The starting point of all our &C
tlvItIes, the first practical step to-
wards creating the organization we
desire (6oIshevik Party and the
factor which will enable US constant
" to develop, to broaden and deepen
that organization, is the creation of
a national political newspaper

The above is a quotation from
Lenins WHERE TO BEGIN?" These
are also the opening words of LENIN
ON ORGANIZATION just published
by The DAILY WORKER Publishing
company. This shows how much i'm
portance Lenin and the Communist
international attach to the building up
of our party press. We must begin
with the creation and development of
a national newspaper in order to build
the party says Comrade Lenin, and

in the party, and who do not realize
the Importance of building up the cir

for this is that many of us do not
know WHERE TO BEGIN.
On Friday, June rs a special meet
ing of the District Executive Commit
tee of the Workers (Communist)
Party, the Young Workers (Commun-
ist) League, the Section and Sub-Sec-
ton Organizers was held in our dis
trict and a resolution adopted that
all these leading comrades that have
not handed in at least one sub do so
before Monday. l feel certain that
everyone of these comrades present
will fulfill the pledge in time. Now
it is up to every member of the dis
trict to get on the job during remain
ing week of the drive and secure at
least one sub. If this is done we will
have taken a tremendous step forward
in the building up of our party. THIS
CAN BE DONE AND MUST BE
DONE.
There is not member of the party
who if he knew that the life of The
DAILY WORKER depended on him
would not give weeks wages. The
DAILY WORKER is in danger and
must have the support of every mem
Der and sympathizer. Less is being
asked of every member than he would
do if he knew the exact state of af-
fairs. GIVE YOUR ANSWER WITH

TRESPASS|NC NOTICE

 HA[T|NC ROAD WORK
MUNICIPAL OFFICES CONTINUE AS IS UNTIL NEXT MEET
 ING OF COUNCIL

The City of Seward was served with trespassing notice yesterday, it was revealed at last evenings regu- lar meeting of the council, temper ariIy holding up the construction of a roadway to connect the Jesse Lee Home road to the new tract of land to be used for cemetery purposes. The matter is under advisement as ii is believed the trespasing notice has no bearing on the particular tract of land the road will traverse.
 Bids were received from Louis Simpson and c. A. McDougal for the construction of the road mentioned above. They were laid over until the next meeting.
 Claims, totaling s1,131.61 were reg ularly ordered paid and warrants drawn covering same. These in cluded street payroll S153.0O; rent s175; light, telephone and power s221.47; Seward Water and Power company s127.5O; P. c. McMullen s1.OO: Alaska Transfer s66.00; Brown X Hawkins s6.so; Gateway Publish ing Company sS.1O; Ogle's Garage s2O.sS.
 The ordinance fixing the rate of compensation for the various city of fees was read and after considerable discussion laid over until the next meeting. No applications were re- ported on file for municipal positions.
 Under the head of reports from committees the finance committee, presented with their approval, the audit of the city office books for the period ending April II, 1926. The bill of MT. Ulshagen, auditor was ordered paid.
 The communication from the Sew ard Machine Shop, in which the price of a motor was quoted, was ordered fled
 Prior to the closing of the session Mayor Ray addressed the council dwelling forcibly on the importance of securing the utmost efficiency in the fire and police departments; that, in his opinion, there should be one man at the head of each of these de partments and there should also be one man employed under the juris- diction of the street committee. How ever. if the council saw fit to combine the offices of the fire and the police departments, he would certainly abide by their wishes in the matter. To have two men stationed in the fire hall a chief for each department, would be a matter of much economy, he stated, after which he pointed out his reasons.
 Regarding filling the municipal position MT. Ray was emphatic in de claring applications should be re ceived from the several positions and that only as last resort should the council take it upon themselces tc elect or appoint men to the offices "There may be a good many citi zens in our town who may want tC tender applications for some of these positions" Mayor Ray said, "and am heartily in favor of giving then the opportunity" The present off cers will hold over until the offices are filled. The report of recommends tions from Supt. of Schools Barnett was read and is published elsewher, in this issue. The council was il session for three hours.

McCarls Opinion.
In applying the strict letter of the
law to the fund. Controller General
McCarl said, THE term active duty
when so used as to include periods
when excused for sleep rest. etc, is
clearly too broad in scope.
However. for the purposes of the
matter at present here involved, it is
not material whether the policemen
and firemen are considered as being
on continuous duty. The statutory
limitation precludes payment for
medical or surgical services, other
than such as can be rendered by the
board of police and fire surgeons, also
hospital treatment, except in cases
of injury received or disease contract
ed in the actual discharge of his
