@ A considerable part of
Those Stormy Years 15
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

the American Federation of
Labor or the Industrial Work-
ers of the World and Hardy
served faithfully and well iP |.
