Nothing counts but pressure, pressure, more pressure,
and still more pressure through broad,
organized, aggressive mass action.

New York, New York – Announcing a New Socialist Magazine
From The Ohio Socialist of March 10, 1918:
NEGRO COMRADES ESTABLISH MAGAZINE
A journal that will fill a long felt want is now published in New York. It is “The Messenger,” a Socialist monthly. Brilliantly edited by our colored comrades in New York city, A. Philip Randolph and Chadler [Chandler] Owen. The negroes of America are to be congratulated in having such able men in charge of their first revolutionary journal.
We predict a great success for them in their noble work. They have a vast field to themselves to cultivate, and there is no doubt that under their able leadership the negroes of America will soon take their rightful place in the ranks of the revolutionary army.
One dollar for eight months, $1.50 a year. Published at 230 William street, New York city.-Arizona Bulletin.
