Unwed Mothers Note
Reveals Castoff Baby
Is Son Of Dead Soldier

Nobody knows how long the g.
week-old waif lay hidden on a pew
in st. Mary's Catholic Church yes
terday before his hungry cries at
tracted churchgoers and his tiny
hands rustled the note his despair
ing mother had pinned to his dress.
The note told the poignant story
OF an unWed mother who wanted
a son" by the soldier she could not
marry because of religious differ
ences. The soldier is buried some
where across the sea.
The note, neatly printed on white
stationery, was addressed ITO whom
1t may concern:
Dear People,
Il hope that someday l will be
forgiven for this act l am doing now.
But I will try to explain it to you so
you will know why am doing this.
Raised in Southern State.
Il was born and raised in a State
south of here and was brought up
as Catholic. About two years ago
l met and fell in love with a fellow
who was then in the service. He
was of another religion and my par
ents would not consent to a mar
riage.
He was getting ready to ship
out and I wanted something that
would hold us together. l wanted
a child, son of his, for fear he
would not return. AS things came
TO pass, he did not come back and
here is his son.
MY family will not help me be-
cause I am not married, and l have
nothing to raise a child on. So
I am asking your help. Please see
that this boy is put in a home and
taken care of as he should be. And
I hope he never learns how he
started out in life.
He is just a few weeks old so
please take care of him since I
can't. I am returning South but
not to my family Remember. he
was wanted, and not just something
tildG lldppCllCu DSIduSC CouJlc VI
kids didn't know better
May Return Some Day.
Some day, if I feel ! can take
the consequences, 1 will return here
and return to you in person.
Il hope you will say a prayer for
my son. 1 know I shall pray for
him every day as long as I live.
Thank you kindly and God bless
you always for you're all being so
good"
The note was signed "A Sad and
Despondent Mother"
'P. S. He eats every four hours
10, 2, 6, etc"
If police fail to locate the mother
little John Doe will be taken from
Gallinger Hospital and turned over
to the Welfare Department for
placement in a home
Unless the mother returns at the
end of year, John Doe will be put
uD for adoption,

Civil Service Union
Conventions 10 Vote
On Proposed Merger
BY Joseph Young

The United Federal Workers of
America (CIO), one of the three
major Government employees unions,
will submit to its membership a
proposal to merge the union with
the CIO-afhliated State. County,
Municipal Workers of America,
when UFWA holds its biennial con-
vention in Atlantic City April 1926.
Executive boards of the two unions
have already approved the proposed
merger, and the issue will be placed
directly before the delegates of both
organizations. SCMWA delegates
will meet in Atlantic City at the
same time, but in separate session,
also to vote on the proposition.
Should the merger be authorized,
the new union would be formed i'm
mediately, and the rest Of the con-
vention would be under the auspices
of the new organization.
Would Take New Name.
The union would have a new
name, and the officers would prob
ably come from among the present
officials. The present heads of the
two unions are Eleanor Nelson,
UFWA, and Abram Flaxer, SCMWA.
UFWA officials express the belief
that the merging of their organiza-
ton, with its reported 10000 men,
bers, and SCMWA, which has ap-
proximately 10000 members, would
result in "a powerful, consolidated
union to fight a single battle for
the interests of all civil service en-
ployes, whether Federal, State or
city" At present the two unions
have working agreement with each
other. but no official link.
UFWA believes that a merger
would result in two great gains: %
A much larger and more effective
organizing staff to organize non
union employees, and t2), greater
political strength.
Aid in Organizing.
BY combining the two organizing
stats into one unit, union officials
believe that a much more effective
organizing job can be done. The
second gain from the merger, a
greater political effectiveness, stems
from the strength of SCMWA mem
hers throughout the States, where
each has a vote and consequently
often can influence recalcitrant
members of Congress to vote for
legislation they favor.
This is a sharp contrast from the
plight of the many UFWA workers
who live in voteleSs Washington.
Without the power of the vote, these
employees have little political effec-
tiveness. At present UF'WA relies
only on its members outside Wash
ington to use their political persua-
sion on Congress.
Common Interests Cited.
UFWA officials said they have no
fear that their union will be "swal-
lowed up" by the proposed merger
I'VE have common interest and
by working together can be far more
effective as one organization than
as two" an UF'WA official said He
pointed out that the problems and
legislative goals of both unions are
virtually identical.
A total of $50 delegates from all
over the United States are expected
to attend the Atlantic City conven-
ton. approximately $50 of these
are UFWA members, the rest
SCMWA delegates.
