The daily Nome industrial worker., 1916-03-14

 credited with what he never wrote Sometimes one of prominence has been assigned the authorship oi some articles or poem which thev possibly never saw.
 Thus thero is tho poem "P;-id in Full', which in a variety of labor papers is published as the work O. Rudyard Kipling, which 1t is not, mainly because, perhaps, it has something of the slang cnd realism that marks some of Kipling's mctr1- cal work. The poem is well known and begins we have fed you all for a thousand years.
 Yet the sentiments therein are SC obviously foreign to anytLing Kip ling has ever written, that the er- TOT is quite inexcusable and should long ago have been corrected. Stiii labor papers, because the poem fayors labor, persist in publishing it and crediting it to Kipling.
 Another error which we have never seen before corrected, is an advice to a young man against be- ing a soldier. This piece has at tained considerable notOriety be- cause of the fact that it's publicd- tion has caused the postal author ities to threaten to prevent the pass age of the Appeal to Reason through the mails, because envelopes printed in it's office were adorned with this short piece.
 The Appeal to Reason, the New York Call and a number of other quite authoritative socialist publi- cations have consistently assigned this to the authorship of Jack Lon don. and as far as we could see Jack London in any of those publl- cations never saw fit to deny 1t.
 However London has other jour nalistic connections which he esteems probably of higher import ance than those which indirectly ate his with the Appeal in thus credit ing him with what he says himself he never wrote.
 In order to clarify the air thers- fore, and to prevent any misunder- standing, to obtain in the working class movement, a clearer idea of this revolutionism of Jack London even though in so doing the Indus trial Worker dissipates beautiful vi sions which sociG!ist party c5soci- ates have had trouble in construct ing, a communication is quoted from the Army and Navy Journal Vol LII, No 16, and dated December IS, 1915. It is entitled "A Spirited Denial By Jack London"
 To the editor of the Army and Navy Journal:
 I have just reed your editoria on the third column of page 3S7 oi your November 27, 1915 number First, 1 want to thank you for gig ing mo the information that this canard against me concerning my advice to the young soldier did moi originate in the United States. As far as I was able to trace it back a number of years ago, l found thai it first appeared in Santa Barbara California. You give me the infor nation that first of all it was diatribe against militarism whicl was circulated for some years 1T Europe and especially in Germany This, 1 take it, was in the day before it was translated into th' English language, and circulated Il the United States with my name at tached to 1t.
 Second, want to discuss witl you a note that you have alway rung against me and which you hay rung in this latest editorial, name1, why I permitted such treason against the government to go to m, discredit for reasons unexplained' l do not know how far and hoy wide you tray l.
