the board of directors of the local
Eskimo owned reindeer.
Mis> Shirley Forrester, clerk
of the U. S. Reindeer Service
made a few statements. Pete Lar
son of tiie Eskimo board disag
reed with her in respect to the
handing out of killing permits.
B. B. Mozee who had been invit
ed to be a witness presented him
self, and, as the chairman said
time was limited, he would ap
preciate it if Mr. Mozee would
submit his statement in writing,
which Mr. Mozee said he would.
Carl J. Lomen representing
The Alaska Livestock and Pack
ing Co. offered statements in be
half of the Lomen interests, for
the record, and also declared he
would appreciate writing in de
tail, after the record had been
printed.
Explained Native Animals
Bob Oomak described various
animals of this section and how
the natives relied on them for
their living.
Presents Charges Tells Stories
Reindeer Troubles
Duffy O’Connor representing
the Eskimo Board presented for
the record numerous charges and
allegations against the Lomens
concerning alleged robbery of
reindeer and subjugation of na
tive interests, charging them with
attempting to wipe out native
ownership. He recounted stories
of events which occurred from
! the beginning of the industry
Juptodate. offering various docu
ments for introduction into the
. records. They were accepted for
what they were worth by the,
Committee. Herding, grazing,
slaughtering, check on the deer,
and other problems which the
natives declare are hampering
them in developing the industry
and providing a living for them
selves. were other subjects, also
including objection to the present
system employed by the U. S.
Reindeer Service.
When questioned by Chairman
Thomas as to suggestions, Mr.
O'Connor recommended cold stor
ages for the natives, fur farms,
cooperative stores, industrial
scnoois. the re-instatement ft ts.
B. Mozee, as general reindeer
supervisor. He further recom
mended the printed of the Nash
and Ryan reports on reindeer in
vestigations.
Other members of the board
spoke and coincided with O'Con
nor’s recommendations, and all
listing complaints first against
the Lomen Company and second
against the U. S. Reindeer Ser
vice, as being detrimental to their
1 welfare in the reindeer industry.
Miss Forrester, clerk for the
Reindeer Service, explained cer
tain scopes of the service. Sen
ator Thomas suggested her chief
would probably make a st^e
j meat after the record was print
ed and therefore it would not
be necessary for her to go into
detail.
Other Side Invited To Make

j statements regarding charges and
j other testimony introduced con
j cerning the reindeer.
Carl J. Lomen, for the Lomen
I Company offered to make state
ments, and dealt with his side
I of the controversy in establish
' ing the industry, their troubles
; in establishing a market, costs
and expenses of herding, slaught
I erir.g, storage, transportation and
freight, sales expense etc.
He disagreed with numerous
statements of Duffy O’Connor con
cerning Lomen activities and pol
I icies, pointing to the extent 'of
their organization and the man
ner of having Eskimos do their
work, receiving pay for same.
As regards some of the charges
(made by O’Connor he stated
their concern had been subject
to numerous government investi
gations, and had received exonera
tion. Mr. Lomen described at
some length details of the pro
gress of the reindeer industry,
its growth, which he estimated
to number in 1931, 1,000,000 deer
in Alaska, and which he said
should, if proper handling had
resulted should n.ow number 2,
000,000 reindeer.
On this subject, O’Connor esti
mated approximately 750,000 rein
deer in Alaska.
Going further, Mr. Lomen de
scribed the interests taken by
Leonard Baldwin, New York
philathropist, who was associated
with them some years ago, and
up to the time of his death. The
story of the Lcmen side of the
reindeer industry was thus por
trayed for the record, in a sum
marized manner, and also in
what manner it came into con
tact with the Eskimo or native
side of the question.
The Committee heard both
sides, interposing questions oc
i casionally when matters of which
they claimed ignorance because
of lack of technical knowledge,
were brought up. They in no
way claimed to be sitting as a
jury, but insisted on maintaining
their status as being here for the
purpose of gaining information.
Hearings Ended
Following the Testimony of Mr.
Lomen. Senator Thomas thanked
Nomeites for their cooperation
in bringing all of the material
introduced, to their attention. He
expressed regret that the Com
mittee could not remain longer
! in Nome but it was necessary
for them to call at Teller, St.
Lawrence Island, Nunivak Is-1
land and Unalaska, on a hurried
trip bock to Seattle.
The committee embarked on j
the USCG Chelan and sailed at j
midnight last night for Teller.
The name of Dr. W. B. Bell of
the Biological Survey was inad
vertently omitted in yesterday’s
issue of those in the party.
