MEETING LOCAL UNEMPLOYMENT.

The American Legions unemployment registra- tion has listed nearly two hundred people who want work and cannot find it. Many of them said they flat broke and knew not how they could provide subsistence for themselves and families. Some of them not yet in distress and it may be that some of them will be able to weather the winter without assistance in getting employment. However, there is no doubt but that many of them must have work severe hardship will follow. Among those in need women and children in the families of out of work
 The City Council and other agencies that have charge of such things casting about to devise ways and of financing public work of one kind and another to give employment to those in need It is believed that would be better than to handle the situation as charity proposition. Those who unemployed would rather the money which to live than to accept charity
 It seems to be the consensus of opinion that the City Council ought to take the lead But the City is without funds and is in debt
 But the City is authorized by law to levy a tax of twenty mills per dollar on the assessed valuation of property Last Spring it levied eighteen mills believing that the municipality could get along with that sum do' some public improving and for the running expense. It did not figure on the unemployment situation that has risen.
 This situation has suggested to many business people and property owners that the practical and fair way for the City to raise funds to pay for public improvements that would give employment is to levy additional two mills tax Lawyers agree that it can be done legally. That would produce about S1oo00.
 By meeting this unexpected expenditure by taxa tion property the burden will be borne nearly in proportion to ability to pay than in any other way and it will be paid by those who benefit from the labor performed
 This would be the reasonable way to proceed It would be far better than to increase the municipal debt. These are times when good business de- mands that we pay go if possible. There is assurance that shall not have similar situation of unemployment to meet again next year and the year after IL behooves us to face the future without the burden of debt and interest pay ments if that is possible.
 The indications that it will be long time before we shall again if we do experience the booming times of the and post period. It is time to pile up debts reckleSsly.
 The situation that confronts the City Council is serious but we have doubt but that it will be met courageousy and with ability

HONORING THE SCHOOL TEACHERS.

That is not only pretty and gallant custom ol the Juneau Chamber of Commerce in devoting two or more of it's weekly luncheon occasions each year to the teachers in the schools of the City but It IS recognition of deserving workers for the common good The public schools of the United States which make it that practically every girl and boy may get the rudiments of education are the hope of the country. No sef-governing country can be safely governed unless it has an educated ana intelligent citizanry. Tn Juneau it is through out the United States the public gives free to all who will take it twelve years of schooling It gives them without cost education that is equivalent to that given by many colleges century or less ago and prepares them for entrance into institutions of higher learning.
 The women and men who devote their time to this work are laborng at the foundation of the most worthwhile thing in the Republic They are preparing the youth of the land to for them selves and institutions-to for civilization itself.
 The Chamber of Commerce doas well to honor them. It is their due.

Superstitious Town
 Bans Rowling Canine

CHICAGO, Sept. 19.-A barking dcg never bites. That's legend Recently Magistrate Porter of Ev. anston ordered a dog that bit foul persons put to death. The sentence was later "commuted."
 Next Magistrate Porter ordered barking dog which never bi anybody, banished from town.
 The dog belonged to Stanley Piotrowick, and the reason he wa. ordered outlawed from Evanstor was that some of his owners neigh DOTS were superstitious.
 Dog Catcher Erickson explained that the dog howled three night. running after there was death il the neighborhood, and that resi-. dents of the quarter feared hi. nocturnal display would bring or a hoodoo.
 Magistrate Porter took it as al omen and ordered the dog away.

Is This Fair?
(Ketchikan Chronicle.)

It seems as if the Biological Survey is gong to ignore the pleas from Alaska for change in the recently promulgated order prohibiting the hunting of wild water fowl except in September
 But protests from other sections have found sympathetic consideration. Dispatches last night said that the Department of Agriculture had chang ed the season in fourteen States. By this order, the season in Oregon and Washington opens Novem- Der 16-six weeks after it has closed in Southeast Alaskal
 On the surface it appears to be an example of bureaucracy stupidity, and it will be considered until some reasonable explanation is made. The only answer given Alaskans was that dates would be changed anywhere despite the protests, and that Canada was expected to cooperate by taking similar action Neither of these statements has material ized
 Southeast Alaska sportsmen insist that there are scarcely any ducks here in September Ana they feel that they should be entitled to some duck hunting particularly in view of the fact that all the ducks killed in Alaska during season can hardly be expected to compare with the slaughter in more thickly populated sections
 Judging from the about face the Department has taken in other sections of the country, the protests must have been numerous Alaskans might do well to renew their claim to the Delegate, to the Secretary of Agriculture to the President Thus amplifed the protests of the Ketchikan Chamber of Commerce and other commercial bodies in Southeast Alaska might obtain the hearing that they deserve.
 Alaska is asking nothing unreasonable. All that is sought is fair treatment If the ducks must be saved surely the slaughter must be lessened. But that Alaska should save the ducks only to have them killed as they go on down the coast is hardly fair.

