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.

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.
