| description: | Premier T.C. Norris addressing huge crowd of members of anti-strike loyalists Veterans Association. At first he had feared they were pro-strike demonstrators, but soon learned differently. Norris declared that all sympathy strikes must cease before his government would confirm the right of collective bargaining, and thanked the Rightist Veterans' Group for its stand on "Law and Order". Later one labour leader alleged that Norris would have passed compulsory collective bargaining laws as late as mid-June 1919 except for the hard-line stand of Meighen and Borden. |
