eooked2

We Must Assist Our Indian Brothers
To HeIp Themselves: Boftom|y

The white race has been living
under spiritual, moral, and legal re-
straints for some 1000 years, gradu-
ally acquiring the attributes (sup-
posedly) of our civilization, while
the Indian here in the West at least
has been exposed to our ideas; re-
ligion, law, and civilization for only
two generations.
"a WONDERFUL PEOPLE"
We should not expect the Indians
as race, even with such fine assist
ance as they have had in some in
stances to virtually pull themselves
by their bootstraps through the
struggles of thousands of years, spir-
itually, morally, economically and
legally, in such a short period of
time. Yet you have made numerous
Announcements all along the line. You
are wonderful people. You are en-
titled to justice. So many honest,
good and well-meaning white people
are afraid to speak out in your be-
half, in behalf of the interests of
Indians.
The Indian Reorganization Act of
1884, in my opinion, is the best In
dian legislation ever enacted by our
Congress. The second paragraph of
that Act provides: "The existing peri
DDS of trust placed upon any Indian
lands and any restrictions on ahena-
ton thereof are hereby extended and
continued until otherwise Invested
by Congress" That Act can engender
self-reliance and pride in every In
dian. Your lands hereunder may be
kept intact. 1t is my hope that every
Indian reservation might come under
it. You will then be in a better posi-
ton to work out your own problems,
in your own best interests and in your
own way You will be in a position to
then fully cooperate with, I hope,
an understanding government in its
historic policy of partnership, in help
ing you to keep your land. You older
people know how land values have
advanced during the past 20-30 years
with the terrific increase in popula-
ton and the terrifying pressure of
big business for land, more land.
You must have friends in and out of
Congress and you, each one, must
give your best or you too will join
the landless class.
When our needy brother Indians
stretch out their hands for help in
obtaining that which our government
has agreed is theirs, can we say
arise and walk?" May we help the
indians to further help themselves,
their native dignity, their
their faith, their hopes,
aspirations, and abundant life for the
future.

WAGE.H0UR GROUP
CRACKS DOWN ON
WAGE VIOLATORS

NEW YORK, N. Y.-The Wage
Hour Law gives the Wage-Hour Di-
vision Administrator the right to in
spect company books and question
employees for compliances. Half the
employers investigated are in viola
ton, some for technical reasons but
many for outright underpayment of
wages. Last year, $12 million in back
wages was found due. This year, the
pace of Investigations will be stepped
up 500.
The Division announces a300-man
increase in it's staff of investigators.
A total of 25 new field offices have
been opened up throughout the coun-
try in the past month. Each office
serves as headquarters for a small
staff of investigators.
The Wage-Hour administrator may
Supervise" payment of back wages
to employees, and, if written consent
is given by the employees involved,
may sue for the wages ON their be-
half. The administrator may also
seek injunctions or criminal penalties.
Employees may bring wage suits in
federal or state courts, without the
of the administrator. On
their own suits, employees may re-
cover unpaid minimum wages and
overtime, an additional equal amount
as punitive damages, and reasonable
attorneys fees and cost of the action.
