>cross-country comparative view, concentrating on the pre-1939 period, and
>especially 1900-1914. I would like to include Canada in my study.

>"I seek advice about sources for data, relating to the number of workers
>employed by specific large Canadian companies (employing over, say, 3,000
>or 4,000 workers) - and especially the railways. I am interested in firm
>specific data rather than information relating to labour in different
>economic sectors."
>
>"Information for dates which correspond to UK Census of Production years -
>1907, 1912 and 1924 - would be great; but data for years close to these
>years would be greatly appreciated. There's a lot of 'circa 1912' in my
>North American and UK data."

>"Needless to say, I promise to acknowledge assistance and sources as
>faithfully as possible. Many thanks for your help."
