CATHOLICS
IN GEORGIA—
(Continued from Page Eleven)
ed, the money of the Confederacy
rendered worthless, most schools
practically emptied, farms and
plantations reduced to weeds for
want of workers to cultivate
them. Those were nothing com
pared to the loss of human life,
countless persons Crippled, fami
lies shattered, careers blasted.
Progress' Despite Difficutlies
Yet despite the apparently in
sufferable obstacles, the Church
in Georgia under 'the leadership
of the indormitable Bishop Verot
could report heartening progress
at the end of his decade in office.
Augusta had a magnificent new
church, consecrated free of debt,
one of the most commodious and
most beautiful edifices- in the
South, and a neat new edifice
was started in Atlanta. Bruns
wick was given its first church.
Dalton’s ruined church had been
rebuilt. The Sisters of St. Joseph
came from St. Augustine to start
a school for colored and then to
take charge of the orphanage for
white boys. The Sisters of Mercy
from St. Augustine had a new
convent and school in Macon.
Columbus and the Sisters of
Mercy of Savannah a convent
and school in Macon. The war
had interrupted the gradual in
crease in the number of priests,
but the efforts of the zealous
Sulpician Bishop were beginning
to bear fruit in that direction also
when Pope Pius IX erected the
Vicariate of Florida into the Dio
cese of St. Augustine, and re
turned Bishop Verot to his former
position as its first Bishop. There
he labored with continued success
until his death June 10, 1876.

‘Gimick’ Peddlers
involved Sn U, S.
Wage-Hour Action
MIAMI, Fla.—Secretary of La
bor James P. Mitchell, through
Solicitor of Labor Stuart Roth
man, has asked the U. S. Court
here for an order restraining two
dealers of religious plastic objects
from future violations of the Fed
eral Fair Labor Standards Act.
The employers named in the
actions are Benjamin and Henry
Kram, operating Ex-GI Plastic,
922 N. E. Second Avenue, and
Max Kram, who operates under
the name of Clearview Plastics,
Catholic Products of America,
and Religious Products of Ameri
ca, 201 N. W. 45th Street. Both
establishments are in Miami.
The complaints i allege that both
operators have failed to pay sev
eral employees of each firm as
much as 75 cents per hour which
is the minimum required by the
Wage and Hour law. Employees
of both firms were producing re
ligious materials, substantial
quantities of which were sold and
shipped to points outside of Flori
da.
Several employees of Ex-GI
Plastic were alleged to have been
paid at straight 'time rates for
more than 40 hours in the week.
The Wage and Hour law provides
that covered employees should be
paid time and one-half their regu
lar rate for hours over 40.
The complaints also alledge that
both firms have failed to make,
keep, and preserve adequate rec
ords, and that they have violated
the shipping provisions of the law
by sending out of the State goods
which were produced by under
paid employees.
Thomas Jefferson was Presi
dent at that time, and two start
led beholders exclaimed, “That
is Jefferson!” Over the years,
viewers have seen various like
nesses. Hawthorne saw a story.
