real service.
an education there should be the
building of social order in which
every child has the best opportunity
for development and the conservation
of health"

turbance. and that she walked in front

Familiar Story
Told BY Indians

Pendleton, Ore, Sept. 22,-The old
story of injustice to Indians was re-
peated to a subcommittee of the SEN
ate committee on publ Glands by the
Nez Perces Indians, from whose
ranks came the famous warrior, Chief
Joseph.
The Indians made grave charges
against the Indian bureau of the de-
partment of the interior. If given
time, they stated, they could prove
every charge from the records of the
bureau itself.
1t was alleged that more than 63,-
900, 900 feet of lumber had been sold
from their reservation and that they
had not received one cent and that
every request for an accounting had
been refused by the bureaus repre-
sentative.

Cheap Automobile
Causes Wanderlust

Washington, Sept. 22.--The cheap
automobile has brought new prob
lem to institutions dealing with mi
gratory families, Miss Louise Nc
Guire told the conference of the Ma
tional Conference of Catholic charities.
"The cheap automobile" she said,
"has added new species to the mi
gratory group. Whole families are
wandering from town to town in the
automobile. Sometimes a trailer is at
tached, carrying the cooking utensils,
bedding, etc, but more often the crude
equipment is placed on a carrier at
the side. This sort of gypsyhood
among low-standard families has de
veloped in the last few years in some
of our western sections. As might be
the members work when
they can, or when they care to, steal
likewise, and children's rights are
in every way"

Justice To Workers

Sunday message of the Federal Coun-

called for justice to workers and en-
phasized that the cooperative spirit
is the most important need of indus
try.
The churehmen declared that the
day of the docile organization of hu-
man units is gone. Free and lntelll-
gent cooperation affords the only
sure foundation for American indus
try"
I'VE have men, ability, resources,
organization and opportunity. The
present situation, however, makes it
clear that these things in themselves
are not sufficient to insure abiding
peace and prosperity in industry"
