LOOK FOR THE SIGN BRITISH PHARMACY ADVERTISE harmful results to the interests of our people hiss ever been In The Workman. It Pays Their LUCKY (STRIKE IT TOASTED From Panama to Colon and in other parts of this Republic, not excluding the Canal Zone, it is fully known that the WORKMAN has always maintained the position of an independent representative publication devoted exclusively to the interests and affairs of West Indians; and that during its past career of nearly fifteen years of consistent struggling it has never once betrayed its trusts or failed in the exercise of what has always been considered to be its chief purpose in the community.
We have been commended, from time to time, for our open and undaunted attitude towards injustice, oppression and outrage Nothing that might have operated with allowed to been quarter, however high or powerful, from which menacing gestures have come, that has proved too formidable or too influential for our direct, fearless and fiery attacks, Our policy has ever been not to abuse those against whcm our defence might have been directed, but rather to present, in the boldest and most emphatic manner possible, our position as the defender of the West Indian people who have had no other mouth piece but the WORKMAN.
grievances and outrages which they have been forced to suffer bave always been aired, without fear or reserve in these columns, and it is a well known fact, that several acts of injustice have been fustrated and many corrected that would have proved calamitous to the weal of our people, on the whole.
Incidents still green in the memory of our people have had the prompt and earnest attention of the WORKMAN.
If our people possess any faculty of conscience, any memory and any racial pride they will not fail to contribute their quota of incontrovertible evidence of truth that has made the WORKMAN, as the defender and representative of West Indians, the foremost claimant to the support and confidence of all our people. We have stayed the hands of the tyrant and paralyzed his grip in the economic struggle through which we were often threatened with enslavement, and we have opened the ears of officials in high stations to the complaints and appeals of the laboring classes. We have sounded our voice with unmistakable clearness against the inhumanity, which, in former years, was generally practiced by American bosses upon the gangs of West Indians who served during construction and early postconstruction days with the Isthmian Canal Commission, and the Panama Canal.
During the colorful days of the organization known as the Maintenance of Way; and Railway Shop Laborers and which gripped the entire labor force of West Indians and a large portion of native workers, the WORKMAN stood firmly on the side of the people and gave full publication to their views in the big industrial struggle which was going on at the time; and when the climax came in the general strike of the Silver Force in 1921, it was the WORKMAN that called a halt in the outrageous proceedings that many of the mean underlings in the Government servi e were perpetrating against the rights and privileges of our people.
Our prompt investigation and our quick exposures changed a situation that portended the ugliest international developments. We saw ominous signs in the storm clouds of an economic debacle and we did our part to bring about a better state of things. How far we succeeded must be determined by the experiences of the people themselves.
No outsider can estimate the importance of that work and none can visualize its results.
We are ready to continue this work for the good of our fellow West Indians and to play our part in creating conditions that will make for the improvement of all circumstances affecting the vital interests of our community, and all we ask for is the genuine and unstinted support of our people. As journalists, we are non competitive, noncombative and non rancorous. Such conduct we shall leave to the indulgence of others, if they care to assume it.
Our motto is: Malice towards none and charity towards all.
AFTER ALL, THE OVERSHADOWING SUCCESS of the LUCKY STRIKE is not unusual, for the finest tobaccos that are grown all go to conbine that unsurpassable blend that is only found in Luckies.
