newspaper clippings for few days. And, some
of his statements are inexcusable in writer who,
presumably, takes the working class movement
seriously, and writes sometimes for a Communist
newspaper.
Before we come to the things which specially en-

instance two In speaking Of the famous Lawrence
textile strike, of 1872 Allen says Strkes in those
days nothing like the somewhat polite affairs
they have since, with two exceptions, to
be. Neither side asked or gave any quarter"
Now, / have been long time away from the

Passaic strike, the beating up of girl pckets in New

distance-savour much of poteness. When
did the politeness start Not as late as 1919, with
the steel strike, surely? And if tomorrow, the
miners in West Virginia, or the Nesaba Iron
Range miners, to strike, is Allen able 10 guar

rules of courtesy?
But, when Allen says Neither side asked or gave
any quarter" he to intimate that, in the

Lawrence STRIKE there was violence on the part Of
the workers. Here, he is hopelessy wrong. Never
was there strike, on large a scale, so peace
fully conducted Let him ask Giovannitti or Cur
ley Flynn. If that is so what does he mean?
Later, still on the Lawrence strike, he SAYS "Gur-
ley Flynn, who assumed command with Big Bill
Haywood =" Incredible as it will seem to all
old rebels, he does not mention Giovannitti or
Ettor who together with Caruso, were on trial for
murder and who were just prominent as lead
ers, as Gurley Flynn and Big Bill Haywood To
describe the Lawrence strike and omit the Ettor-
Giovannitti case, is like cooking ham and eggs
without the ham.
Allen, in fact, altogether ignores the splendid
machinery of the Lawrence strke-the Strike Gem
mttee of fiftyodd members, with its language rep
resentation, and Again, in speaking of the
Paterson silk STRIKE he gives the impression that
alone and unaided, Gurley led the whole business.

cursing this young man who for the sake Of con-

ance swept grandly aside all the other leaders who
played prominent parts in the Paterson strike.

Correcting the American Mercury

because of the good graces of some affluent Amer

This will explain why these lines arrive be-
latedly. Because ] writing about an article,
by Harbor Allen, entitled, '"The Flynn which ap-
peared in the american Mercury" of December
last It's not my fault I'm so late.
The article is, on the whole, a good article, al
though bit too superficial. But, then, if it
not, it probably wouldn't have got into the Amer
lean Mercury. Comrade Allen manages to inject
the frivolous-cynca quality, here and there which
is the rather monotonously al-pervading tone of
the publication.
And, there is in the world why an
article shouldn't be written about Gurley Flynn. She
is certainly good material, besides being an inter-
esting and lovable individual. She is, / am glad
to say, friend of mine. liked what Allen said

The committee on education, public health, quarantine and moras, to which was referred the subject of a territorial flag on the motion of the American Legion, reported the matter to the House of Representatives with the recommendation that no action be taken on any bill until after the final or winning design has been selected The committee recommended that af- ter the design has been seected the Legislature appropriate the sum of $250 for the purpose of having the flag made, and an additional sum of $1,000 to send the winner of the contest to Washington to present the official flag of the Territory to the President.
 The committee recommended that the Speaker appoint a committee of two to represent the House in the se- lection of the official flag, and the speaker appointed Messrs. Benjamin and Fisher to act as the committee.

That the bald eagle is by no means

from the fact that seven were counted

in September. This may indicate an
actual increase i'm the past few years.

One feature OF the river bird life

number of laughing gulls. birds with

September trip. Nearly all have gone
further South now. He also observ-

gulls and G. ring bill gulls.
Wood Duck Breeds Here.
Only one duck breeds in this
locality, he said, and is to he found
on the Potomac both Summer and
Winter. This is the wood duck. Most
of these birds go farther South in
Winter. but for the past two years a
small group have been seen in the
same spot. around an old wooden pier
between Washington and Alexandria.
The water birds, DR.. Jackson said,
almost never go above Long Bridge,
where the current becomes two swift
for them. In spite of the enormous
concentration OF ducks on the Poto-
mac. he said. there is no evidence
that there is any communal life
among them. They simply have ac-
quired the custom of staying to-
cether during the Winter without any
organization on favorite feeding
grounds.
