Chippewas Should be
Accorded Fair Treatment
Amendments to JurisdictionaI Bill Asked
for BY Commissioner Burke Would
Prevent indians From Obtaining
Justice In the Courts.

Congress is likely to pass q
Chippewa Jurisdictional Bill a,
this session, allowing the Indians
to sue the United States in the
Court of Claims for losses sus
tained by them through violations
of their treaties and agreements
with the federal government. 1t
was thought that a satisfactory
agreement as to a jurisdictionaI
bill had been reached when the
Senate Committee on Indian
Affairs reported out a satisfactory
bill. However, when the bill was
sent back so the House Committee
on Indian Affairs for consideration,
Commissioner of Indian Affairs
Burke appeared before that COM
mittee and succeeded in having
certain amendments made in the
bill which would make it practical
ly useless to the Indians, as they
could recover little if anything
under it. Whether the Senate
Indian Committee will stand by
their guns and insist that the
amendments offered by Commits
sioDer Burke in the House be
stricken out and the bill passed as
amended by the Senate Committee,
we are unable to say at this writ
ing. The Chippewas have no one
but Commissioner Chas. H. Burke
to thank for this attempt to block
justice in their behalf.
The Chippewas should be given
a satisfactory jurisdictional bill;
one under which they can recover
for the great losses resulting from
the many fragrant violations of
their treaties and agreements with
the United States. The Indians
have been complaining bitterly
for many years of these iniustices
and they should have their day in
court.
There was time when all the
territory bordering on Lake Su.
perior and all of Minnesota north
of line running fromsSt. Paul to
Fargo was the property of the
Chippewas, subject only to. the
governmental powers of the United
States. Now they have nothing
left except a few square miles of
reservations. Their forests and
mines, their valleys, rivers, lakes
and mountains are now the legal
property of their white successors.
1t will be strange if no equities are
found in favor of the remaining
bands.
1t seems, too, that the old hatred
Of the Chippewas for the Sioux,
based on a warfare of centuries, is
abating. To be sure this is merely
a sentimental matter. 1t seems to
be settled as valid history that at
the time of Columbus the Sioux
were masters of the Lake Superior
country and the region to the west.
The Chippewas, pressing from the
east, drove them out ano after
generations of warfare made what
is now Northern Minnesota their
own homeland.
In those days this country was
the center of that strife. These
Indian claims and problems turn
back the pages of history. 1t is
we'll to note that during these past
ages the Chippewas seldom if ever
faltered in their good will toward
their white successors. Even now
it is not too late to recognize their
loyalty.

MEXICAN LABOR
OFFICIALS FIGHT
TEACHERS STRIKE
Line Up with Governor
Against Unions
BY BERTRAM D. WOLFE

PUEBLA, Mexico, May 31.-When
the governor of the state of Puebla in
March of this year tried to put into
effect in his state the national policy
of economies at the expense of the
workers and employees of the govern
ment which Gales has inaugurated
with the federal employees, he struck
an unexpected obstacle in the teach
ers of the state. They were suffering
already from the non-payment of
thirty decennial salaries that is to say,
of 800 days of back pay owed since
the state went bankrupt during the
De la Huerta uprising. The governor
proposed to fire many and reduce the
pay of the rest and continue to forget
the back pay. The teachers, indign-
ant, formed a union and called for the
aid of the labor federation of the state
affiliated with the Confederation Re-
gional Obrera Mexicana &C. r. o. M
which is the principal labor organiza-
ton of the nation.

The state labor federation pro-
missed aid to the teachers and appeal

Chamber of Commerce
Makes Labor Survey

WILKES BARRE, Pa, May 81
The Wilkes Barre chamber Of COM
merce says it wants more female
workers in Wilkes Barre so that more
silk mills and other concerns using
women workers can be started. The
chamber desires to attract wives and
daughters of miners to the proposed
new Industrial concerns.
It is believed that such new workers
would be partially dependent on their
husbands and fathers in the coal
mines and consequently would not
make embarrassing wage demands.
A survey Of available labor is now
being conducted by the chamber with
the idea OF attracting more capital and
employers to the city.

Judges Do Boss-bddlna
The injunction granted by Judge
Kittle at the request of coal com
panies illustrates how far the courts
will go in denying the fundamental
rights Of organization to workers who
oppose oppression by employers.
1t enjoins the unionists from inter
fering in any unlawful way with the
coal companies; from making any
threats or suggestions of danger Oh
creating the appearance of danger,
and from any show of force in num-
bers of assembly In the vicinity of the
mines; from threatening or intimida-
ting any persons going to work in the
mines and from the use of insulting
names or any insulting words and
especially the word scab.
1t enjoins the miners from gather

person to quit, cease or refrain from
working, from doing any acts what
soever in the furtherance Of any com
bination or conspiracy or other unlaw-
full acts for the purpose of preventing

The picnic Saturday Of the chicaac

after nIghtfalI. II was the first pic

and the fine weather blended with the
pleasure-seekina desire of the crowd

In the afternoon the chief item OF
interest was the speech of William
2. Foster, secretary of the T. U. E. L

to Soviet Russia. The subject, Rus

fact that the success of the Russian
revolution in attaining a better life
both materially and culturally, than
they could have dreamed of under the
old regime, is positively proven.
Soviet Success Cannot Be Concealed
The inability of the propaganda
forces of capitalism thruout the west

Not Only Observation-Disclosures Action,
Foster urged that the members of
organized labor who are connected
with the Communist movement as
members or sympathizers not only In

Johnston claims that if all the chal-
lenged ballots are thrown out Ander-
son will lose by 5000. But the fact
remains that the Johnston machine
gets its vote from blue sky" locals,
and the total number of ballots cast
first supposed to be only $4,000, is
found out to be nearly 100000 This
indicates some fancy padding by

bership, according to reports.
Since the DAILY WORKER re-
leased the news that Johnston has
sent for general counsel, Mulholland,
in an effort to pick flaws in the And
erson vote enuf to elect "B. & o. Bill"
a revulsion of feeling in the member
ship against the union election being
adjudicated by lawyers, has caused
Johnston to deny that he sent for
Mulholland to come to Washington

Secretary Must Make Announcement.
The mischief of all legal advice and
legalist rulings, Is that when the ma.
chine wants it applied to throw out
Anderson votes, it boomerangs back
and slices off more Johnston votes
than Anderson ones.
Secretary Treasurer Davidson is sup
posedly compelled by the constitution,
to make an announcement, but if he
does he has also virtually to make rul-
ings on the legality of ballots. The
machine faces a revolt if Davidson
dares to announce that Johnston is
elected, as such announcement can be
made only by the grossest discrimina-
ton in allowing illegal Johnston votes
to be counted and equally fragrant out
