INDIAN CLAIMS
By Felix S. Cohen, Associate
Solictor V. S. Dept, of Interior
Congressional enactment of the
Indian Claims Commission Act on
July 29 reminded many Americans
of unfinished business in a widely
misunderstood field of national
policy. Race relations constitute a
field in which superstition and
misinformation flourish mightily,
but there are few subjects even in
this field on which misconceptions
are as widespread as that of our
first Americans and their statuts.
According to common belief the
Indian is the vanishing American;
his eyes fixed on a past that is
gone with the wind, robbed of his
lands and deprived of the rights
of citizenship, confined to a reser
vation. he is a standing monument
to the evils of bureaucracy and pa
ternalism. Fortunately the facts of
the case are very different Indi
ans today arc the most rapidly in
creasing group in our population.
They are entitled to all rights of
citizenship; and in the three stat
es where their voting rights have
not yet been completely recogni
zed North Carolina. New Mexico,
and Arizona, legislation is now un
der way to vindicate these rights.
Indian reservations are simply the
lands that still belong to the In
dians; no Indian is compelled to
live on his own land. During the
past decade th elndians' land hol
dings have increased their econo
mic status has improved, their
contributions to American life in
arts and crafts, agriculture, gov
ernment and military enterprise
have reached new heights. Even in
Alaska, where thenatives have al
ways contributed as large a pop
ulation as do the Negroes in Miss
issippi and have occupied a gener
ally similar social status, the tra
ditional pattern is rapidly breaking
up. Jim Crow practices have been
outlawed and after waiting for 60
years the natives are finally se
curing recognition of their owner
ship rights in at least a part of
their aboriginal land holdings.

its dark pages. Had there been no
dark pages of massacre, robbery,
graft and corruption there would
be no occasion for Congress in the
year 1946 to set up an Indian
Claims Commission to pass finally
upon the claims of all our Indian
tribes based on broken treaties
and lost lands.
On the other hand there would
be no occasion for hearing Indian
claims today if our record had been
as dark as it is commonly pictured
Wrongs do not create rights. In
dian claims exist because the
rights of the American aborigines
to their aboriginal land holdings
were written into the basic doc
trines of international law, thanks
largely to the genius and courage
of a great Spanish theologian of
the sixteenth cer' p-v, co
Vittoria, whose treaties on the In
dians is the first great classic of
international law and the first
book to maintain that rights of
liberty and property belong to
men as men regardless of race,
creed, or nationality. And so it
came to pass that in hundreds of
treaties, agreements and acts of
Congress, we have pledged res
pect for Indian land holdings, for
the right of the Indian to decide
when and how their aboriginal
possessions should be sold to the
United States, and generally for
the fight of the Indians to main
tain their own tribal laws, cust
oms, and local governments so
long as they see fit to do so.
This expression of the national
conscience represents an indestr
uctible aspiration of the American
people. It establishes the highest
standard that any conquering race
has ever set up to govern its re
lations with a native population.
The Federal Government has spent
somewhere in the neighborhood of
$800,000,000 in purchasing from
the Indians lands which other go
vernments might have confiscated.
It has spent perhaps as much
asjain in gratuitously providing
educational, sanitary and other ser
vices of civilization to Indian com
munities. The norm and the pat
tern fixed by Congress in the
Northwest Ordinance of 1787 has
been one of fair and honorable
dealings.
We have fallen at times from
the high standard which we set
ourselves as a nation. It would be
miraculous if the process of buy
ing 2’; million square miles of
land, the largest real estate deal
in history, did not develop a cer
tain number of misunderstandings
difficulties and mistakes, in trac
ing boundaries, in determining
which of several Indian tribes had
1 the best claim to a given area, in
seeing that promised payments
were faithfully delivered to those
entitled to receive the payments.
These are the errors which Con
gress has from time to time in
the past striven to rectify through
special jurisdictional acts allowing
particular tribes to bring suit in
the Court of Claims; and it is er
rors of this type which Congress
has now authorized a special In
dians Claims Commission to ex
amine and adjudicate. The action
of Congress is one that will be ap
plauded throughout the United
States and throughout the world
by all who know that the rights
of each of us in a democracy can
be no stronger than the rights of
our weakest minority—by all who
have understood the golden words
spoken 2,000 years ago by a re
presentative of all oppressed peo
ples, "Even as ye do unto the
least of these so ye do unto me.”

