The organization of the Manufacturers
association in the city of Los Angeles
would seem to be opportune. in view of
the large quantities of cheap fuel now be-
ing produced in our OIL fields. In Janu-
ary last the manufacturers of the United
States met in convention in Cincinnati,
o.. and organized the National Associa-
tion of Manufacturers, and provided that
the first annual convention should be
held in the city OF Chicago, about the
middle of next October. California is en-
titled to nine delegates, and stands
twelfth in the list of states under the last
federal census having the greatest manu-
factured output. 1t is desired that able
ana thoroughly representative men of the
varied manufacturing interests OF the
state be selected to 60 to Chicago. The
work in California is IN the hands of Mr..
II. l.. Story, vice-president, and Maj
George n. Moan, assistant vice-president.
1t is understood that as soon as an asso-
citation is formed in Los Angeles like
one will be organized in San Diego, and
then San Francisco, at present the great
manufacturing center of California, will |
be visited and thoroughly organized.
