Blackfeet Making
Favorable Headwav
For Class A Money

Word from H enry Magee,
chairman of the Blackfeet Tribal
Council, W h o is in Washington
heading a delegation in quest of
financial aid for rebuilding the
cattle industry on the Blackfeet
Reservation. is that favorable
progress is being made for Sc
curing of Glass A funds. The DEL
egation e e k 5000, 900, it was
understood, with prospects that
a lesser sum will be made avail
able, at least.
Securing of Glass A funds is an
involved procedure, in which con-
gressional committees on Indian
Affairs must give their approval
as the first step.
Supt. Warren O'Hara is with
the delegation and helping them
in their quest.
1t is very likely that the dele
cation is also finding tt m e to
patronize things of educational
and cultural value. For instance,
visiting the Smithsonian Institu-
ton, where John Ewers, former
Plains Indian Museum curator,
is located; the famed Library of
Congress; the Tomb of the I'm
known Soldier; Washington's
Monument, etc.

Family Row Brings
Out Fire Dept;
Princip pals In Court

Fiery tempers of a group of re-
latives, who did combat in a local
restaurant to settle oil d scores
got so blasted hot a Friday
afternoon as to occasion the call
ing out of the fire department as
a last resort to put out the flames.
since at the particular few mom-
ents of t h e free-for-all battle
Chief Police Gould and Assistant
Brown were out of town on an
official mission.
1t was the typical row among
relatives, over everything and in
the end over nothing in particu-
lar. 1t was the kind Of row whose
validity should have enshrined it
with the famed Four Freedoms,
thus making it the Fifth Free
dom-Freedom of Relatives To
Fight 1t Out.
Yet it was too public and too
damaging of other peoples pro-
perty to win it it's otherwise de-
served dignity.
Starting in the cafe when one
of the children of the roup
made a ''homely face" at one of
the relatives, it swiftly developed
into a genuine tit-for-tat affair.
Children were slapped, m c n
swung with vicious "haymakers"
at each other and women scratch
ed7and spat.
The cafe suffered the crashing
of one of its windows and such
minor damage as would naturally
occur under the circumstances.
While the cafe operator, Fred
Follick, was generous to a fault
and asked only that the fighting
folks pay for replacement of the
broken window, Judge Lukin, in
whose police court all of them
appeared the next afternoon, was
more firm.
Joe Trombley, charged with
assault and battery, was given a
suspended 60 days sentence and
one year probation.
Chester Morgan on the same
charge got the same.
Catherine Running Rabbit on
the same charge was given a 80
days suspended sentence and one
year probation.
Theodore Guardipee on h e
same charge was fined $25, with
one y e a r probation. Guardipee
paid his fine.

FLA Convention
Outstanding Event;
Competition Keen

OAAAk>NIAIAN/AA AANNAA
With an attendance of 101
members of the FLA, besides
advisors of the several chapters,
the annual district convention at
the Browning high school last
Friday and Saturday was an out
! standing event.
Competitions among the par
! ticipants-Coirad, Cascade, Pow
er, Fairfield, Simms and Brown
ing-was very keen.
The Power chapter, w h i c h
specializes in liveetock and grain
judging, came off first in both
these events. Fairfield by plac-
ing high in all of the events. to-
tailed the most all-round points
and won the coveted sweep stakes
trophy.
Browning placed third. The
local boys are disappointed, but
their leaders feel that they did
, very well.
Over half of the local COMPETE
tors were making their first ap-
pearance in an open meet, and
therefore did less than their best
because Of ''stage fright. -
With the tremendous amount
of work necessary to prepare for
the convention, the local boys
had little time to cram for the
tests. 1t was also the first time
the group was without the SER
vices of Winslow Devereaux, who
is practically a team by himself.
Highlighting the first days
program were the evening ev-
ents. First, the public speak
ing. This was won by Bill Fleer-
chinger of Conrad, who spoke on
"Cooperatives." Steve Barcus
of Browning took second with a
talk entitled THE Rancher and
the Airplane. The event was
followed by the talent night pro-
gram. which was won by the ID
piece Simms FLA band, directed
by Wayne Duncan. Second place
went to the Browning stunt, a
comic take-off on the Andrews
Sisters, followed by a so-called
fan dance. This act was put on
by Floyd Gervais, John Powell
and Wayne Racine, had the audi
ence in stitches throughout. Sat
urday was a full day, being oc-
cupied by livestock judging. par
liamentary procedure, a meeting
of the delegate assembly, as well
as horseshoe and rifle matches,
and trips to the Plains Indian
Museum.
The day concluded with a very
successful banquet, served by {
group of mothers and teac hers
assisted by senior girl scouts.

grandfather.

