Today in Labor History March 6, 1925: Miners in Cape Breton, Canada, struck against the British Empire Steel Corporation (BESCO). They’d been striking against BESCO regularly for the past 5 years over wage cuts. The 1925 strike lasted 5 months. Company police killed one miner, William Davis. BESCO eventually went bankrupt. These strikes were part of the Canadian Labour Revolt (1918-1925) led by the One Big Union. The Vancouver General Strike (1918) and the Winnipeg General Strike (1919) inspired the OBU and subsequent strikes of the Labor Revolt. The OBU was also influenced by the IWW, the Spartacist Uprising in Germany, and the Communist Revolution in Russia. The OBU was a syndicalist labor union that sought to overthrow capitalism and replace it with a socialist system based on worker control of the workplace.

Election in Cape Breton tied, will be decided by drawing name from box

Two candidates near northeastern tip of Nova Scotia, Canada, each received 35% of the vote (145 votes) — interestingly the votes were all online or by phone so there’s no paper to recount! — and the law says drawing a name from a box is the way to settle it.

I sort of love this small-scale election drama. Nice break from the… [points south of Canada] …other drama.
