a community-based women’s organization with ties to the communist and social democratic left that, from 1937 until the early 1950s, led a broadly based popular movement for state control of prices and made other far-reaching demands on the state. As radical consumer activists, the Housewives engaged in gender-transgressive political activism that challenged the government to protect consumers’ interests rather than just those of business while popularizing socialist solutions to the economic crises of the Great Depression and the immediate postwar years. Julie Guard’s exhaustive research, including archival research and interviews with twelve former Housewives, recovers a history of women’s social justice activism in an era often considered dormant and adds a Canadian dimension to the history of politicized consumerism and of politicized materialism. Radical Housewives reinterprets the view of postwar Canada as economically prosperous and reveals the left’s role in the origins of the food security movement. Julie Guard is professor of history and labour studies at the University of Manitoba.

Just to recap, I am just wondering if I may send my director Erika MacPherson to film a couple panelists at the conference? We are producing a small documentary for CBC Manitoba about the monument being created to commemorate the 1919 strike - this of course is the monument of the tipped over railcar from Bloody Saturday which will go up at Market Square. To illustrate the continuity to today, filming some current issues and events would help the supporting story for the documentary. Erika would like to come on her own [no camera crew] with a camera to film some of your panelists [only with their prior permission of course]. Please let me know if this is something you could support. I am happy to answer any questions you may have. Many thanks for your consideration, [Prairie Boy eSignature - Orlando Braun]<http://www.prairieboyproductions.com>

mini-book launch proposal
by Julie Guard 17 Apr '19

17 Apr '19

Hi All: I haven't given this much thought until now, having been up to my eyeballs in teaching and then marking, but I am guessing that there must be a 30-minute space on the program for me to have a mini-launch of my recently published book, Radical Housewives: Price Wars and Food Politics in Mid-Twentieth Century Canada. It came out in March and has not yet been launched, and I would love to have an opportunity to launch it at our conference. I was thinking there would be a half-hour when we gather at the Goodwill. I could set up a table and give a short description and people who were, for some strange reason, uninterested could talk in a different section of the room. Or maybe there's another spot on the program I haven't thought of. What do people think? julie Julie Guard Professor, History and Labour Studies Office: 117 Isbister Building Mailing address: 218 Isbister Building University of Manitoba 183 Dafoe Road Winnipeg MB R3T 2N2 Phone: 204-474-7110 Email: julie.guard(a)umanitoba.ca<mailto:julie.guard@umanitoba.ca>

JANE MCALEVEY RE: FILMING DURING HER PRESENTATION/LIVE-STREAMING
by Krishna Lalbiharie 16 Apr '19

Read her comments below. She’s fine with filming, but also asks that we clip soundbitey bits from the larger piece for social media uploads. She says, overall, that she “really doesn’t care” re: live-streaming, but slightly prefers if we don’t.

On the other hand, I don’t really care. What I do ask is that whoever does the video makes themselves available to me for 2-3 small versions of 2-3 minutes of my choosing, shortly after the event. Meaning, I am starting to get these little video snippets that people apparently find useful by asking groups that tape me to let me look at it, pick the best points I make, and, post them to twitter and on my website. For Twitter, it’s max 2 minute clips (Jane learning this shit later in life is so annoying). But if there’s a good point made that might be valuable for the masses, it might be up to 5 minutes and posted on my website. > > IF that’s OK, that whoever your person is does it, great. > > And if you and the committee reeeeallly want it live streamed, that’s OK, too. > > Not really breathing till May 3. > > Cheers > > www.janemcalevey.com > @rsgexp > >

Hello all, Paul Moist gave an excellent presentation at our library series today, and to yet another full house, despite the bad press related to security checks and the Jets white-out party preparations that began at 10:00 am. Well done Paul! Sharon Sharon Reilly

Communicative Memories panel
by Janis Thiessen 10 Apr '19

Two corrections to this panel: 1. I thought I was chairing this one — it’s a roundtable of folks I interviewed about their ancestors’ strike participation. 2. As for participants, all but Lisa McGifford have said that they can attend. Thank you! Janis

