Interview of Charles (Charlie) A. Rose, age 78, of Toronto, who was born in Edinburgh, Scotland in 1896. He came to Canada in 1920. He talks about: his parents; his childhood; several financial reverses suffered by his family; working as an apprentice printer at the age of 12; the chores he had to do as an apprentice printer, feeding the horse, lighting the lamps and putting a fire under the glue-pot; not being able to enlist because he was not yet age 18; his employers’ refusal to give him back his job; getting into the army in 1915; being sent to an Indian unit to build up the unit’s strength; stealing food from the fields; being in a gas attack; officers putting oats in their boots to dry them out; suffering boils; being in a military hospital; getting blinded in one eye; being discharged; working in paper mills; hearing about Canada from Canadians in the army; how the British thought Canadians were wonderful at the start but were not so happy about them later because the Canadian soldiers were paid better and threw their weight around; glowing tales by the Canadians about Canada; being sent by the Overseas Settlement Department to Montreal; finding out that he had to be a strike breaker so he went to Toronto instead; his former work for suffragettes in England; his involvement in Working Men’s Clubs; working for the Socialists in electoral politics; comparisons between the job situation in Canada and England; changes in postwar life; negotiating for the bookbinders’ union; trying to get equal pay for equal work; strikes; changes in technology; clothing in Europe compared to Canada; sweatshops; getting a job at Thompson and Norris; working for Saturday Night magazine until there was a strike; a union organizer taking off with the money; going to Winnipeg to work as a harvester; farming in western Canada; farm work; helping a farmer; plowing; going back east because he feared for his sanity if he stayed on the farm; getting a job back at Saturday Night; then going to the Methodist Bookroom; starting a welfare program; working for a union; signs that read “No English Need Apply” because English workers would not work for low rates and also were union men; names representing ethnic slurs; the early days of progressive politics; a cooperative building; the Toronto Street Railway fare; going to Nickelodeon shows and vaudeville shows; the 1929 stock market crash; his marriage; how the war disrupted family life and brought about a loss of respect; recreational activities such as singing around a piano, going to corn roasts and picnics and on sleigh rides; food and cooking; medical care; life in the 1930s; city politics; restaurants; the problem of trying to get a job at Eaton’s department store if you were not Irish or at city hall if you were not an Orangeman; racetracks and more about living conditions in the 1930s.
