 made the following statement: MT Baldwin. in behalf of the Committee, want to say that
 you, MT. lomen. and every other
 man who has been here have con | tributed well to the record, which
 We hope, when completed. will en- able the Committee to make some
 recommendations And We appre- ciate your help in making the re
 cord because without it we could
 not have. proceeded with any de- 1 gree of knowledge. As one mem Der of 1he Committee, I do not believe that the record has estab- i liShrd anything in the way of ser ious criticism of either your com~ 1 pany or others connected with the ! produc.iuh of reindeer. To mr ! it has revealed just the ,riiner.'
 C jrtr"vCrsies that arise in pnn"".
 tion with such an industry. AS
 stated once before during our
 hearings. l have never known q ! very extensive territory engaged
 in livestock production that did
 not have it's controversies and did | ] revolutions, and that is so ill Ai-
 aska. On that account it is an old story to me, and do not be
 lieve that much inequity has been
 practiced up to this time. do
 not believe that very serious mis- takes have been made other than
 might naturally be expected, but 1 do believe the time is here
 when something should be done
 in the way of directing the pro duction and creating more order l ly conditions in the future.'
 The above should be sufficient refutation to Mir Sawyer's alle- 1 cations that the action of the committee was based on charge
 which Lomen heard and was un- able to combat" There were no
 written charges before the Rein
 which were brought 10 the attem- tion of any representative of the Lomen Reindeer Corporation by any member of said Reindeer Committee For yom informa- tion. we wish to advise that in no single instance was any tele- gram or letter, which contained charges and which later were
 made a part of the record. refer

 /. The most fragrant and dastardlv of all of MT. Sawyer's statements are his notes on mavericks and others at Egavik 192S-'29, ad- dressed to Senator John B. Ken drick. page 106. In said notes Eskimo have suffered definite l losses of reindeer due to the pen ] alties imposed and the improper , application of rules by our cor porafion
 We request that the Council call for the Egavik and Shaktoo- 1 lik ercords for the years 1928 to 1932, inclusive which said re-
 cords will prove the falsity of MT. Sawver's statements. Mir 1 Sawyer had knowledge of the sys
 tenn of marking lawns and maver- icks at the Egavik herd as well
 as ther company herds, as he
 was present in Washington dur
 ing the hearings before the Ken 1 drick Committee and this ques-
 tion was fully discussed by our
 MT. Car! ], Lomen on Page 15. of the Fourth hearing on Febru-
 ary 18th, 1881.
 The range practice between the
 Egavik and Shaktoolik herds has | for several years past been that the Lomen Egavik herd mark to
 the Lomen Company all unmark-
 ed animals to which the Shaktoo- lik herd might be entitled. and that the Shaktoolik herd mark to
 the Shaktoolik Company all un-
 marked animals to which the Lo-
 men Company might be entitled.
 except where deer are marked to
 cover lovers and shorts.'
 Only this past year. 1892, the Shaktoolik Company had 1928
 adult females or cows in the Ega-
 vik herd, for which no increase
 was given and the Lomen Com Ipany had 1894 adult females or ] (Continued on Page Two)
