A considerable part of

Those Stormy Years is
devoted to George Hardy’s ex-
periences in B. C. — his deter-
mined fight to organize team-
sters, lumber workers and
others and his efforts to find
the correct course among the
various syndicalist and social-
ist currents influencing the
workers of the period.

For these reasons, because
he was shaped in the early
struggles of B.C. labor, the
progressive labor movement
of this province can rightfully
claim him as one of the men
who founded its own proud
tradition.

George Hardy was one of
British Columbia’s pioneer
trade unionists at a time when
the Conservative government

of Sir Richard McBride, serv- |

ing the interests of the coal
and lumber barons, was intent
on strangling every effort
made by the workers to organ-
ize unions, whether through
the American Federation of
Labor or the Industrial Work-
ers of the World and Hardy
served faithfully and well in
the building of both.

Those Stormy Years recalls
the old timers who were his as-
sociates in the struggle for
unionization and __ socialist
thinking — E. T. Kingsley:
pioneer socialist and labor e@-
itor; J. C. Waters of Victoria
Trades and Labor Council; J:
B. King, stormy petrel of the

IWW; and many others.
