Game Commission Records Assist
 Proof of Age

The Alaska Old Age Assistance Division of the Department of Public Welfare is using trapping, hunting, and fishing licenses is sued by the Alaska Game Com mission prior to April 1887, in attempting to prove age of the applicants.
 The Alaska law requires that all recipients be sixty-five years of age or over. Proof is required and birth certificates are rare, as vital statistics were generally re- corded only in the larger cities and some few of the eastern cit ies sixty-five years ago, Usually church records giving the date of birth are available for those who were baptized or who were reg istered in church. Family bib les are also helpful.
 The Department of Public Vel fare has been finding information recorded on trapping, hunting and fishing licenses of great value in proving age and the Alaska Game Commission has been cooperating with the Department in tracing many of these records over a period of years, therefore helping to establish the age of many ap- plicants in the Territory.
 This work would be greatly facilitated and grants could be made much sooner if applicants would be careful to record the exact year or years in which they received licenses from the Game Commission, as well as indicating the kind of licenses that were issued. Other types of documents found invaluable are homestead records, marriage records, steam boat licenses and similar records.
 The investigation of other re- cords would be greatly facilitated were exact details given when making the application.

LABOR GETS TOGETHER
Philadelphia Record)

A gratifying change has come over the relations between the two great rival organizations, the C. l. o. and the American Fed eration of Labor.
 Perhaps both groups of leaders were made aware that their blasts at each other were not too enthusiastically welcomed by their rank and file members.
 Among ordinary unionists there exists strong pressure for labor unity and cooperation that not even William Green dares ignore.
 The present negotiations be- tween the two groups would have been considered impossible few months ago. And the possibili- ties of some sort of accord today are much brighter than they were a few weeks ago.
 It still too early to do more than hope for full agreement. But it should be at least possible to lay down basis for settling g jurisdictional disputes in many fields and to greatly restrict the existing conflict.
 Neither C. l. o. nor A. F. of l.. unions profess to wish the des- truction of the other camp. Both state objectives that are not nut ually exclusive or beyond the realm of compromise.
 Let labor's negotiations with labor set an example of intelli- gent cooperation that may be held up to influence capitals ne gotiations with labor.
 The difficulties facing the pres ent conference are formidable But so are the dangers to labor generally if some progress isn't made toward closing the gap be- tween A. F. of L. and C. I. O.
