Workers Inclined
To Change Names

umana, iNeo. iu wnais in a
name?" asked William Shake
speareand the more than 200
Indians working for the Union Pa
cific railroad have the same
thought.
The "vanishing Americans,"em
ployed by the railroad as track
laborers in the western states, do
plenty of vanishing and then re
appear usually with different
names.
The Indians' names often de
scribe them, such as Guy Laugh
ing, Joking Policeman, Old wag
on, Crippled Boy, Buster White
Horse, George Kneebone, Charley
Many Goats. Whisky Boy, Fur
Hat Boy, Wool Boy Son-in-law and
Poor Man s Kid.
Comes payday and off goes an
Indian on an extended "holiday."
When he returns to work, Old
Wagon may have New Wagon,
Many Goats may have sold his
goats, and Guy Laughing may be
frowning, men, the railroad can
expect Fur Hat Boy to give his
name as Straw Hat Boy and Whis
ky Boy to apply as Rum and coke.
', The change of titles Is a head
ache to the retirement board
which has charge of social secur
ity and unemployment benefits
,'for the railroad workers. Social
security numbers have little
meanin" to the Indians. If they
don't remember their number
they sometimes substitute one
that is fairly close. When they are
1 asked If they have worked for the
railroad previously, they may nod
in the affirmative II they think it
;will help them and on the other
hand, they may say no.
The accounting department tries
to check through personnel rec
ords but many of the Indians
don't know who their parents
were or where they went to
school, unless it was in "Arizona."
Signatures aren't of much help 1
since one X looks pretty much like
another X and that is the usual
method of signing.

Washington, March 22 Ul'i
Chester (Red Points) Bowles
wants to regulate the cost of a
shave and haircut. He is, as you
shall see, a brave man.
He told the senate banking and
currency committee that the price
of barbering has increased 29
per cent. He rubbed his well
scraped chin and sfiid he thought
his OPA ought to shave these
tonsorial profits.
"But the barbers have one of
the most powerful lobbies of all,"
exclaimed Senator.Glen H. Taylor
of Idaho. "They're hanging on the
coat tails of the doctors. They
say If you regulate the price of a
haircut you ve got to regulate the
price of an appendicitis opera'
tion."
"Uh," began Bowles.
"And you don't think," said
Senator Eugene D. Mlllikln of
Colorado, "that so long as barb
ers shave men with razors, any
body Is going to vote against 'em,
do you?"
"Uh," Bowles began again.
"And isn't it a fact," asked Sen
ator Burke B. Hlckenlooper of
Iowa, "that some barbers are
better barbers than others and
can charge more?"
The senators sat back then and
waited for an answer from the
husky Bowles, who was wearing
a shirt that was no good example
of what he was about to say.
I "Oh," he began once more.
i "Yes, gentlemen I suppose, barb
ers are like laundries. Some give
you fine service and finish your
shirts exactly the way you want
'em and ..."
"Mr. Bowles," interrupted Sen.
Charles W. Tobey of New Hamp
shire, "what laundry is that?"
"Uh," Bowles began.
"And I'd also like to suggest,"
said Senator Milliken, "that barb
er shops and beauty shops are
great news disseminating agen
cies. You've got to consider that."
Bowles changed the subject. I
can't say that I blame him. He
took up the price of movie tick
ets. He said they ought to be cut
and that he was the boy to do it.
"I think you are absolutely
right," agreed Senator Tobey. "I
have been going to the movies
and I can say that the cost of
pictures must have gone down.
There are more mediocre actors
now and fewer good pictures.
They couldn't cost as much as
they used to."
Bowles didn't want to say yes
and he didn't want to say no. So
ne man t say anything.
"But you must cover baseball
games if you cover movies," said
Senator Robert A. Taft of Ohio.
Bowles said he supposed he must.
"And Broadway shows," Taft
snapped.
"Oh, now senator," Bowles cried,
"you're putting us in the position
of having to decide how good a
Broadway show is, ' before iwe
price it. We wouldn't want to do
that." .
"Perhaps some member of this
body could help you," suggested
Senator Tobey.
"That is," amended Senator
Taft, "If Mayor LaCunrdia would
let you." . i
"Uh," said Bowles. I didn't hear
what else lie had to say. I got out
of there. I give you one guess,
why. .
