American Indians
Favor Cooperation
(By Federated Press)


Washington-Even the American
Indian is going in for cooperative
movements.
The department Of interior reports
remarkable improvement in econo-
mic conditions among the Blackfoot
Indians of Montana as a result of the
organization of farm and live stock
association with a continuous pro-
gram of agriculture development
The organization has made a great
percentage of the Indians self-sup-
porting.
1t is no longer the poor red man.
The Usage Indians in northern Okla
homa are getting all the profits of
their industry. They have drilled oil
wells on leases on their own reserva-
ton with the result they are pro-
ducing oil at the rate of 100000
barrels per month and their royalties
in the last eight years have aggre-
gated $1,000,000 month. Since 1905
when oil was first discovered on the
reservation and up to March, 1923,
they had produced approximately
212,000,000 barrels Of ola produc-
ton of such magnitude as to outrival
records made by any oil and gas fields
at any time in the history of the
world, the department of interior
says.
The total income accruing to the
Osages both from cash bonus and
royalties since the discovery of the
rich oil and gas lands on their reser-
walton 18 years ago reached the figure
of $136,014,397 on May l.

Smuggling of Aliens
"NatiOnaI SCandaI''

misunderstanding of aliens
into the United States has reached
such a scale as to become national
scandal" Secretary of Labor Davis
told President Harding during con-
ference over measures to stop it.
Most of the aliens being brought in
under cover are cheap labor for the
steel trust, the beet sugar fields of
Michigan and the "hard boiled" rail
roads desperate for strike breakers.
According to Secretary of Labor
Davis, these immigrants are pouring
into the United States over the Mexi-
can and Canadian borders and from
the sea ports. He declares it is al
most impossible to check them with
the present forces of inspectors and
guards. Commissioner General of
Immigration w. w. Husband and AS
sistant Secretary of Labor White are
now in Montreal comforting with the
Canadian authorities over co-opera-
tive measures to prevent alien SNUG

SPIES Wanted at
SO Cents a Head
(By Federated Press

Minneapolis-Fifty cents for every
man betrayed is the reward stool
pigeons working in the Minneapolis
Steel and Machinery company's loco
motive shops receive. These labor
spies are being hired through L. Mac
Aloon, a local private detective. In
addition to the so cents the stool
pigeon gets for spying on his fellow
workers, the Minneapolis Steel and
Machinery company pays him so
cents an hour for repairing loco
motives.
How stool-pigeons are recruited
was disclosed when member of a
labor organization answered "blind''
advertisement for locomotive repair
men. A blind advertisement is one
in which the name or address of the
person inserting the ad does not ap-
pear,
The applicant, after being given a
careful scrutiny by the alleged detec-
tive, was asked a number of questions
relating to his past history. Then the
matter of wages was brought up and
the applicant informed that SO cents
an hour was the regular wage, but
that this could be easily doubled by
reliable men who kept their ears and
eyes open.
Keeping their "eyes and ears open"
the detective explained after con-
siderable conversation intended to
draw the applicant out, meant talking
with employees, evesdropping around
shop conversations, and reporting the
names of ali employees dissatisfied
with wages, hours or working condi-
tions. All talk regarding unions was
to be reported, also anything border
ing on radicalism.
When the applicant for a job re
fused to become stool pigeon he
was making a big mistake, as the
shop was full of men doing that kind
of work and all of them were making
"big money"

INSIST ON WAGE INCREASE
Massachusetts, Shoe Workers Refuse
to Accept Decision of State "
Board of Arbitration.

Approximately 1900 shoe workers,
members of the Pressers and Packers
union, voted at Brockton, Mass, NOT
to return to the factories. The work
ers demand wage increase of ~ per
cent, and ask that the present agree
ment with the manufacturers under
which disputes are referred to the
state board Of arbitration and concilia-
tion be abolished.
The manufacturers imposed wage
cut of 10 per cent year ago and the
various unions this year began nego-
tiations to have the cut restored. The
state board Of arbitration and concllla-
ton recently reported adversely on
the demand.
The members of the Dressers and
Packers union, mostly women, pa
raded the streets of the city carrying
placards. One Of these read: down

Railroads Fail on,
Efficiency Promise
(By Federated Press)

Railroads have not made
good their promise of greater eff
cheney under private management,
according to interstate commerce
figures on fuel consumption.
Fuel consumption on the freight
ton and passenger car mile costs has
been termed the pulse of railway eff
cheney. 1t is affected by every opera
ting and mechanical factor. Inter-
state commerce commission statistics
show that after three years of private
management fuel consumption per
traffic unit stands just where it stood
in the final year of federal control:
1856 pounds of coal per 1000 gross ton
miles, and 17.8@17.9 pounds per pas
senger car mile.
The last year Of federal control,
1919, marked the first systematic
effort to~supervise fuel use in the in
terests of economy, and the regional
fuel organization inflated by the u.
S. railroad administration gave an
impetus to this work that is still felt.
"The railroads cannot contine to
mark time in fuel economy, much less
countenance a decrease in efficiency
at this critical time," says the Rail
way Review.
