HOPI INDIANS
SNAKE DANCE
DURING AUGUST

The season of the weird Snake dance
of the Hopi Indians is close at hand
and many motorists desiring to attend
this very interesting ceremonial are
calling on the Automobile Club Of Ari-
zona for information as to date of the
ceremonial, road conditions, and other
factors connected with a successful trip
into Hopi land. Manager TreadWell OF
the club states that the date OF the
dance is governed by phases of the
moon and position of various stars,
and is rarely set an announced until
early in August.
The Hopi Indian towns of Oraibi,
Walpi and Polacca, located about q
miles north of HoIbrook, divide the
honors of holding the weird dance, the
purpose of which is to propitiate the
GODS having charge of the rain. The
Holbrook Chamber of Commerce ad-

vises all visitors to provide camp
equipage and food supplies necessary
during the stay, as the Indians make
no preparations for taking care of Wis
itors attracted by the age-old pagan
ceremony.
Large numbers of interested specta-
tors travel hundreds of miles and un-
dergo many privations to witness this
solemn awe-inspiring religious rite
that is performed nowhere else.
Hundreds will journey long distances
this year to witness these rites and
the Automobile club will be glad to
supply all with travel information.

BRICKLAYERS
Win More Pay By Short
Strike in Indianapolis

By International Labor News Service.
Indianapolis, nd.-Settlement Of
the wage dispute between the union
bricklayers and the Masons' Contrac-
tors Association has been arranged
on the basis of the increase in wages
asked for by the bricklayers. Sew
eral hundred workers have been on
strike since May / for an increase in
wages of 12h cents an hour to
$1.62R. Workmen had been receiv-
ing $1.5O an hour under the old con-
tract.
While there has been no settlement
with number of other trade unions
who have been out since April l, it is
expected that the settlement with the
bricklayers will pave the way for a
settlement of other striking building
crafts, which include painters, decor
ators, hosting engineers, hod car
riers, sheet metal workers, steam fit
ters and plumbers. All are asking
wage increases.
After contractors had refused to
treat with their employees, following
the expiration of scales, number Of
other crafts walked off the jobs in
protest to efforts of contractors to
employ non-union labor. While con-
tractors say they have no objection to
union labor it is known that a con-
certed effort has been made to make
Indianapolis and contiguous territory
"open shop"
At Hammond 500 teamsters are on
strike because the Teamsters and
Truck Owners Association refused to
grant wage increase. Union team
sters had been receiving 20 cents an
hour and demanded an increase of Is
cents an hour. As a result the entire
building program in the Calumet re-
gion is tied up.

In this year and last the new i'm
migration quota law has operated to
hold down immigration. A system of
passport wise abroad has prevented
more aliens than allowed by quota
coming here. The old quota law also
restricted immigration but not so
closely as the present one.
Departures of aliens have been at
a fair steady pace through the last
four years, ranging from about $500
to slightly more than 5000 a month.

NEGRO SEGREGATION

Washington.-The United States
supreme court has ruled that white
property owners can agree not to sell
or lease their property to a negro.
The negro appellant who asked that
a sale contract be carried out, claim
ed that the defendants action was
denial of the fifth, thirteenth and fif-
teenth amendments.
The court rules that "none of these
amendments prohibited private indi-
viduals from entering into contracts
respecting the control and disposition
of their own property"

times greater, if it were not for the
operation of the quota restriction.
immigration has a very direct
effect on business A large influx of
aliens would increase the supply of
labor, particularly unskilled labor and
thus cut wages. With the restrictions
in force, wages have reached record
levels.
