LABOR GETS TOGETHER
(Philadelphia Record)
A gratifying change has come
over the relations between the
two great rival organizations, the
C. I. 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 a strong pressure for labor
unity and co-operation that not
even William Green dares ignore.
The present negotiations be
tween the two groups would have
been considered impossible a few
months ago. And the possibili
ties of some sort of accord today
are much brighter than they were
a few weeks ago.
It s still too early to do more
than hope for a full agreement.
But it should be at least possible
to lay down a basis for settling
jurisdictional disputes in many
fields and to greatly restrict the
existing conflict.
Neither C. I. O. nor A. F, of L,.
unions profess to wish the des
truction of the other camp. Both
state objectives that are not mut
ually exclusive or beyond the
realm of compromise.
Let labor's negotiations with
labor set an example of intelli
gent co-operation that may be
held up to influence capital's 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. 0.
The Japanese invasion benefited
China in one way. Florida oper
ators had planned to ship a quan
tity of slot machines to Shanghai,
but the order was cancelled on
account of the war.
That's All

Geraldine—"Only about three
years usually."
"Ah,” said the customs officer,
finding a bottle of whiskey, “I
thought you said there were only
~old clothes in this trunk?"
‘Aye, that’s my night cap.”
Game Commission
Records Assist
Proof of A<*e
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 1937, in
attempting to prove age jif the
applicants.
The Alaska law requires that
all recipients be sixty-five years
of age or over. Proof is required
and birbh 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 a church. Family bib
les are also helpful.
The Department of Public Wel
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.