INDUSTRIAL -—
NEWS
REVIEW
j
A._'
JOBS AND WAGES
Labor has received enormous
gains in the form of wage inchea
ses, reduced hours of work, wel
fare funds, and so on. Even so,
there are rumors of new labor
drives to obtain still greater bene
fits. There is talk of more strikes
in basic industry, which would sti
fle production and thus contribute
to greater inflation.
What labor should realize is
that destruction of industry, .and
policies which unreasonably in
crease the operating of industry..
will destroy labor's gains. An ex
cellent example of this is the coal
industry. To auote Coal Age, "coal
will have to be mined because th«
country cannot do without it. Thai
alone should assure good business
although not encessarily profita
ble prices..for at least a year or
two more. But the increased co-t^
imposed on the industry, .plus the
production interruptions that have
kept the users of coal In a lather
sinre the war started, favor a com
petitive upsurge that can cost coa'
a great deal of business and min
ers a great deal of earnings unless
prompt steps are taken in the dir
ection of less interference with
management, rewer proautaioii
stoppages and higher efficiency.
Coal now is definitely on the dan
ger line—if not over it..”
If coal costs eventuallv go too
high, industrial users will find a
cheaper power substitute. And then
the tens of thousands of jobs coal
mining provides will disappear.
Labor wants good pay. And la
bor also wants an abundance of
jobs. These are legitimate goals.
But when labor demands too much
it starts a process which can de
stroy the very source of its live
lihood. This is simplv one more ex
ample of the fact that you can't
have your cake and eat it too.
NOTHING IT “GOOD ENOUGH'
So far as the consumer is con
cerned, the main job of the oil in
dustry is to provide him with a
constant, reasonabbly priced sup
ply of gasoline, fuel oil and other
petroleum products when and
where he wants them and in the
grades desired.
Looking at the oil industry from
the point of view of the long pull,
however, some activities which
few consumers ever see at first
hand are of even greater impor
tance.
First, it isn’t enough just to have
sufficient oil in sight for this year
or next year.
The industry must think five,
ten, even twenty years ahead. Its
spends enormous sums in prospec
ting new potential oil-bearing areas
It sinks deeper wells, in order to
get the most out of every field. It
carries on elaborate conservation
activities to safeguard oil reserves
As a result of this, vast new re
serves are constantly being disco
vered.
Second, it carries on unceasing
laboratory work to develop better
oils and lubricants. The many spe
cial fuels used for military pur
poses during the war, such as gas
oline of extremely high octane con
tent. are an example of this. The
great progress made is now being
adapted to civilian needs. So, lit
tle by little, you get better gas for
your car.
Great producing industries must
also be great research industries.
Nothing must ever be considered
good enough—instead, a constant
search must be made for some
thing better. Oil typifies that in
dustrial philosophy.
INDEPENDENT STORES
ORGANIZE
The independent retail stores of
the country are getting set to meet
whatever competition the chains
have to offer in this postwar per
iod. That is the gist of a recent
article in the Wall Street Journal.
As the Journal says, “significant
of the determination to keep the
pace is the fact that more and
more independent merchants are

associating themselves with large
central supplying organizations,
which, because of their giant size
can offer to their small retail as
sociates merchandizing advantages
enabling them to compete with the
big chain outlets".
Some of these big supply outfits
furnish dry goods. Some furnish
foods. They all work on the prin
ciple of big turnover and small
unit profits, .which is precisely
the principle that led to success
for the big chains. One of the old
fashioned alliances has more than
5000 independent stores affiliated
with it thus out-distancing any
chain organization.
This is the kind of progress that
makes fair competition for all re
tailers. .and guarantees maximum
service and economy for the con
sumer. Chain competes against
chain, independent competes again'
st independent, .and chains and in
dependents compete against each
other. And the customer profits
thereby.
No one need worry about the
chains driving the independents
out of business. The intelligent in
dependent gives the chains plenty
of competition. It gets its fair
share of the business. And the pu
blic benefits all along the line.