FW: tabling opportunity
by James Naylor 09 Apr '19

09 Apr '19

Hi everyone, I'm forwarding an email from Gina McKay about a "United Way Winnipeg & Labour" table at the conference. I had meant to bring this up at the meeting, but forgot. My feeling is that I think this is fine. It does raise some policy issues, though, for the conference. First is, if they are in the publishers' exhibit area, should they have to pay the $200 - my feeling is no. Where this becomes an issue is if other groups want an information table. As yet, we haven't had any requests from political groups, etc., for tables. But what if we do? My feeling is that we have to allow them to display, but in a hallway somewhere. Is the United Way different? Might others be different? This may turn out to be a non-issue, but I thought it worth raising and sounding people out.

I will be attending as a delegate already, and am a volunteer with the 1919 events committee, but wanted to reach out to help make connections for delegates to our Labour Program services, our national labour education & training opportunities with the Cdn Labour Congress, our social stewarding resource app across Canada (and in Manitoba: mb.211.ca), etc. I think it is a great opportunity to help build stronger relationships with the communities we live and work in, and I'm hoping that you might consider this opportunity. We also have created a window display timeline of Labour & the building and funding of the social service sector in Winnipeg that will be launched in early May that might be of interest to delegates. I have connected with Anna Rothney already about including information for the conference delegate kits, but with that said, I could also see if we might be able to bring along a few of our mounted panels of artifacts and images to have on display. It might be a great eye catching way to make a local, community connection to social justice activism, the work sector, and the supports and resources for our labour movement. Thank you for considering the opportunity and ask. I look forward to hearing from you! Solidarity, Gina McKay Gina McKay Labour Director United Way Winnipeg 580 Main Street, Winnipeg, MB R3B 1C7 Ph.

Bus tour issue
by James Naylor 08 Apr '19

08 Apr '19

Here's our latest issue. There seems to be an issue of capacity for the bus tours. According those working on it, we are limited to smaller busses (max: 38 passengers), and to four busses. This means, of course, only 152 places. We can discuss this a bit on this listserv, but if that's the case, it's fewer than the number registrants. Clearly we cannot offer the tours to the public. The finance committee will discuss the cost implications of this and report back. Finally, Krishna, can you remove the "open to the public" designation beside the bus tours on the webpage? Thanks, Jim James Naylor Professor Department of History Brandon University 270 18th Street Brandon, MB R7A 6A9 Canada Office: 204 727 9664 Cell: 204 720 2117 Naylor(a)BrandonU.ca<mailto:Naylor@BrandonU.ca> people.brandonu.ca/naylorj/<https://people.brandonu.ca/naylorj/> [cid:image001.png@01D1CCA7.E31D2D80]

Registering for the bus tours
by James Naylor 07 Apr '19

07 Apr '19

I’ve been thinking of issues related to the bus tours, and before we put up the on-line registration for the them, we need to determine the maximum number of seats that we will be making available. Unfortunately, neither Paul nor Sharon could make yesterday’s meeting, as you know, but I want to catch them up on the conversation. The Riley Fund Grant is no longer covering the Thursday evening event at the Ukrainian Labour Temple since our registration has reached a point that that the capacity of the venue no longer makes it feasible to have it open to the public, which the grant stipulates. That event has to come out of our general funds. It does free up Riley money for the Wednesday opening and the bus tours. The Riley grant is relatively stringent in saying that not only does an event have to be free and open to the public, we cannot prioritize conference goers. We discussed how to work this, and we will make an on line registration system available to all, and advertise it, for the same day. We do, however, want to try to ensure that the conference goers, at least if they act relatively quickly, have a good shot at getting on the busses. That means we want to, and can afford, to have more busses available. We recognize some congestion at some of the sites, but we should try to figure out how to handle this, if we can, and busses will be staggered, any least a bit, since it takes some time to get people on them. We could even say that a couple of the busses leave 20 or 30 minutes later than the first. What I need to know, relatively quickly, what the cut off number is for the bus tours, since we can register people beyond the number of places available. This is more or less up to Sharon and Paul who have been working on this.
