Indians Organize To Secure Funds
For Wrangell Industry

By Louis F. Paul, President
Wrangell Cooperative Association,
Indian Reorganization Act.
The Indian Reorganization Act
was made applicable to Alaska by
amendment to the original law in
the spring of 1885. The Act was en-
dorsed and the amendment was sup
ported by the convention of the Al
aska Native Brotherhood in Wran-
CELL previously. At Metlakatla the
Brotherhood repudiated its previous
endorsement through the machin-
ations of men both willing and nm
whiting tools of spokesman for pol
iticians. With the recognized voice
of the Alaska Indians opposed to the
IRA in Alaska, progress has been
somewhat hindered and slow.
The IRA to the Indian both of
the States and Alaska is the RFC
to the citizens of the States. In
dutsry is able to borrow funds from
banks under the RFC when industry
shows possession of sufficient secur-
tiles. The Indian, generally without
business or negotiable property vas
unable to benefit under the RFC
hence Congress provided a means OF
economic readjustment under the
IRA.
Opposing Arguments
AS stated before, some men at the
Metlakatla convention were willing
tools of interests opposed to the
principle of the IRA. Others were
sincerely opposed to the Act and
hence were unwittingly used az
tools by the opposition.
The argument of those opposed tt
the law was that the Indian Bureau
would secure a control over the AL
aska Indians and, under such con
trol, hard fought for citizenship
would be lost; that the loan features
of the Act was merely bait to viii
the support of the Indians; tina
once accepted by the Indians th,
IRA would create system of reser
yations from which they would b.
governed by agents and they woul,

JOHN MAGNUSSEN SUFFERS
HAND INJURY IN ACCIDENT

John Magnussen, high school stu
dent suffered a painful injury Tues
day night when his left hand was
caught in the bread molder of the
American Bakery where he works
after school hours. 1t was five min
utes after the accident occurred be-
fore his hand could be extrieated
and by that time it was badly flat
tened, X-ray examination disclosed
that no bones were broken with the
exception of small chip from one
finger.
While excruciatingly painful, it
is believed the hand will heal with
out permanent injury.
The Wrangell sentinel. (Wrangell, Alaska) 1909-current, 1938-12-09

Since that time all of the leaders
of the opposition, save one, have
signed petitions to the Indian De-
partment requesting benefits of this
law be extended their communities
and that under the loan feature of
the law they be granted large sums
of money with which their credit
might be established. To date the con-
situations and charters for Sitka,
Kasaan, Hydaburg and Klawock
have been completed and accepted
by those people while other COM
munities have their applications for
charter in also.