ARTICLE STIRS DEBATE j
The following is the text of a
'^ter sent to Louis Mason Jr., as-!
sistant Industrial secretary of tfie j
J ban League of Pittsburgh, Pa.,!
to A. F. Whitnev, president, Bro
therhood of Railroad Trainmen.
Mason wrote to Whitney after the
appearance of the union presi
dent’s article 'Brotherhood of Man
j in a recent issue of Labor Re
| Ports. Brotherhood. Mason believ
| es, also means Negro membership
I in the Railroad Trainmen’s un
ions.
Mr. A. F. Whitney, President
Brotherhood of Railroad Train’n
Standard Building
Cleveland, Ohio
Dear Mr. Whitney:
On behalf of the Industrial Com
mittee of the Urban League of
l Pittsburgh, I am writing you con
cerning your very fine article en
titled. “Brotherhood of Man.”
1 which appeared in a recent issue
of LABOR REPORTS.
Meedless to say we enjoyed the
complete presentation of the
t ’erne, especially the simple and
d --ect wording that you used. Most
important of all, we agree with
your formula which would imple
ment the attainment and perse
cution of these ideas which up un
til today have made and kept
America great.
Mowever, Mr. Whitney, the com
mittee has a few ideas that it
would like for you to give some
consideration. The Industrial Com
mittee feels that the first step that
should be taken in achieving na
tional brotherhood is that one
step which will insure to EACH
and EVERY person within our na
tional boundaries equal opportun
ities to develop to the limit of
his capatities. We feel that this
cannot be done if unsurmountable
barriers based on race, creed, co
lor, or national origin are inter
posed during the development of
the individual. Therefore, we be
lieve that the initiation of a sound
program of cooperation on local
levels is the order of the day to
wards the achievement of the spi
rit of world brotherhood of which
you speak.
It is our assumption that your
use of the word “we"’ in your theme
was intended to include exactly
everyone. That being true, Mr.
Whitney, then we agree whole
heartedly with your statement,
“we must complete the destruction
of fascism wherever we find it.”
We suggest that you use every;
influence of your position as pre
sident of the Brotherhood of R. R.
Trainmen, to extricate and destroy
the very seeds of fascism, racial |
intolerance, wdthin the ranks of j
your local unions.
It is in these local unions where i
Negro trainmen have been limi
ted in membership or have not
been permitted to join. It is dur
ing contract negotiations that
neat, but powerful phrases, have
been conceived and used jn efforts
most of the successfully, to eli
minate Negro trainmen. The real
truth is, Mr. Whitney, that Negro
mm,-., tmmmmammm
men have lost their lives fighting
for an equal opportunity and the
retention of their jobs in that
phase of the railroad industry that
your union represents.
A simple analysis of the Nation
al situation finds you in the par
adoxical position of advocating
sound measures to implement na
tional brotherhood on the one hand
and on the other hand the organi
zation, of which you are president
denies the opportunity of brother
hood to Negroes.
Since your article said, “We
must insure the freedom of col
onial peoples,” may we suggest <
that your organization take some
immediate steps to remove some
of the “colonial” aspects that char
acterize it as an "imperialist” in
some of its activities.
It is the firm opinion of this
committee that America's great
ness and her unlimited opportun
ities in world leadership rest firm
ly and are almost entirely depen
dent upon what kir,1s of freedom
are available to its own people.
For it is fro mfreedom that “Bro
therhood of Man” evolves. It will
be that kind of human brother
hood that gives opportunity to all
and denies it to none.
Very Truly yours,
Signed.. Louis Mason, Jr.
Asst. Industrial Secretary

