CENTURY ago miners were beating a trail

to the Cariboo in search of gold. They were
pioneers who helped to Shape the future of this
srovince,

Today the Pacific Tribune is also blazing a
trail into the future — a future of peace, jobs
and security for the people. But publishing
a labor paper (without the benefit of revenue
from the big commercial advertisers, who sup-
port only those papers which reflect their
policies) is an expensive business. That is why
we need a ‘gold rush” every year to keep our
presses rolling. And this “gold,” in the form of
quarters and half-dollars and wrinkled green-
backs, comes out of the pockets of our readers.

Merger of the Sun and Province has elim-
inated what little “competition” formerly ex-
isted between the two Vancouver dailies. Now
they speak with one voice — the voice of
monopoly big business.

The big business press of this province is
currently conducting an all-out attack against
the labor movement. It opposes wage in-
creases and the closed shop. It advocates
compulsory arbitration, wage cuts, destruction
of the trade union movement.

The Pacific Tribune, a David challenging
the newspaper Goliaths of the capitalist world,
defends the interests of labor, publishes the
workers’ side of the story and gives direction
to the struggles of the people.

We need YOUR support to continue publica-
tion. Our drive for $15,500 must be successful.
Will you help by rushing in your contribution
this week?
