Indian Timber Report Says Camps Underpay Indians
Special Indian Agent Jenkins reports to Commissioner Jones on Chippewa reservation timber operations in Minnesota. He cites 48,499,000 feet sold at 4.78 per thousand and 13 camps with 81.3 percent wages paid. on diminished lands 22,202,907 feet sold at 4.96 per thousand with 95.4 percent of due wages paid. He blames camp management and camp stores for abuses, notes irregular store itemization, and says many camps employ little Indian labor. Indians oppose further cutting of dead and down timber, seek common honesty, and favor two dollars per thousand for Norway pine or three dollars for white pine or government mills under the Menominee plan.
