Sažetak
Industrial development of the predominantly agrarian Triune Kingdom of Croatia, Slavonia and Dalmatia took place in the late nineteenth century, slowly urbanizing and economically transforming the society. Being within the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Croatian territories were open to dynamic migrations of labor force from several regions and neighboring countries. While industrialization gave a crucial impetus to formation of the first domestic working-class organizations and syndicates, such as those in Osijek (1867) or Zagreb (1873), their development, socio-political goals, and used strategies were greatly under the influence of socialist theoreticians and agitators from Hungary, Serbia, Austria, and Italy. The ideologically heterogeneous labour movement in Croatia depended on the transnational cooperation of different individuals and collectives, ranging from Hungarian Marxists and Austrian social democrats to Italian anarchists. Despite the fact that union organizations or subversive pamphlets were illegal and closely monitored at the end of the century, migratory activists continually agitated and collaborated with domicile workers by using different underground channels. This paper will analyze various ideological inputs of migratory workers in some Croatian cities in the late nineteenth and the early twentieth century. Moreover, the perception of their presence and activism articulated by some political authorities or mainstream newspapers will be elaborated as well.
