Petitions by the Catering Employees
Association in London have been sent
to hotel keepers and restaurant pro-
prietors asking that the ban against

 No legislative session in the Territorys previous history is of importance to the welfare of Alaska than the one coming up next month, for the simple reason that the Territory grows and stretches out toward further development it's problems become complex and its field becomes wider Each biennum to follow will take and i'm portance as Alaska expands and ultimately moves into its proper position state.
 Many questions requiring legislative action will be brought before the forthcoming session and oustand ing among them at this time appear to be Social Security, liquor legislation and Territorial promotion of mining development
 The former has to do with setting up Territorial machinery to cooperate with the Federal Social Secur- ty act and will require careful study as pension plans existent in the Territory probably will need ad justment.
