“A white workman” complains in Chinook Jargon

I always heard, “The poor workman blames his tools.” 🙂

Do you understand the blaming phrase “halo shame“?

In response to a proposal to import Japanese workers for the Grand Trunk Pacific railroad line:

It is hard to belleve that the
man whom we elected on the cry that
he stood for a white British Columbia
is supporting a government who vot-
ed against “white” men’s wages be-
ing paid.

Mr. Taylor halo shame.

A WHITE WORKMAN.
