Unreferenced date October 2007 The Winnipeg Labour Party was a reformist organization in Winnipeg, Manitoba Winnipeg , Manitoba , Canada , representing labour interests. Founded in 1896, it was based on an earlier Winnipeg organization known as the Independent Labour Party in Manitoba I Independent Labour Party which was influenced by the Independent Labour Party British party of the same name , but was not formally connected to any other group . The party initially received support from both socialists and conservative trade unionists, and succeeded in electing Arthur Puttee to the Canadian House of Commons in the Canadian federal election, 1900 1900 federal election . The WLP was hostile to radical militancy in the labour movement, however, and lost the support of many socialists in the years which followed. The WLP nominated two candidates for the provincial election of 1903 William Scott in Winnipeg Centre and Robert Thoms in Winnipeg North . Both finished well behind their Progressive Conservative Party of Manitoba Conservative and Manitoba Liberal Party Liberal opponents. Puttee was defeated in the Canadian federal election, 1904 1904 election , but he continued to promote labour causes in his newspaper, The Voice .

Unreferenced date October 2007 Before World War I, there were at least two organizations in Winnipeg calling themselves the Independent Labour Party . The first of these was set up by British trade unionists in 1895, and collapsed soon thereafter. The second was created in 1906, following a visit to the city from Ramsay MacDonald . The party received support from members of Arthur Puttee s Winnipeg Labour Party , which had been moribund since 1904. Like other groups of the same name, this Independent Labour Party was a reformist organization. It was opposed by members of the more radical Socialist Party of Canada . The ILP nominated Kempton McKim to contest the riding of Winnipeg West in the provincial election of 1907. McKim called for labour standards legislation and the public ownership of utilities. He was defeated by Thomas Johnson, a popular figure from the left wing of the Manitoba Liberal Party Liberal Party . In 1908, some members agitated for the ILP to officially declare itself as socialist. They were opposed by another group, led by moderate reformer Fred Dixon later a member of the provincial legislature . The controversy split the party, which ceased to exist as a viable organization after June 1908. The reformist faction of the ILP regrouped as the Manitoba Labour Party for the Manitoba general election, 1910 1910 provincial election . In 1914 15, candidates nominated by the Labour Representation Committee in Manitoba Labour Representation Committee officially ran for the Independent Labor Party , even though no formal organization of that name seems to have existed at the time.

The Labour Representation Committee was a reformist labour organization in Manitoba , Canada , and was the ideological successor to groups such as the Winnipeg Labour Party , the Independent Labour Party Manitoba I Independent Labour Party and the Manitoba Labour Party . It was founded in late 1912, and was based on a Labour Representation Committee British organization of the same name . The LRC cooperated with the Social Democratic Party of Canada in the municipal elections of 1913, and the two parties did not compete against each other in the 1914 provincial election. This was a marked contrast to the hostility which had previously existed between reformist labour groups and the Socialist Party of Canada from which the SDPC had split . The party s candidates in 1914 were W.J. Bartlett Assiniboia Manitoba riding Assiniboia and R.S. Ward Elmwood Manitoba riding Elmwood . All of these candidates placed third, behind their Progressive Conservative Party of Manitoba Conservative and Manitoba Liberal Party Liberal opponents. Fred Dixon was not a candidate of the LRC in 1914, but sympathized with most of its goals and was from the same reformist tradition. Unofficially supported by many in the LRC, Dixon was elected as an independent candidate in a Winnipeg constituency. For the provincial election of 1915, the LRC supported the two SDPC candidates in Winnipeg North one of whom was successful , and also nominated William Bayley in Assiniboia. Bayley finished ahead of John Thomas Haig , the riding s Tory incumbent, and came within 55 votes of defeating Liberal John Wilton. Dixon again ran as an independent. The candidates nominated by the LRC in 1914 15 officially ran as Independent Labour . This organization dissolved after the election of 1915. Three years later, some of its supporters including Dixon and Arthur Puttee started the Dominion Labour Party in Manitoba Dominion Labour Party in Winnipeg .

The Manitoba Labour Party MLP was a reformist, non Marxist labour party in Manitoba , Canada . It was created in early May 1910 as a successor to the province s second Independent Labour Party in Manitoba I Independent Labour Party 1906 08 . Former Member of Parliament A.W. Puttee was a leading MLP organizer. The party fielded one candidate in the Manitoba general election, 1910 1910 provincial election , and also ran candidates at the municipal level. The party s founding convention declared that the ultimate object of attainment shall be to preserve to the worker the full product of his toil . The ambiguity of this statement was criticized by the more radical Socialist Party of Canada SPC , which called for collective ownership in industry. After the SPC nominated candidates for Winnipeg North Manitoba riding Winnipeg North and Winnipeg West Manitoba riding Winnipeg West in the 1910 provincial election, the MLP sought to prevent confrontation and vote splitting by fielding only one candidate of their own Fred Dixon in Winnipeg Centre Manitoba riding Winnipeg Centre . Dixon was a moderate reformer, and campaigned in an unofficial alliance with the Manitoba Liberal Party . He was bitterly opposed by the SPC, which belatedly nominated W.S. Cummings to run against him as a spoiler. Dixon lost to the Progressive Conservative Party of Manitoba Conservative Party incumbent, Thomas Taylor Manitoba politician Thomas Taylor , by seventy three votes. Cummings s ninety nine votes may have made the difference in the outcome. The SPC was widely blamed for Dixon s loss, and became marginalized in Winnipeg s labour community for the next eight years. The Manitoba Labour Party dissolved after the 1910 election. In 1912, its leaders formed the Manitoba Labour Representation Committee .

