The local assemblies of the knights oi
Labor OF this jurisdiction were well repre-.
sented at the weekly meeting held on last
Thursday evening. Master Workman W.
II. G. Simmons occupied the chair and called
the meeting to order promptly at O'Clock.
In his opening address the master workman
requested full attendance at the next
meeting, when the election OF delegates
to the annual General Assembly will take
place. 1t would also be decided at the next
meeting whether or not the full quota of
representatives would be sent to represent
the District Assembly. Notices had been
sent to all Of the local assemblies inform
ing them of the election, and 1t was ex-
pected that every local would be repre-
sented by a full delegation.
The master workman gave the name OF
a prominent merchant who had called on
him to make explanations Of the conditions
by which he was surrounded, and which lin
his opinion, was the cause OF his name
appearing on the unfair list. The merchant
was anxious that the differences be set
tied, as he had no desire to anita gonize
organized labor of the District. The mat
ter was referred tothc executive committee
for adjustment.
The consideration of the case against
Contractor Winfree. charged with viola.
tioDs OF the eight-hour law, took up con-
siderable time. The Job was being watched
every day and the contractor seemed TO
be Very determined in continuing to work
his men more than eight hours per day
The committee was securing evidence for
every day that the law was teing violated.
II was further stated that the rmnor that
Mr. WiDfree was violating the law on an
other school buildng had been investigated
and found to be erroneous, as the men on
that Job worked oDIy eight hours per day
Like the Federation, the District As
sembly was very anxious to get a clear
case of violation so that the la could be
tested.

SUGAR FACTORY.
Do you Want one Erected in This
Section of State.

We take the following from the
Market Report, daily published in
Toledo. The Report says:
I'VE are compiling a list of all
towns or communities that desire a
beet sugar factory located within
their limits. This list will be con
suited by capitalists, manufacturers
OF beet sugar machinery, factory
outfitters, etc. We therefore wish
every locality that desires to obtain
beet sugar factory would write us
at once to that effect. 1t is impor
tant to know what area of land would
be available for sugar beets within
reasonable distance of the proposed
factory, say 25 miles, and to what ex-
tent beets have been grown in that
section in an experimental way. An
abundance of pure water is essential
while good and cheap lime and fuel,
together with railroad and traffic
conveniences, are also important"
| I'VE suggest that the farmers and
business men in each town and coun.
ty interested in securing a beet sugar
factory come together and organize
a sort of preliminary board of trade
to take charge of the matter. The
sooner this is done, the better. The
committee should choose a chairman
and secretary, to whom communica
tions could be addressed and from
whom further particulars could bt
obtained. Such organizations and
their officers, together with particu
lars on the points above requested
should be promptly reported tc
Orange Judd Farmer, Pontiac Build
ing, Chicago. The more speedily
action is taken, the better chance
your community will have to secure

Tbs matter should therefore bt
called to the immediate attention ol
farmers, business men, newspapers
etc, in your section and a meeting
called to act upon it without delay"
I'VE cannot guarantee the estab
lishment of a sugar factory in any
special locality. We have no direct
interest in any factory enterprise, o.
in any colony scheme or locality, bu