TWO MORE VETERANS
LYNCHED JN TEXAS
NEW —YORK, August 22nd—
Lynch terror continued unabated
in several Southern States today,
flaring up in Marshall, Texas,
where two Negro veterans met
death at the hands of “unknown
persons”. Although Texas police
attempted to characterize the lyn
chings as isolated murders, Ne
groes in Marshall live under the
pall of lynch law.
NAACP investigators have re
ported what they believe to be
two new lynchings to the National
Office in New York and are con
tinuing their investigation in spite
of an ominous lack of cooperation
by the town’s police. The two new
victims of the terror, borth form
er GI's, were Richard F. Gordon,
31. and Alonza Brooks, 25.
Gordon's death, according to the
police was at the hands of a hit
and-run driver. But one of the
people who saw his body lying on
the road before it was taken to
the morgue stated his throat had
been slashed from ear to ear, by
a knife; that his head and his
body were horribly cut and bruis
ed and that prints on the road
leading to where the vet lay, had
evidence that he had been drag
ged through the streets tied to the
rear of an automobile. Negro re
sidents in the vicinity of the kill
ing said they were awakened ear
ly in the day by two automobiles
containing groups of white men,
who were making a great deal of
noise, and who remained on the
scene of the killing until the po
lice arrived, leading to the belief
that the lynchers and police were
24 Hour Service on Bar-B-Q
Chicken and Meaty Ribs
Mr. and Mrs. Curtis Walker of
2042 North 21st St., wishes to an
nounce to their many friends and
acquaintances and public at large,
that they are serving Barbecue
Chicken and Barbecued Ribs with
lots of meat on them. Mr. Walker
says, “We do not trim meat off
our ribs. We want satisfied cus
tomers.” They are giving 24 Hr.
service. Barbecued chicken, small
pig spare ribs, juicy, tender barbe
cued beef and barbecued mutton a

of the street at 2042 No. 21st St.
in a conspiracy together.
Several days before his death,
Gordon had been questioned by
the police on a charge of stealing
his wealthy employer’s whiskey.
Although he had no knowledge of
the theft and vehemently told the
police so, he was fired. Two days
later, he was rehired, by his form
er employer, and was killed at
dawn the next morning.
There is even more mystery
about the death of Alonza Brooks
who was found dead in the woods
near Marshall, three days after
he had left home in his car to
visit friends after driving his fa
mily to church. He had no known
enemies, yet his autopsy revealed
death from blows on the nape of
his neck and stranglind. The mo
tive was obviously not robery, as
his wallet and wrist watch were
still on his person when his ho ly
was discovered.
Folks in Marshall are w’onder
ing whether there is any connec
tion in the deaths of these vets
with the possible responsibility
for the presence of MPs at the
polling places in Marshall during
the July 27th primary. Perhaps
the local fascists objected to
Negro ex-GIs taking steps to en
sure those voting rights t.hey
thought they were fighting a war
to protect.

furnace in good repair can burn
fuel economically and smokeless
ly
The Omaha Smoke Commission
this week is requesting every
home owner to have his heating
equipment cleaned and repaired
for the approaching heating sea
son.
“If we are to reduce smoke, v/c
must take this necessary action
first,” chairman Frank B. Boi
court said.
Mr. Boicourt said there are 56
thousand residential furnaces m
Omaha that use solid fuels. If
they are to be made ready for

Improper Operation
I his is a dirty furnace that needs repair. It operates inefficient
-ty and produces quantities of smoke.
A—Excessive ashes in ash pit.
B—Clinkers and excessive ashes on grate.
C—Too much fresh coal in the firepot.
A, B and C prevent sufficient air from passing through the fire
bed. This prevents proper burning of fuel and of the gases \.that a
nse from the fuel, creates smoke.
B Thick soot on interior of firepot prevents heat passing
through. The heat has to go up the chimney. i.
E—Soot and ash accmulation in the upper part of the furnace
prevents heal transfer, reduces air circulation.
B A loose or broken cleanout door permits air to by-pass the
firepox, permits gas to escape into room.
G—Cracks in the firepot permit air to by-pass the firebed. per
mit furnace gas to enter room and can start a fir\ in trash A \U> that
may have accumulated through the cold air pipe.
II Holes tusted in smoke pipe permit air to by-pass the firebed
allow jire and gas to escape in basement. A serious fire hazard.
I ^ smoke pipe that does not fit tightly in the chimney per

F Boot and ash in the bottom of the himney reduce draft.
K—Cracks in chimney permit air to by-pass the firebed, allow
gas and fire to escape in the house. A serious fire hazard.
L A thick layer of soot in the chimney reduces draft, causes
serious chimney fires.
^ Trash, lint and refuse in the cold air duct prevent circula

The Proper Operation
This furnace is clean, is operating efficiently and invith little
smoke. L
Fresh air enters ashpit at a.4q goes through grate and coal bed