Unreferenced date July 2008 The Dominion Labour Party DLP was a reformist labour party, formed in Canada in 1918. The party enjoyed its greatest success in the province of Manitoba . In March 1918, Arthur Puttee and members of the Winnipeg Trades and Labour Congress TLC created the first branch of the Dominion Labour Party in Canada. The DLP was an ideological successor to various other reformist labour groups in Winnipeg, Manitoba Winnipeg , but was more explicitly socialist and actively cooperated with members of the Social Democratic Party of Canada . The Winnipeg local included such figures as Harry Veitch Canadian politician Harry Veitch , Fred Tipping and Member of the Legislative Assembly MLA Fred Dixon . In the years after its formation, the DLP would set up other branches in cities throughout the Canadian prairies. It never had a strong central organization, and was more of a network than an organized movement. The Winnipeg General Strike of 1919 radicalized labour politics in Manitoba, and the DLP soon emerged as a much stronger force than the province s earlier labour parties had been. In the provincial election of 1920, the party formed an electoral alliance with the Socialist Party of Canada , the Social Democratic Party of Canada Social Democrats and a party representing returning ex soldiers. Dixon easily topped the polled in Winnipeg, Manitoba Winnipeg , and eight other Labour MLAs were elected throughout the province along with one Socialist and one Social Democrat . Among the new Labour MLAs were William Ivens , then serving a prison sentence, and Albert E. Smith , who later joined Communist Party of Canada . Strictly speaking, not all of these figures were elected as Dominion Labour Party candidates Smith, though a member of the DLP, campaigned under the banner of the Brandon Labour Party . The DLP, however, provided the basic framework around which the provincial campaign was based. Dixon was the unquestioned leader of the labour group in the leg ... more details

Unreferenced date October 2007 The Socialist Party of Canada was a revolutionary Marxist organization, founded in 1904 as a merger of the Socialist Party of British Columbia and related groups in Manitoba and Ontario , Canada . Although strongest in British Columbia , the SPC was also a credible force in Winnipeg, Manitoba Winnipeg . One member of the party was elected to the Manitoba legislature in the Manitoba general election, 1920 1920 provincial election . During its early years, the Winnipeg SPC was a rival to larger reformist groups such as Arthur Puttee s Winnipeg Labour Party , from which many Socialists members had split. It was active in the local trade unions, and participated in the city s elections. The party ran John Donald Houston in Winnipeg for the Canadian federal election, 1908 federal election of 1908 . He finished third, behind the Liberal and Conservative candidates. In the Manitoba general election, 1910 1910 provincial election , the SPC ran candidates in three of Winnipeg s four ridings. They finished a distant third in all three, but may have been responsible for the defeat of reformist Manitoba Labour Party candidate Fred Dixon in Winnipeg Centre. Dixon s loss provoked a backlash against the SPC from Winnipeg s labour unions, weakening the party. Many of its members joined the newly formed Social Democratic Party of Canada , which became stronger in Winnipeg than any other city in western Canada. In the Manitoba general election, 1914 1914 provincial election , the SPC ran George Armstrong Manitoba politician George Armstrong and Bill Hoop for the two Winnipeg Centre seats, but did not challenge the SDP in Winnipeg North. Both SPC candidates finished a distant third in their ridings. Armstrong ran against Dixon, but could not prevent his election as an independent. The SPC was further marginalized in the Manitoba general election, 1915 1915 provincial election . Its only candidate was Armstrong, who again placed third against Dixon. Subse ... more details
The Canadian Labour Party was an early, unsuccessful attempt at creating a national labour party in Canada . Although it ran candidates in the federal elections of Canadian federal election, 1917 1917 , Canadian federal election, 1921 1921 , Canadian federal election, 1925 1925 and Canadian federal election, 1926 1926 , it never succeeded in its goal of providing a national forum for the Canadian labour movement. In most provinces, the CLP ceased to exist after 1928 29. History The CLP was founded in 1917, on the initiative of the Trades and Labour Congress of Canada TLC . It was intended to be the Canadian equivalent of the British Labour Party , and endorsed a variety of reformist labour initiatives. In this sense, it was ideologically closer to A.W. Puttee s original Winnipeg Labour Party than to the revolutionary Socialist Party of Canada . The CLP endorsed a number of candidates in the 1917 election, although none were elected. In 1918, the Canadian TLC leaders adopted a non partisan policy advocated by the American Federation of Labor , and the CLP was largely abandoned. The party was revived in 1921 by James Simpson politician James Simpson . It again espoused a reformist platform, including the nationalization of banks and public utilities, major extensions in social and labour legislation, and lower taxes on the working class. The CLP was intended to be an umbrella organization for the various regional labour parties within Canada. Its primary failure on this front was its inability to convince the leaders of Manitoba s Independent Labour Party in Manitoba II Independent Labour Party to affiliate. Initially, this was due to a local split in the Winnipeg, Manitoba Winnipeg labour movement the regional Dominion Labour Party in Manitoba Dominion Labour Party had been taken over by rightist elements, and the parliamentary labour caucus had retaliated by creating a separate ILP organization. When the DLP affiliated with the CLP, the ILP refused to do the same. I ... more details
