Government Sanction.
The act of Congress which incorpor
ated the Red Cross and which issued
its charter, defines its purpose as fol
lows:
ITO furnish voluntary aid to the
sick and wounded of armies in time OF
war;" and, "To carry ont system
of national and international relief in
time of peace, and apply the same in
mitigating the sufferings cauesd by
pestilence, famine, fire, floods, and
other great national calamities, and
to devise and carry on measures for
preventing the same" (Charter, Sec

American Red Cross.
The first Red Cross organization in
the United States was formed in 1869.
1t was incorporated in 1881 and re-
incorporated in 1898 and 1900.
In 1904 the American National Red
Cross was entirely reorganized and
on January 5, 1906, Congress passed an
act Incorporating the present Ameri-
can National Red Cross, and prescrib-
ing its purposes, its mission and the
details of organization.
Under the act provisions are made
for large membership, for close afffli-
alton with the United States Govern
ment for the auditing of all accounts
by the War Department, and for an
annual public report to Congress. All
proceedings of the American National
Red Cross are made public in the
newspapers of the country and in more
detailed form by means of its illus
trated and carefully prepared quar-
terly pamphlet known as the American
National Red Cross Bulletin.
Every member of the American Ma
tional Red Cross is entitled to a free
annual subscription to the Red Cross
Bulletin
The American National Red Cross
headquarters are at 341, War Depart
ment (Army and Navy Building)
Washington, D. c.
Since its governmental superintend
ence in 1905, the American National
Red Cross has expended nearly foul
millions of dollars in relief, yet not g
dollar of this vast sum was applied
for purposes connected with war Of
military operations.
Among those who received substan
tial and necessary benefits were sui
ferers from famines in Japan, Russi
and China; from typhoon in tn
Philippines; from storms on the GU
of Mexico; from the eruption of W
suvius and from earthquakes in Sa
Francisco, Valparaiso and Kingston
San Franciseo's Salvation.
The most noteworthy example
Red Cross work is found in the relic
afforded to devastated San Francisc
where no less than $3,117,O0O were e,
pended within one year after the di
aster, while effective relief operation
are still in progress and likely to col
; tinue for some time.

The American branch of the Inter-
national Red Cross is second in i'm
portance to none of the AZ national
members which include practically ev-
cry civilized flag i'm the world.
1t is none the less the fact that so
far as membership and available funds
are concerned, the American branch
is behind all the powers of equal rank,
and altogether too far in the rear of
the lesser nations of the earth.
The following table shows with
startling distinctness the figures as to

THE CARPENTERS.
Have Arranged for Educational Talks
at Their Regular Meetings.

Lincoln local, No. 1866, United
brotherhood of Carpenters and Join
ers, is working along progressive
lines these days. At the meeting last
Tuesday night it was unanimously de-
cided to select a committee to ar
range for a series Of educational ad-.
dresses at the meetings. and c. H.
Chase was selected to attend to the
matter. Rev. Mr.. Pritchard, pastor
of the Christian church at Bethany,
appeared before the union by special
invitation and delivered a thoughtful
and earnest address on labor and re-
ligious lines that was listened to with
great interest. The Wageworker
hopes to be able to print synopsis
of this address in the next issue.
This move on the part of the car
penters could be followed with profit
by other unions. The carpenters have
already had several of these addresses,
and they were so enjoyable and profit
abel that it was decided to make them
a permanent feature of the regular
meetings.

!. LABELLED GOODS"
(By the Rev. Charles stelzle.

(By the Rev. Charles Stelzle.)
Most of us wear a label. 1t may
not be a union label, but it more
accurately indicates the conditions
under which we were developed than
is sometimes possible by other kinds
OF labels. The United States govern
n,ent has recently declared that every
form of prepared food ana patent drug
must be so plainly marked that any
ore may know it's principal constituent
parts. But more infinitely still is
every man and woman labeled and
classified. At any rate, there are
some folks who know about us, try
t deceive the world as we may. It
H.; still true that you can fool some
of the people all of the time, and AL
OF the people some of the time, but
you cannot fool all of the people ali
OF the time.
Many a workingman who is ex-
lt.emely careful about having the
union label in his hat, forgets it is
fal more important to have the right
kind of label in his heart, For as
a man thinketh in his heart, SO IS he.
That's scripture, and I've no doubt
It's true. And what man is. is
pretty sure to be revealed in his talk,
mis- walk, his hand, his face, his eye.
his life. All this in man will make
a pretty good sized label, and you
clothes, or lift the band of his hat, to
tell what manner Of man he is.

OF age, and leaves a wife.
Here's what a little timely hustling
will do: The Joplin, Mo-, Electrical
Construction and Supply Co. is un-
fair. 1t secured the contract for re-
wiring Neuman & Co.'S big store in
that city. The union as soon as it
heard of it sent committee to Neu-
man & Co. and laid the facts before
the firm members Mr.. Neuman, the
manager, Immediately cancelled the
contract and awarded it to the F. A.
TONNES Co.. strictly fair concern.

The splendid work of organization
