There is no need of telling Augusta

CHANCE
TO HELP
FRANCE

A chance to help rebuild the
wrecked railways of France where
the retreating Germans have left
them in ruins, Is offered Tacoma
railway engineers by the opening
of a recruiting office in Tacoma,
at the Milwaukee ticket office,
10th and Pacific, for the 18th
regiment of u. S. engineers.
AS the regiment is almost at
full strength, and recruiting Of
fees are open in Seattle, Spokane
and Portland, not many men are
required from Tacoma, Major Geo.
M. Rice Of the regiment said
Monday, and the office will only
be open four or five days. All
applicants should be experienced
in railway construction or opera
ton.
Pay will range from $50 to
$500 a month, with all cloth
ing, blankets, provisions, equip
ment and medical attendance fur
nished. Ten physicians and sur
geons accompany the regiment.
The men are at Camp Murray
at present, and it is expected they
will leave for France very soon.
The work of the regiment in
France will be the reconstruction
of railway lines damaged by the
retreating Germans, the construc-
ton of new military lines in con-
nection with operations on the
west front, and probably the
building of new motor truck lines
to serve the army as needed. In
emergency work, it is expected
large numbers of non-technical
troops will be turned over for
work on the roads, and the men
of the 18th regiment will act as
foremen of the different classes
of labor. When no emergency
exists, they will be employed just
as on the construction and opera
| ton of any railroad.
The Tacoma office is in charge
of Sergt Jordan, and the recruit
ing is under the charge of Lieut..
| Wiley of the engineers.

SURE LABOR
HAS A RIGHT
TO ORGANIZE

"The right of labor to organize
Is no longer debatable," said Rev.
Delmar H. Trimble of the First
Methodist church, in his sermon
Sunday evening, because of the
achievements of labor.
Labor has been responsible
for increase in wages to both or
ganized and unorganized labor;
largely responsible for the aboli-
ton of child labor; responsible for
the shortening of hours, and in
many cases for the eight-hour
day, which is ideal; for the mini
mum wage for women; for the
protection of the worker from
dangerous machinery, diseases. in
jury and mortality resulting
therefrom; for the workmen's
compensation law.
They have created vast
brotherhood through their altruis-
tic movement, one of the biggest
movements of uplift that society
has known. The Federatio of
Christian Churches, numbering
II, 100000 members in the United
States, recognizes the right of
both the employe and the employ
er to organize. The employer
must organize for collective bar
gaining. 1t is case of either
hanging together or hanging
alone"
DR.. Trimble will preach next
Sunday evening on "The Place of
the Church in the Settlement of
the Controversy Between Labor
and Capital"

Trial of Bartien Against Pick
wick


The four Pickwickians. accom-
panied by Atty. Perker, and the
latterls clerk, Mr.. Lowten, ap-
peared in court together on the
eventful morning OF Feb. IA.
"Lowten," said Perker, put
Mr.. Pickwick's friends in the stu

had better sit by me. This way,
my dear sir, this way" Taking
MIR. Pickwick by the coat-sleeve,
the little man led him to the low
seat just beneath the desks OF
the Kings Counsel, which is con-
structed for the convenience of
attorneys.
A bow from Mr.. Sergeant
Snubbin, as he entered, and took
his seat, attracted Mr.. Pickwick' S
attention. SERGEANT Snubbin
was retained by Mr.. Perker and
Mr.. Pickwick had met him at the
latter's office.
Then there entered two or
three more. oerjeants; and among
them, one with a fat body and a
red face, who nodded in a friend
ly manner to Mr.. Sergeant Snub-
bin, and said it was a fine morn
ing.
who's that red-faced man,
who said 1t was a fine morning,

whispered Mr.. Pickwick.

Mr.. Pickwick was ON the point

to tell Mr.. Sergeant Snubbin, who
was counsel for him, that It was
