On October IL they entered the
State of North Dakota. A week later
they reached the Heart river and on
the 26th of the month they arrived at
the first of the Mandan villages. As
has already been stated in a previous
sketch, the Five Villages. two Man.
dan and three Hidatsa villages, was
a most desirable wintering place on
account of being native center of
trade and of corn raising. As a
treaty making point it was accessible
and much used by the Plains Indians.
II at any point on the river the cx-
petition could find corn for the win
ter it would be. at the Five Villages.
Camp Described
After some search camp site was
selected on the north or east side of
the river, where there was plenty of
cottonwood timber. Gass, in his
journal, gives the following account
Of Fort Mandan: "The huts were in
two rows, containing four rooms each

things, whereas nowadays it is NOR,

originally was place where people
went to see horse racing; how la or
attention was centered on gambling
and amusement concessions; then on
exhibits and today on all dcpart-
ments.

huts we built two rooms for holding
our prov Sions and stores"
The expedition halted here until
April and in spite of the favorable
location it was no easy task to keep
the camp supplied with food. Corn
apparently was not ovcrabundant at
the Indian villages this winter and
a supply was obtained only by the
fortunate presence Of a skilled black
smith. The Indians carried on a
brisk trade in corn in exchange for
iroa tomahawks which the black
smith forged for them. Meat was OBJ
tainen by their hunters, supplemented
by Captain Clark's activity. Game
soon became scarce and the country
for 20 or 30 miles around was secured
for deer aid buffalo.
Nine Men Sent Back
When it came time to continue their
journey, the readers determined to
send back to St. Louis part of their

Demand independence
For Philippines; Rap
Calls Veto Message

WASHINGTON, (FP) May l.
In the April bulletin issued in Wash
ington by the Woman's Natl. Dem
ocratic Club, in which Mrs. j. Borden
Hartman is prominent figure, in
dependence for the Philippines is adj
vocated as an immediate duty. 1t
quotes the Democratic platform of
1924 which took that stand. It
sharply raps the veto message of
President Coolidge which killed the
plebiscite on independence proposed
by the Philippine legislature.
"By what right the United States
assumes to think for the Philippine
people, to decide what is best for
them, to judge Of their welfare and
happiness. Of their material and
spiritual progress" it says, as OBJ
scure. Apparently, in the midst Of
that group Of conservative, ROW,
imperialistic and materialistic indi-
viduals Of which Mr.. Coolidge is the
most typical example, the American
people possess God-giyen superiority
which gives them that right"

Hundred Per Centers
Help Textile BarOns
Fight Child Bureau

WASHINGTON, May 1. 49, BY
solemnly adopted resolution, the Natl.
Society, U. S. Daughters Of 1912, in
convention in Washington, declared
for the abolition Of the Federal Chill
dren's Bureau. Tn Bureau was de-
nounced as a "socia.istic and com
munistic agency" representing "the
peak Of our bureaucratic despotism."
This pronouncement " vs. aimed at
the Bureaus work in lministering
the maternity and infancy aid af-
forded in the several ST ties by the
Sheppard-Town law, and at the
Bureaus studies Of the evils Of child
labor, child poverty in mill towns, etc.
1t follows the nationwide circulariza-
ton to the membership of the Daugh-
ters of the American Revolution by
Mrs. Alfred Brosseau, head of the
latter organization, of a long docu-
ment attacking the Bureau and its
hackers. The national lobby Of the
textile manufacturers, in charge of
the fight against the pending child
labor amendment to the federal con-
stitution, used many of the same in
situations and charges. Moscow, it
was argued, was behind social reform
measures and social reform move
ments in this country.
The Daughters of 1912, like the D.
A. r., urged bigger armamens and
a strong imperialist attitude.

duced by Upholsterers Union No. Is,
in favor of a general campaign for
Organization Of the Unorganized
Workers, and referred same to the
Organization Committee 60 bring
back report. The resolution fol-
lows:
Whereas, Only a small percentage
of the workers in this city are or
gained in the trade unions; and
Whereas, The chamber Of COM
merce and the NJ. & M. are able to
dictate open shop and non-union con-
ditions because Of the weakness Of
the organized labor movement; and
Whereas, The coming Of the next
A. f. Of L. convention to this city
should serve as an impetus and slim
ulation to systematic campaign Of
all the unions in this city to organize
the unorganized workers and bring
union conditions to all industries;
therefore, be it
Resolved, That this union urge upon
the Central Labor Council to place on
its agenda the inauguration Of an in
tensive organization campaign to
bring the message of Organized Labor
to all the workers Of this city; and be
1t further
Resolved, That the Central Labor
Council takes steps to get the CO.
operation of all the trade unions in
the city so as to bring the full
strength of Organized Labor behind
this effort, so that we may have a
substantial record of achievement to
show the coming A. f. of l.. conven-
ton.
The conservative officials feared to
oppose the resolution which comes
from a progressive local union, be-
cause of the powerful opposition
movement to its leadership both from
the progressive and conservative ele-
ments. They feel that it will be Just
as well for them to kill the resolu
ton in committee or let it remain on
paper as to expose themselves by
fighting it openly.

Should Warn Workers
Because of the above mentioned fact
we hope that your organization will
warn the workers in your country Of
this insidious move of the American
capitalists and thru your press and
suborganizations broadcast informa-
ton so as to prevent the American
