So the result Is this: The grand
children of the rich, proud warriors
of -in-the- Face standing pathet-
ically around the reservation office,
waiting anxiously for word from Wash
ington as to what will be done to
keep them from actual starvation
this Winter. There are all sorts of
rumors. and they travel like wild
fire over the prarieS.
The Way Out.
What is to be done this year is the
immediate and pressing problem.
Over the longtime problem there
doesn't seem to be much difference Of
opinion. Indians, agricultural agents
and resettlement agents all agree
The drought will not last forever. The
range affords pasturage for a limited
number Of cattle. They must be so
limited that they will not eat all the
grass in good year but leave about
half Of 1t standing for the next year.
That is approximately what the bison
did in the old days An experiment
in limited grazing has been carried
on for several years past on the
Standing Rock Reservation. In the
experimental area there are stretches
of standing hay foot high. 1t is
dry and juiceless, of course, but cows
can get fat on it. 1t has been a life
saver in the present emergency.
SO the only solution of the problem
seen here is to turn the Indian back
into the cattle business, to which he
is adapted. and carefully supervise
his activities at the start. There is
every reason to believe that he will
prosper again. AS for the white men
who want to live in the country
they must do the same thing on their
own initiative without the benefit OF
all the assistance Uncle Sam feels
duty bound to extend to his red
| wards.
The Government ruined them, say
the Indians. 1t made them farmers
against their will. The white man
has no such excuse to fall back on
He became q farmer on his free
choice.
But in both cases it has ended in
the same way. Red man and white
man are facing the same blank wall
of despair.

COURT AUTHORITY
|DEN|EDBYN.L.R.B. B.
Appeal to Circuit Bench Is
Held Proper Course for
Goodyear.

Contending that court of equity
cannot properly entertain an injunc-
ton suit to restrain a hearing on un-
fair labor practices, the National
Labor Relations Board today asked the
District Court to deny the injunction
petition of the Goodyear Tire & Rubber
Co., which Is scheduled for hearing
tomorrow.
The board cited a provision of the
National Labor Relations act giving
any firm cited FOR unfair labor prac-
tices an opportunity to appeal from
the Labor Boards decision to the
Circuit Court Of Appeals.
Appeal Held Proper Recourse.
Constitutional objections to the
act, which were contained in the
company's suit, should have been
raised in an appeal rather than in in
junction proceedings, attorneys for
the board told the court.
The rubber company had asked
the court to enjoin a hearing sched-
uled for July 81 on a complaint the
board lodged against the concern. A
temporary restraining order issued by
Justice Oscar r. Luhring will expire
at the hearing tomorrow.
Denying the company's statement
that its relations with its employees
have been harmonious for II years,
the board said the concerns history
has been marked by severe and vio-
lent strikes"
Contention COntradicted.
Referring to the assault on union
organizers at Gadsden, Ala, the
board fatty contradicted the COM
pany's contention that it was not re-
sponsible for the incident because it
was only a stockholder and not an
owner of the Gadsden plant.
Large public interests are con-
cerned and the issuance Of an injunc.
ton will seriously embarrass the ac-
complishment Of important govern
mental ends and will interfere with
an agency of the Government IN the
performance of its duties" stated the
board.

The expense of fencing was heavy.
His cattle would break out anyway and
other cattle would break in. AS for
general farming-the land wasn't
adapted to it and the Indian wasn't a
farmer.
First, he was told to go and live on
his quarter section. He totally lacked
the Anglo-Saxon love Of lonely places.
He always had lived in communities.

his family were unSpeakably miserable

Urged to Raise Wheat.
He was urged to raise wheat. The
Government supplied plows-so light
that they couldn't turn the tough soil
Then they tried to pillow the land with
tractors and the tractors broke down.
Then droughts came and the wheat
which had been planted was burned
up. The Indian knew that would
happen anyway. Even if he had
wanted to be farmer he knew that
the prospect was hopeless, despite all
the preaching of Indian agents and
agricultural agents. OF course, there
were notable exceptions. Up to the
present killing blow some Indians and
some white men have been very sue
cesSful farmers in the area.
But. by and large. the Indian was
forced back on the leasing of his land
to the cattle companies as the only
source of revenue. Moreover. the land
| was his and he could sell it If he
wanted to. In many cases he did.
He didn't understand the value of
money and often spent all he received
! for a few good drunks. which landed
him in Jail. Then land which had
not been allotted to the Indians was
opened to homesteading and eager
wheat raisers flocked in. The lessees
of the land for grazing naturally
! wanted to get their moneys worth.
| They turned in all the cattle which
the area would feed in a good year
They cropped the grass close There
was nothing left for a bad year.
Winds blew away the rich top soil
sown in wheat The country was
physically ruined.

GRAIN PRICES SOAR
AS DROUGHT STAYS
Corn Nears 1929 Level.
Farmers Hold Little Hope
for Relief.
By the Associated Press.

HICAGO, August 3-Cooler
weather, but little likelihood of the
heavy rains needed for the crops of
the North Central States drought area,
was predicted by Forecaster A. w.
Cook today as corn futures sold at
the highest level since 1929 and cash
corn was quoted highest in II years.
Corn future prices leaped up almost
4 cents at the opening to continue
the advance, which during the past
six weeks has been the most sensa-
tional on record. September corn
was quoted above $l09 1t sold at go
Cents in mid-June. In the cash mar
ket No. white corn was quoted above
$50. equal to the top price for No. !
hard wheat.
For Iowa, center of the corn belt,
where Gov. Clyde Herring obtained
the promise of w. P. A. aid for desti-
ttte farmers, Cook predicted thunder
n ,wers this afternoon or tonight, but
said they probably would be too light
tc benefit the crop.
7 Scattered and light showers were eX-
oected to extend into Eastern upper
Michigan tonight. The cooler tenn
peratures. which already have been
felt in the Dakotas. Kansas and
Nebraska. were expected in Iowa today
and in Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin and
Michigan tomorrow.
As the drought went into its third
month, observers predicted the corn
harvest would shrink to approximately
l5O0,OOO00O bushels, or 1,000,0G0.0 900
bushels under the average United
States production.
Damage from fast spreading blaZes

The Brule conflagation was halted
after it had devasted $500 acres in

A favorable turn in the fight

announced after a Seaplane carried

JUR|ST SC0RNS
AAA CHECKS
international News Service

One of the Supreme Court
justices who joined the majority
to crumple his pig-killing, crop
producing triple A, today added
another wrinkle to Secretary Of
Agriculture Wallace'S brow.
At the moment Wallace was
trying to curb a Senate move
ment to force publication of all
benefits over $4,000 paid by the
Agriculture Adjustment Admins
stration, Justice Willis Van De,
Vanter disclosed he had received
and returned-AAA benefit
checks totaling about $50.
The justice said he returned
the checks, paid for the wheat
curtailment on two Montana
farms owned by his late wife,
after the court held the AAA
unconstitutional. He returned
them without comment and en-
phasized he had not intended
that his own action be followed
by other beneficiaries.
Wallace did not know whether
this was the first AAA check re.
turned.
The jurist said his wife signed
the AAA contract at the begin
ming of the program.
