INTRODUCTION
VVorking class history is nol
only an academic specialty It
can also be perceived as crea- -
tivn rnrriprl rn incirlf a umrlinnb

ing to the past and by impli-catio- n
purpose to the present
As such it is not easily ac-cessa- ble
to those vvho arc not
part of that community Fre-qucnt- ly
it is local and regional in
character In most cases it is
passed on orally as reminiscen-cc- s
that sometimcs rcceive a
more pcrmanent form in stories
songs or plays Only among the
more politically conscious
vvorking people thosc who
through pohtical parties unions
or cultural organzations have
attempted to create nation -- vvidc
institutions has there becn
significant impetus to commit
this shaicd and remenbered
expeiicncc into vvnting Evcn
the vviiting hovvever us done in
n communal context like story-tcllin- g
It is found in commu-nity
publications or labour
papers vvhich assumc a close
raport bctvvcen the vvriter and
the audiencc
This November 50 years
have passed since tvvo organi-zer- s
Rosvall and Voutilainen

mission in the Lakehead area
and vvere never again seen alive
Thcpreservationofthcmemory
of RosvaI1 and Voutilainen
amon8 the Finns is an 'nterest- -
ing examplc of both oral and
vvritten history-makin- g vvithin a
vvorking class community
Their memory is part of the
industrial folklore of the Thun- -
der Bay area vvhere Finns area
significantly large minority
group and vvhere the left-leani- ng
Finnish Organization still has
an active local But Rosvall and
Voutilainen are also knovvn to
Finns across the country vvho
are members of the Finnish
mmm
Organizationandreaditsnatio- -
nai newspaper Through parti- -
cipation in union organizing
among lumbcr vvorkers and as
mpmKrc „f jn r™„ _Party of Canada some Finns
have also passed on this history Rosvall and Voutilainen
to people outside their group were members of the Lumber-Bot- h
THE ONTARIO TIM- - vvorkers Industrial Union of
a union publi- - In the middle ofa bitter
strike on November 18 1929
ty newspapers have carried they vvere scnt out toorganize a
stories about thedeath of these group of camps in the Onion
two unionists In addition they Lake 20 miles North of
arc also mcntioncd briefly in Port Arthur These camps
somc labour historics dealing bclongcd to the biggest lumbcr
vith this pcriod company in the area the Pid- -
gcon 'River Timber Company
What I vvant to do in this and they wcre opcrated by a
papci is to look at the death of Finnish Mäki
Rosvall and Voutilninpn ns an The strike vvhich vvas held
hostoricalcvent vvhich hasbecn
expressed and givcn significan- -
ce b members of the Finnish
voiking class It is
first ncccssaiy to icconstruct
the cvent and the manner in
uhich i't is remembcred in this
But it is also im- -
portant to ask: vhy has this
story survivcd? I vill argue that
thc main reason the story has
lived on is because it gives an
form to an expcri- -
ence shared by many Finnish
immigrant vvorkers vvho vvere
part of the Industrial proletariat
in Canada in the 1 920's and
ce is not restricted to Finnish
alone
The story also expresses in
a microcosm the reality of the
industrial struggle for the
foreign-bor- n vvorkers In the
earlydays of union building
when the obstacles to organiz- -
ing included
company goons and the repres- -
sive use of the police and the
militia and vvhen many casual- -
ties vvere suffered among those
vvho could not placidly accept
their role as industrial cannon
fodder For this reason it has
also caught the imagination of
other vvorking class Canadians