To the Rank and File of the.
Proletarlan Party

ternatonal and at the time passed de-
cision prohibiting Proletarian Party members
from belonging to Unemployed Councils or labor
unions led by the Communist Party Double
dealing is the only fitting phrase to characterize
such reactionary policy.
When asked as to the c. I. view of the Pro-
letarian Party, your speakers evade and fool you
every time. They tell you that the only express
sion in this matter was received some years back
in which the G. l. praised your Marxism educa-
tional work. They never tell you that in the
report on its activities for the period 1924-28,
there is a sub section, headed SOCIAL DEMO-
CRATIC PARTIES. One paragraph deals with
the Proletarian Party. Do you need any moreP
The c. l. Classics your party as social demo-
cratic party, party of traitors to the working
class.
Quite true. Not all of you adhere to the view
point and policy of your party leaders. Far from
it. In recent months, growing numbers have ex-
pressed themselves in no uncertain terms.
Some Of you wish to maintain the Proletarian
Party. These comrades wish to activige the
Proletarian Party. They want their party to
ter into the movement for the release Of Mooney,
into the economic battles of the working class,
into the movement of the unemployed; they wish
to burst the narrow bonds of the study class
and propaganda; they wish to extend their ac+
tivity to embrace the objective actuatieS of the
class struggle
But, If you wish to do the things the Commu-
mist Party and the Communist International are
doing, why maintain an independent party?
Either you belong to and support social demo-
cratic organization or you belong to the Comnlu-
mist Party and work with and through the Com
munist Party
"Ahl" you will say, after we have either
captured the Proletarian Party or organized a
new party, our party will be no social demo-
cratic party" Don't fool yourselves, comrades
tionaL there cannot exist truly Communist
Party. Any groupings of workers wishing to
act as the political expression of the working
class will sooner or later find its membership
in the ranks of the G. /. or will degenerate into
anti-C. l. or reactionary activities Only in pipe
dreams, only in so-called pure thought, in
logic divorced from objective reality can there
be room for two Communist Parties
You comrades in the Proletarian Party who
still think of that party" in terms Of Marxisn,
measure your party in the light Of Marks guild
ance. Is your party party urging and leading
the working class into battle for their immediate
and ultimate interests7 Mol On the contrary
1t acts as brake.
Does the Communist Party and the c. T. urge
and lead the workers in battlep Undoubtedly
yes. Then follow the examples of Locals Cleve-
land and New York Join the Communist Party
Join the International of Revolution

BY hhs y. NAL L.
A NUMBER of newspapers in Germany have
II started & new feature: ''The Small Civil
War" The capitalist press, especially the gutter
sheets, carry in this feature, news OF bloody
clashes between political opponents" The list
of the dead and wounded is large. Every day
. or dead, often up to dozen seriously
wounded.
These Clashes occur between Nationalist
ciaIists CFascists) and Communists but among
the victims there are found many Social-Demo-
cratic workers After such "clashes" the police
carry out mass arrests and every seldom does
the social-Democratic police succeed" in cap
turing and arresting the National-Socislist ban
dts; but they do succeed in seizing many Com
nl1ists and also Socia1-Democratic workers.
How is this Small Civil War" taking place?
A Communist nucleus in Germany meets in the
rear Of a saloon or a small restaurant. In gen.
cral the political life in Ger1nany-that is the
Party Hfe-is closely connected with the back
rooms of saloons or restaurants
We are seated, group of functionaries of
nucleus. in one back room of a saloon in one Of
the proetarian districts of Berlin. We are dis
cussing the plan of action Of the nucleus for
the next two weeks AT the present time plans
for longer period cannot be made because every
thing moves very rapidly and the situation
changes from day to day. The comrades give
their reports Each about his work. The sop
ponent" functionary Gin every nucleus there is
one comrade whose job it is to watch the OPP

of Nazis moved into the district He has learned
that this is the fascist murder brigade 49,"
This bandit division is one of the most notorious
one of Berlin Up to now it has murdered 18
revolutionary workers and active Communist
comrades.
For us it is clear that the moving of brigade

Immediately inform the Party buro and decide
what our nucleus should do. We must be pre-

coming.
We don't have to ask who they" are. Every
one of us knows that. We did not reckon, how
ever, that they would come so soon. We are
group of u men and 5 women How many of
them are there? We send out a patrol of
comrades they come back and report that there
are 40 men with revolvers, knives and other
weapons They have besieged the entire district
around the meeting place.
We telephone the Party buro, the buro of the
Anti-Fascist Fighting League. But we can't get
any connections. This evening there is whole
series of meetings and since this sudden raid
was unexpected We are unable to get help.
A half hour passes three quarters of an hour.
We are sitting in a besieged fortress. 1t is mid
night. Suddenly bang, bang. One stone an

On Having a Bit of
Imagination

The Los Angeles Record" is forehanded In
specializing on the 1882 presidential election and
running blanks for STRAW vote" A connrade
sent in the latest returns" showing Norman
Thomas running ahead of Hoover-but nary an
honorable mention for our last candidate for
president-William z. Foster.
What's the why of that? Well, oomrade in
forms us that the local comrades by and large,
when asked why they didn't chip in q few
votes and gather in those of their friends and
sylnpathizers, answered: ''That's the bunk!
There amt nothin' to it, forget it, we read the
Daily Worker!"
Which is a splendid sentiment, but why neglect
any chance to agitate? If they read the Daily
Worker let's hope they read this comradeiy
counsel not to be SO formal Shop work Is the
main thing, of c. rse, but without neglecting
other work we ought at least to poll more votes
than the Socialists" in any straw voting any
where-and bring our Party's candidate 10 the
attention of the workers.
The Org Dept. suggests that perhaps the con
rades had received no instructions" for whom
to vote-but why not vote for our past candi-
date? Therell be lot of 'straw votes" being
taken around the country, so let a word to the
wise be sufficient: Until further notice vote for
Foster, our 1923 candidate