8 Unions Block Labor Peace-Refuse Wage Boost
Already Accepted by Is Other Railroad Unions!

The Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi-
neers, Brotherhood of Locomotive Fire
men and Enginemen and the Switchmen's
Union of North America, representing
$4,000 railroad employees, have refused
to accept the offer of the Railroads of a
wage increase of 1917 cents an hour.
Ihls IS the same increase awarded
100000 incorporating employees by an
arbitration board in September, 1947.
This is the same increase accepted by
10000 conductors, trainmen and switch
men by agreement on November IA, 1947,
Agreements have been made with
1,l75,O0O employees, represented by nine
teen unions. But these three unions. rep
resenting only $4,000 men, are trying to
get more. They are demanding also many
new working rules not embraced in the
settlement with the conductors and train
men.
incidentally, the Switchmen's Union Of
North America represents only about 10
OF all railroad switchmen, the other $3.50
being represented by the Brotherhood of
Railroad Irainmen and covered by the
settlement with that union.
Strike Threat
The leaders of these three unions spread a
strike ballot while negotiations were still
in progress. This is not a secret vote but Is
taken by union leaders and votes are
signed by the employees in the presence
of union representatives
When direct negotiations failed, the
leaders of these three unions refused to
join the railroads in asking the National
Mediation Board to attempt to settle the
dispute, but the Board took Jurisdiction
at the request of the carriers and has been
earnestly attempting since November "a,
1S41, to bring about a settlement. The
Board on january Is, 1913, announced
its inability to reach a mediation settle
ment. The leaders of the unions rejected
the request of the Mediation Board to
arbitrate. The railroads accepted.

SAFETY COUNOIL NOTES

Safety is something everyone
should learn, and no one is ever too
old to take a lesson. Safety is the
teaching of people to avoid acci-
dents to themselves and to prevent
accidents to others. 1t requires the
acquisition of a certain fund OF
knowledge, and the application Of
this knowledge Of practical use.
If our training in safety is to be
really helpful, we must not forget
that there is more to it than the
prevention Of accidents. 1t is the
preservation of these things that go
to make lift worthwhile, health, OPP
pOrtunity and the Conservation of
material resources essential to life
and advancement.
Safety education is also the train
ing of people to travel our streets
and highways safely, both on foot
and in an automobile. The people
must learn something of modern
traffic control and most of all, they
must learn to regard the rights Of
others"
Motor vehicle drivers must be
alert of body and "mind" in order
to avert the collisions and dangers
that Turk, perhaps around the next
corner. He must not only learn how
to act in these emergencies, but
know what action to take before
hand in order to avoid them COM
pletely.
The Delaware Safety Council is
asking everyone to cooperate and
help keep the deaths by automobile
at a minimum. This can be done to
a great extent by avoiding careless
ness and preOccupation while ira
Yelling our streets and highways.
Take advantage of every OppOrtunl-
ty to put into practical use, all of
the safety helps and lessons that
have been taught to you since child
hood.
The Council presents these "Sev-
en- Keys to Safety" for your consid-
GRAFTON with the hope that you will
apply them to your every day work :
FIRST-GOod health; SECOND

ness to learn; FOURTH-KnOw-

employees, and those among the highest paid,
can successfully maintain the threat Of 3 par-
alyzing strike against the interest Of the enc
tire cOuntFy-ard against so per cent Of their
fellow employees.
The threat Of a strike cannot justify grant
ing more favorable conditions to 125, 900 em-
plOyes than have already been put IN effect
for l,l75,OOO, nor win it alter the opposition
Of the railroads to UnWaTanted wage inc

are not justified.

What MOw2

The Unions having refused to arbitrare.
the Railway Labor Act provides for the
appointment of fact-fnding board by
the President.
The railroads feel it IS due shippers.
passengers, employees, stockholders, and
the general public to know that through
out these negotiations and in mediation,
they have not only exerted every effort to
reach a fair and reasonable settlement,
but they have also met every requirement
of the Railway Labor Act respecting the
negotiation, mediation, and arbitration of
labor disputes.
hseemsunthinkable that these three unions,
representing less than 10 per cent OfFailfOad
