Wm. s. Simpson, a native of Canada, disputes Benny Ben- sons claim of having originat- ed the design of the flag re- gently adopted by the Terri torial Legislature as the offici- al flag of Alaska. MT. Simpson writes to a Canadian newspap- CT the following:
 "In the Sunday Province of July 8 appeared a press re- port which stated that some one in Alaska had designed a flag consisting of the Great Dipper and North Star, which had been adopted by the Alas ka Territory. This design for a flag was made by myself two years ago and presented for entry in the Native Sons of Canada flag competition. The newspapers of Vancouver, British Columbia, as well as many sections of Canada and the United States, gave wide publicity to my flag design. It was shown in the columns of a large number of newspapers, yet at this late stage I find credit given to someone who

plagiarized my ideas. My wife also entered a flag design in the competition, which showed the Union Jack in quarter, with a golden maple leaf on a silver sun and the royal cross of St. George on the fly. May be someone will copy that also and take credit for original ity."

With the salmon run at Ket- chikan considerably behind the run of last year the local cannerymen are encouraged by reports of immense schools seen outside by halibut yeS- sells. This means that the fish are on their way to the spawn ing grounds. Traps nearer the ocean reported better catches, and private advices said the run had begun in Icy Strait.
 Three hundred and fifty shorthorn cattle browse over the mountainous surface of tiny Chirikof Island, 200 miles out in the North Pacific ocean from Kodiak. More than 40 years ago the Alaska Com mercial Company, a develop ment concern long since ex- tinct, stocked the island with few head of tame cattle for experimental purposes. On the little isle, with a surface of but 20 square miles, the cattle have degenerated from inbreeding and have become thoroughly wild, but the herd continues to thrive. Alaskans say the experiment at least has proved that cattle can be grown in that region.

Reaching the Youth.
The problems of the young workers
have not received sufficient consid-
Grafton by our Party. We have not
even yet regular interchange of
delegates to the leading local com
mittees. This, however, must be es-
tablished as regular practice. It is
necessary that in all Party campaigns
and major Party activities, the Y. w.
L. members be fully drawn in. For
this purpose alone contact is neces-
sary, but while Y. w. L. members par
ticipate in these activities, the Party
committees must in all instances
stress the question effecting the young
workers and thus provide a basis TO
bring them closer to the Y. w. L.
1t is just as necessary that Party
members take part in major activities
of the Y. w. L., help build up units
where none exist, and strengthen
those that are weak. The Party can
assist the Y. w. L. in its factory cam
paigns. 1t can assist in making ar
rangements that Y. w. L. members
make contact with various sports or
CARNATIONS and not only get an OPP
portunity TO function in them, but
help create labor sports on a united
front labor basis. While the approach
to the Young American Iyorkers can
be greatly facilitated thru sports and
social connections it should neverthe-
less be borne in mind that the way to
develop and strengthen the Y. w. L.
is to help make it class organiza-
ton, fighting effectively alongside of
the Party. The Pioneer Groups must
receive the same measure of assist
ance.

The Cautious Angler
AND THE PICKLED TROUT
By 7. ]. O,FLAHFRTY.

QQUAW CREEK nestled comfortably
= among the Black Hills of South
Dakota. It's guests, from the frisly
catfish to the wild and rolicl1ing bass,
did not have a care in the world. They
laughed at the hot rays of the sun
which they could see thru the trans
parent waters of the creek and they
lived like the happy savages of a
utopian's ideal state, having nothing
to do but amuse themselves and wear
ing nothing but what nature provided
them with.
Sometimes the inhabitants of Squaw
Creek got bored and did not know
what to do with their time between
meals. Living in state Of primitive
collectivism, they had no need for gov
eminent and hence political cam
paigns were superfluous since big
catfish attempted to seize power one
hundred years ago. A mass uprising
settled his ambitions and his head was
impaled on the shin bone of South
Dakota farmer who was drowned by
his wife in the days before the sash
weight came into general use as a
weapon for settling domestic difficult
ties. This CHASTITY warning served to
cool the ardor of other individualists
who might feel like destroying the
democracy that existed in Squaw
Creek.
The fish of Squaw Creek were noted
all over the plains and hills of South
Dakota for their cunning and caution.
Their favorite diversion was playing
with the hooks of optimistic farmers
who voted the republican ticket in the
expectation of lettering their condi-
ton thereby and who fished in Squaw
Creek hoping against hope to provide
their wives with a substitute for salt
pork. The fish of Squaw Creek would
hold caucus, just like the G. o. p.
and decide what to do with the
enemy on the surface.
This was one of their favorite
tricks: Several of them would grab
piece of ironwood between their
teeth and make a furious drive for
the shining bait that danced in the
water. The impetus of the forward
rush would cause tidal wave, rock

perilously. His hook would catch in
the sticky slime on the wood and
when this was accomplished the finny
funsters would give ten additional
wags Of their tails, cock their ears
and with their sides almost bursting
with laughter make drive for shore.

thot he had shoal of fish on his hook
and when he had complete vision Of
a years supply the jokers would sud
denly let go and the impetus of the
rush would land the farmer and his
boat on shore. Needless to say the
ranks of the Squaw Greek inhabitants
were only depleted by old age or fac
tional fights among themselves. In
deed the population of the creek was
increasing so rapidly that the NAL
thusian doctrine was gaining in popu-
larity as matter of biological expe-
diency when an unexpected disaster
fell on the once happy colony.

United States for the qualities that

Further Observation-Disclosures
While these three departments
mentioned are the most necessary
ones they do not cover the full scope
Of Party work. Wherever possible
departments should also be created
for Women's Work whose duty should
be to establish contacts, direct the
propaganda and activities of our
members amongst the women in in

our women comrades to become mem
bers of women's working class or

larly in trade union ladies auxiliaries.
If this department actually carries on
its function, it will soon find out
there are issues aplenty particularly
pertaining to the conditions of work.

A department should also be es-
tablished to direct Party activities
amongst Negro workers, to study the
special methods necessary to effect
lively approach Negro workers and
make contacts with them. To wher-
ever possible in general work have
special Negro leaflets and special
Negro speakers at meetings.
Our Party should propaganda in
the true sense of the word social
equality between members of the
various races, but the Negro depart
ment should also give special atten-
ton to have all comrades propagate
this issue in all workingclass organi-
cations. To help break down the bar
riers to racial, social and economic
equality. The organization of frac-
lions Of Negro members belonging
to broader Negro organizations is
necessary as any other fraction and
their work should be directed by the
Negro department.
Other departments should be es-
tablished as local conditions require.
An Approach to an Important Problem
In the same manner that our Party
Central Executive Committee acts on
national political and workingclass is
sues and outlines the necessary pol
icies, our District and City Executive
Committee must act on state and To-
cal issues. A first simple prerequisite
is to secure all records of State Leg
islatures, City Councils as well as
State Federations of Labor and City
Central Labor bodies. These records
should be followed closely, all pro-
posed legislation should be examined
particularly those affecting working
class issues. The purpose and conse-
quence of such legislation should be
explained to our units, discussed and
the correct lessons drawn. The same
naturally applies to important actions
or issues of Central Labor bodies.
This will help greatly in drawing the
attention of our members much more
toward problems of the American
workingclass, political and otherwise.
The next steps are to outline con-
crete policies for action on the issues,
which will mobilize our units and the
largest possible section of the work.
