| ribal Council Holds
Regular June Session

The Blackfeet Tribal Business
Council held their regular June
meeting last Thursday. Various
matters of Importance were dis.
cussed. the most important of
which. locally. was the fish and
game situation of the reservation
and the appointment of game
warden.
Joe Brown introduced a resolu-
ton authorizing certain members
of the tribe to seine fish at Low
er St. Mary's lake for CONNER
cial purposes. This was passed
unanimously.
Next, and in line with the
above. Leo Kennerly made mo.
ton, seconded by Brian Connolly
that all non members be Informed
that fishing on the lake is forbid
den to them. Motion carried.
George Henkel was instructed to
notify all interested parties and
warn them of the action of the
council.
At this point, fireworks started
as Phil Aubrey introduced mo.
ton forbidding all non-members
from fishing on the reservation.
After some discussion, the mo-
ton was withdrawn. Later.
another motion was made to re-
adopt the Blackfeet fish and
game laws with the exception of
Section IL, but in the discussion
that ensued and which was ra-
Their acrimonious at times. no
second was made and the motion
died.
The exploratory oil and gas
lease form applied FOR by Ed.
Reagan of Cut Bank was approx
ed. The lease calls for 10000
acres of tribal lands located in
the northeast corner of the res.
ervation and Mrs. Reagen was
instructed to make his final selec-
ton of land report back to the
Council at their next meeting,
June II.
The St. Mary's lake land pur-
chase program was again consid
cred and the council decided to
defer final action until their June
II meeting. About $500 of tri-
bal funds are involved.
A delegation of six Gros Ven
ture Indian councimen headed by
their chairman, Rufus Warrior
appeared before the council to
discuss the joint claim of the
two tribes against the govern
ment and also the engaging of
tribal attorneys to press this
matter. The Council requested
the eros Ventre to return July 5
when both Councils could by that
time agree on what attorneys
they would engage.
The Council at this time went
over the figures for the election
among the full bloods held May
81 for honorary membership on
the Council. For the north side,
Wades in the Water was declared
the winner with Theodore Last
Star. Louis Champine and Rides
at the Door following in the or
der named. The south side In
dams would have nothing to do
with the election and made no
choice.

FIRE AT CROTON
 SUBMARINE BASE
Extensive Damage Done To Pier--Investigati0n
 Has Already Begun

Groton, Conn, June 18.--(UP)-- Fire of undetermined. origin caused extensive damage at a pier of the U. s. submarine base here today Submarine base officials immediately named committee of officers to investigate the cause of the blaze The fire broke out on the further end of one of the piers and pre- liminary estimates placed damage at about $10.000. The investigation was called despite, the fact the officials said there was no suspicion of sabot- age.
 A submarine, the R-4 which was moored at the pier when the fire broke out was removed hastily to Q safer region. The submarine was not damaged. Fire fighting units were summoned from the submar. inc base, Groton and New London, It took firemen several hours to ex- tinguish the fire.

WATERBURY IS
 NAMED IN LIST
One Of Six Cities To Show Big Increase In
 Industries

Hartford, Conn, June (UP) --- Industrial activity in May increased in Waterbury. Torrington. Thomp- sonviile, Hartford. Bridgeport and Norwalk districts, State Labor Com missioner Cornelius J. Dahaher an- nounced today. No definite change in conditions was reported for the Ansonia, Bristol, Danielson. Dan- bury, New Britain, New Haven, New London and Stamford areas. Re- ports from the four offices at Meri- den, Middletown, Norwich, and Will limantic were less favorable and in- dica.ed some declines in industry.
 The influence of the domestic rearmament program and foreign situation upon Connecticut industry was irregular.
 May initial claims for unemploy- ment benefits were down 17.7 per cent from the previous month, al- though compensable claims and benefits paid were slightly higher Job placements by local offices in- creased 16 per cent over April and were IS per cent greater than in May, 1889.
