Uncle Sam is a pretty good employer"

marks cit is true that he won't recog-
nize organized labor, but we come pretty
near getting what we believe our rights
to be without recognition.
The eight-hour law. OF course, is in ef-
feat throughout the zone. Monthly men
are supposed TO put in little more more,
but they don't. Our unions are not oppos-
ed In any way by the government. we
have our regular lodge meetings and
carry on our business in the same way we
would II working for a private corpora
ton.
THE Brotherhood of Railway Carmen is
by no means the only union represented
In the zone. The strongest union is prob
ably that of the machinists, who have
more than 200 men and maintain 1--WE
lodges. The engineers, the boilermakers.
the telegraphers and many others have
strong lOQges.
How long do you intend to stay in
Panama?' the delegate was asked.
Until the canal is finished, suppose"

bad place. after all. OF course, we are
rather out Of touch with the world in

get newspapers down there, and we miss
a lot OF the advantages OF this country.

Work Day this year for the orphans
of the state of Georgia promises to be
splendid success and a large sum of
money is promised for the several or
phanages of the state
The plan OF setting aside one day of
the week for the orphans of the state
was inaugurated some years ago and has
steadily grown in favor with the charita-
bly, inclined people of Georgia who have
been touched by the SAD lot the helpless
little ones who have been left without
the protection of loving fathers and
mothers. - f.
September % is the day set aside for
work day. On this day the wage-earn-.
ers of the state are asked to give the
proceeds of their work to the orphans
who have no one to work for them:
There are now approximately 5000 or
phans in the state of Georgia who are
cared for by various institutions. Besides
this number there are many who are
not being cared for at all and are pick
ing up a precarious living as best they
can. Last year $4,000 was raised for the
orphans and this year il is hoped to raise
much more. t*t -e'
The movement is anon-sectarian and in
cludes Jewish and Gentle homes as well.
$ NEEDS OF THE HOME.
All of the homes in the state are sadly
in need of funds and a special effort is
being made this year to raise at least
$4,000. Here are some or tne needs of
the various institutions of the state:
Decatur Methodists need $4,000.
Vineville, Macon, need $4,000.
Hapeville Baptist need $4,000.
Clinton. S. c., Presbyterians need 5000
Other smaller institutions of the state
have needs in proportion.
The average kind-hearted put thought
less person is apt to pass over lightly
the pleas OF organized socierIes or insti-
tutions for aid. But no one who seriously
considers the plight of an orphan can
help but be touched with pity; not only
that, he will recognize that In giving he

self and to society. OF all of Gods
helpless creatures the plight of the or
phan is the most touching. Left in the
world at an early age to fight life's bait
ties alone; bereft Of the love and kindly
care OF parents or loved ones they are
only too apt to grow up in ignorance o.
what is worse-actual surroundings of
crime later to become charges or the
state either in her penitentiaries or re-
formatories. Every orphan neglected is
a potential element which WORKS eventual
harm to the general community. Every
orphan cared for and raised in good sur
roundings is correspondingly a source of
benefit to the community in the great ma |
pority Of cases.
In the orphans homes of Georgia there |
is but one controlling idea, whether the |
home be for Baptist, Methodist, Presby- |
terrain or Jew. This idea is to provide |
surroundings as nearly like home as pos |

education and to fit them for the real bat
