RED AND WHITE: BROTHERS 10 BE) DISCUSSED HERE Friend of Indians Will Tell of Their Relationship With Paleface Brethren “Red and White Brothers” will be the subject of an address which Miss Hope Elizabeth Haupt of Washington," D. C., who calls herself a friend of the Indian, and whom the Sioux call “Cate Skule,” (True Heart) — will Sunday night at McCabe Church, Her address will be. interspersed with songs of the Sioux, Chippewa and Oneidas, and fresh experiences with native Americans in the field and ‘at home. Miss Haupt, who is compiling ma- terial for a magazine article to be entitled, “Northwest Indian Trails,” has visited a majority of the Indian tribes in the United States, from the Seminoles of the Florida everglades to the Teton Dakotans of the great plains. “In the darkness covering their pro- ceedings, the enemies of the Indians have worked too long,” said Miss Haupt this morning, discussing the future of the American aborigine. “Let in the light of public opinion and things will be changed. The vastly significant thing at present is that the pressure is coming from within. At least the Indians are clamoring for equal rights with their white brothers. As one old Sioux, Long Bull, said elo- quently in the council lodge, ‘when- ever a white soldier went over the top, an Indian soldier went by his side; whenever a white boy lay in a hospital, an Indian boy lay in the next bed. Shall not hose white boys and Indian. boys stand shoulder to shoulder still in our country. Ten thousand soldiers stood by our flag, AND HALF WERE SIOUX; $2,000,000 was given outright to the Red Cross by the red- men, and $52,000 subscribed in Lib- erty loan. Does not all this call to our white brothers to let us be cit- izens of this land we have shared with them?’ “Brotherhood! That is the simplest, and, it is thought in some quarters, the hardest way'out,” continued Miss Haupt. “If the white men has been as eager for his red brother’s welfare and improvement as for the redman’s land and money ,there would be no Indian problem today.” Tht public is invited to hear Miss Haupt tomorrow.

WANY LIVES ARE IN DANGER WHEN $00 TRAINS MEET Mrs. William Suckow Has Tooth Loosened in Head-on Col- lision at Falkirk The head-on collision between a} southbound passenger and a north! bound frieght train on the Soo at Fat- kirk, about five miles south of Under- wood last Tuesday evening might have resulted seriously if it had not been for the fact that the passenger train engine was equipped with a snow-plow. Rey, and Mrs. William Suckow, who had been at the district meeting of the Evangelical church at Good- rich, were returning to Bismarck 02 the train. st as they reached Fal- rk, they felt the air brakes sudden- ly applied, but before the train could be brought to a complete stop, the two engines crashed into each other. The passengers in the southbound train were hurled forward in their seats and Mrs, Suckow was struck on the mouth, loosening one of her teeth. There was considerable excite- ment for a few minutes, but When it was discovered that the accident was not very extensive, the passengers were claimed, The passenger engine, had forced the snow plow which was attached to it under the pilot of the freight engine, turning that heavy engine to one side, thereby probably averting a serious accident. Neither train was overturned, altho the freight engine Was derailed, The accident happened about 5:30 in the evening while a heayy snowstorm obscured the view of the engineers. It was necesary to send a wrecking crew from Bismarck to clear the wreck. The freight train was pulled back to Washburn and then the pas- senger train was permitted to coat tinue its trip to to this city arriving here at 5:30 Wednesday morning. While waiting for the track to be cleared, the passengers raided the small general store at Falkirk and had a repast consisting mostly of crackers and cheese, CHANGES: IN INTEREST RATES OF RESERVE BANK ANNOUNCED: BY YOUNG Minneapolis, Noy. 8—Changes in in- terest rates thruout the ninth federal reserve distiif{t to become effective today .were announced by R.

President Henry Drennan’s strike order was posted on mine workers’ bulletin boards Friday afternoon. In most instances the night shifts went on as usual Friday evening, but this morning only such men as required to operate the pumps and keep the fires going to prevent serious damage to the mines reported for duty. No disorder attended the walkout anywhere in the state, so far as can be learned this morning. At Wilton, which-has-the largest: mine workers’ local in the state, 275 men quit work this morning, but they are good natured, friendly to their company, the Wash- burn Lignite, and there is not the least evidence of ill feeling. As provided for in. their contract, the Wilton local assigned to duty for the duration of the strike a sufficient number of men to keep o operate the electric light plant, and to work the pumps and prevent any permanent damage to Notice Friday Afternoon Adam Kraft, president of the Wilton local, received a message conveying President Drennan’s strike order yesterday after- noon. Mr. Drennan was then en route to his home at Billings, and the local source ofthe mes- The Wilton miners met last night and agreed '|to go out in obedience to this order. The night shift at Wilton got out about forty carloads of coal. All of this fuel has been billed out, and when the cars pull out of the yards, the Washburn Min- ing company’s dumps will have been cleaned. There is no ac- cumulation of coal at any of the organized lignite mines, so far as can be learned, and shipments from these mines probably will cease entirely by Monday night, unless a system of allocating the coal is adopted. Non-Union Mines Operating Non-union mines are still op- erating. The largest of these, at Beule, reported this morn- ing that its full force was on the job, and that there was no strike in prospect. The United Mine Workers endeavored for a year to gain a foothold at Beulah. It did organize a local there, and the miners struck for recogni- tion, which was denied them. They finally left the union and returned to work. z BAKER TO WASHINGTON Capt. I. P. Baker, former federal fuel administrator for North Dakota, left this morning for Washington D. C., aS a representative of Governor Frazier, in an effort to induce the rail- way administration to release — for shipment into North Dakota the thous- ands of tons of bituminous and an- thracite coal assigned to this state and now being held at the head of the lakes, During the war, when North Da- kota lignite mines were running at full blast, it burned native! coal and :shared its bituminous and anthracite with other states less favorably sit- uated.
