INDIANS DECIDE
TO ADJUST AFFAIRS
Chiefs to Call First Council in
IS Years at Onondaga
Reservation.

SYRACUSE, March For the nrst
time in seventy-hve years the head
chiefs of the Six Nations are to be called
together In council at the Onondaga
reservation in an effort to settle the
problems which the white mems confer
ence here has been unable to solve dur
ing the last Two days. This decision
was announced tonight by Chief George
Thomas OF the Onondagas. the great
high chief of the IroquoLs nation.
I'VE Indians have always felt that
these conferences of white men we're
more or less the funerals of our rights"
said Chief Thomas. Although the pres
ent one has rot yet completed its labots
we nevertheless feel 1t is best that we
call couhsil of our own. We want to
have something to say ABOUT matters
which concern us moro than they do any
one else. have talked with the heads
OF the other tribes Of the Six Nations
and l find there Is q strong sentiment
for a council of all of our chiefa"
Widely divergent plans for adjusting
the jurisdictional question regarding
New York State Indians were presented
at to-day's session OF the white mems
gathering. Opinions differed greatly as
to- what should be done. They ranged
all the way from asking the Federal
State to determine whether State 5uris-
diction Is Illegal. to asking the Lesisla-
ture to extend all existing State laws to
apply to the original Inhabitants.
William Reeves, who represents Cato
II. Sells OF the Federal Bureau Of In
dian Affairs, insisted the Indians Of this
State be treated exactly the same as in
other States. and that the States police
authority be applied to them. A. F.
Jerks. Attorney General. insisted that
intervention by the State in Indian af-
fairs was illegal and that they were
wards of the Great Father at WASH
ington.
Other resolutions embodylng various
views were offered by Dr. A. G. Hill
of the State Department of Education
f. NJ wister of the Society of Indian
Rights, DR.. Otto Eichel OF the State
Health Department DR.. f. r. Macho
and others.
Dentals were made before the con
ference by chiefs OF the Stregis, Ouon'
dagas. Tuscaroras, Oneidas and Senecas
that the Indians are opposed to educa-
ton. The chiefs complained that ir

THIRD AVE. RAILWAY
MEN MAY UNIONIZE
War Labor Board Decides in
FAVOR of Employees.

The National War Labor Board handed
down a decision yesterday afternoon that
''all of the employees of the Third Ave
nue. Railway Company shall be free to
organize and to join such unions as they
choose" as a result of the controversy
submitted TO 1t by its employees and the
railway company last October. when the
latter is said to have refused the right
The decision says:
This company should not interfere
with its employees In the exercise Of this
right Discharges for legitimate union
activities, espionage by agents and repre-
sentatives OF the company. Interrogation
Of employees by officials of the company,
and like actions. the intent of which Is
to discourage and prevent the employees
from exercising this right of organipa-
ton, must be deemed an interference
with their rights. The evidence submit
ted fully supports the charge that the
officials of the Third Avenue Railway
Company are violating the principles of
the National War Labor Board in not
permitting their employees to join such
labor unions as they choose.
I'VE recommend therefore that the
Third Avenue Hallway Company give
full and free permission to its employees
to organize into labor unions in con-
formity with the announced principles of
this board and of the proclamation Of the
President under which this board was
created"
The report is signed by Cornelius
Searson, who represented the employees,
and by Basil NJ. Manly chairman of the
mediation committee of the War Labor
Board. The same decision and recon-
mendation applies to the Union Railway
Company of New York, the board an
nounced, whose employees had the ga me
grievances as the Third Avenue Railway
Company's employees. All complained
OF being discharged for Joining unions
for being asked to pledge themselves not
to join unions before employment was
given them and OF intimidation and gen

that Germany be permitted to have only

this point will be carried. Our repre-
sentatives stand almost alone in this
matter and II Is not at all impossible
that Japan, France and italy, and even
the United States. will be nations into

compulsory service may enter.
There Is not the slightest truth in
the suggestion that this bill be designed
to raise troops to be sent into Russia.
II there was no such place as Russia I
would still be advocating this bill. No

Careless Use of Soap
Spells the Hair

Soap should be used very carefully,
if you want to keep your hair looking
it's best. Most soaps and prepared
shampoos contain too much alkali.
This dries the scalp, makes the hair
brittle, and ruins it.
The best thing for steady use is just
ordinary mulsified cocoanut oil (Which
is pure and greaseless)' and is better
than the most expensive soap or any
thing else you can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse
the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply
moisten the hair with water, and rub
it in. 1t makes an abundance of rich,
creamy lather, which rinses out easily,
removing every particle of dust, dirt,
dandruff and excessive oil. The hair
dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves
the scalp soft, and the hair fine and
silky, bright, lustrous, fluffy and easy
to manage.
You can get mulsified cocoanut oil
at any pharmacy, it's very cheap, and
a few ounces will supply every mem
Der of the family for months-Adv.
