giant to say that every foot of

all these industries are NEW!
st. JOINS Is Just starting up.

QUESTION OBRERA
Hay un progreso evidente en-
las ideas de las cIases tra'
bajadoras en- Pto. Rico.
PREDICAS lNJUSTAS
Los partidos politicos no son
responsables de nlngun ac-
to individual.

Desde hace algunos afios ha
venido oper&ndo e en- toda la isla un
movimiento obrero, que puede muy
bien conceptuarse de progresiSta y
provechoso para la clase.
Sc We como todos los indi-
viduos pertenecientes q 6sta, Sc han
mostrado desde algin tempo q esta
parte, como estimulados & ir cada vez
con mayor ahinco Y perseverance, en-
la consecuci6n de Sus aspiraciones.
El obrero de hoy, no es el obrero
de hace ounce amos.
Entonces disfrutaba de ma
yores comodidades que hoy, pocas
veces la miseria invadi6 su hogar,
d causa del buen estado econ6mico del
pals.
Pero es cierto tambi6n, que en- me-
dio de sus holguras, olvidaba cast por
complete ell cultivo de su nteligencia.
Hoy piensa dc distinta manera.
En- medic de Sus miserias ha rehe-
Xionado en- algo serio Y provechoso
para 81 Y su familia. Ha sentido
los estfmulos del saber. Sc apresta q
la defensa de suS derechos.
Vesele abogar en- la tribuna en-
los peri6dicos, por un ideal de justi-
cia. Sc asocia, Y busca en- la asocia-
ci0n los medioS eIicaces y asequibles
que le conduzcan 4 la cumbre de sus
anhelos.
Mas aQui nos es precise sehalar
un NAL, que slb5istiendo, puede de-
fraudar las esperanzas mas legitimas
del obrero.
Nos refcrimoS q ciertaS prGdicas
que escucha casi diariamente, Y que
por su sinraz6n Y su carencia absolu-
Ia de fundamentos de verdad y de JUS
rlcia, al par que Sc hacen acreedoras
q nuestra censura, extravfan la OPT
MON del obrero, exponi6ndolc en- de-
termlnadas ocasiOnes 4 proceder in
consultamente, por tanto, 4 incurrir
en- los mas graves errores, cuyaS con.
secuencias son para 81 fatalisimas.
En- estos ,iltimos dfas Sc han reali-
yado aignpos movimientos huelguistas
entire los trabaj ajadores de variaS fincas
agricolas del pals. Sobre este punto,
NADIA diriamos que no fuera para JUS
tifcar ell ejercicio de ese derecho per.
fectisimo que tiene todo trabajador.
Pero sobre las huelgas Sc ha ha-
blado mucho y sin raz6n desde la tri-
buna. Sc ha querido por algunos
oradores ahondar en- las causas de ese
movimiento de protesta, y Sc ha lanza-
do la afrmaci6n de que los partidos
polftic0s son responsables de esos he
chos, por mantener en- gu seno q bur-
gueses ~ que explotan al obrero.
Adn suponiendo que existan real.

Absolutamente ninguna. Los par
tidos son y seran sienpre irresponsa-
bles de los hechos que caigan bajo la
jurisdiction de los particularfsimos
intereses del individuo.
Cesen pues, tales predicaciones,
con las cuales es impossible que ell

de sus deberos y Sus derechos, y q ser
