Schwabe expressing concern about the impact of labor strikes on servicemen and urging action against labor leaders causing these strikes. Congressman Schwabe responded, agreeing with Canon's points and vowing to continue fighting against bureaucracy and supporting the servicemen's right to write to their Congressmen. Schwabe also mentioned his efforts to abolish emergency bureaus and bureaus created by Congress. He thanked Canon for her input and assured her that her letter would help him report the reactions of his constituents with more enthusiasm."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/George%20B.%20Schwabe%20Collection%20/CAC_CC_047_1_0000_0000_0000-79th%20Congress,%201945-1947/CAC_CC_047_1_5_66_0000-Labor,%201945-1946/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_047_1_5_66_0011_thumbnail.jpg "Combatting Bureaucracy: A Call to Action")
![["A letter from U.S. Senator Fred R. Harris acknowledges receipt of a fact sheet about discrimination against Indians in Rapid City public schools and promises to take action. The fact sheet highlights the lack of transportation services for Indian students living in low-income areas, citing safety concerns and disparities in funding allocation. The letter argues that the school district's refusal to provide transportation services is unjust and discriminatory, particularly towards economically disadvantaged Indian families. It also questions the district's handling of Title I funds meant for culturally deprived students."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Fred%20R.%20Harris%20Collection/CAC_CC_026_1_235_15_0000-Indian%20Affairs,%20Education,%20B-Z,%201971%20(2)/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_026_1_235_15_091_thumbnail.jpg "Discrimination in Rapid City Public Schools and the Fight for Equal Educational Opportunities")
![["The United States Senate received a reply from the Bureau of Indian Affairs regarding alleged discrimination against Indian children in Rapid City public schools. The Bureau arranged for the transfer of two school buses to assist with transportation for Indian students. The Senator forwarded the concerns to the Department of Health, Education and Welfare for further action. The Lakota Homes Community has been trying to get transportation services for their children, but the School District claims they do not qualify based on distance. The community is advocating for equal educational opportunities for their children."]](https://jones-2.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/Fred+R.+Harris+Collection/CAC_CC_026_1_235_15_0000-Indian+Affairs,+Education,+B-Z,+1971+(2)/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_026_1_235_15_001_thumbnail.jpg "Allegations of Discrimination Against Indian Children in Rapid City Public Schools: Correspondence and Actions Taken")
