Deputy Commissioner of Labor
Maupin announces that some time
during the early summer he will call
a meeting at Lincoln for the purpose
of organizing, il possible, a State Fed
GRAFTON of Labor. His idea is to have
each local organization in the state
send one delegate, and that this dele
gate convention draft the plans for
the future government and organiza-
tion of the Federation. He is as
sured of the assistance of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor, and feels
that he should have the hearty CO.

The state of Kansas appropriates
$500 annually to defray the expenses
of a State Federation of Labor meet
ing, but Nebraska declines. However,
Nebraska appropriates $1,000 for a
chicken show and $4,000 for farmers
institutes.
| Three or four directors of the Labor
together Monday evening and they
decided that it was up to the direc-
tors to get busy and either proceed
with the work entrusted to them or
take legal steps looking to the dissolu-
ton of the association. With this in
view they decided to meet next Mon
day evening at the Office of the Dep
Iuty Commissioner of Labor, at 8
O'Clock sharp. The commissioners
Office is the firs- door on the right as
one enters the east entrance of the
state house. Every director should
make it point to be present, no mat
ter what previous engagement may
have been made. A great deal is at
stake.

is not yet quite ready to resume his
place in the cab.
The first annual ball of the local
Barber's Union was such success
that it will doubtless be followed by
similar functions every year. The at
tendance was quite large, and those
who were present enjoyed themselves
hugely. The BARRIERS have reason to
be, proud of their first effort in the
ANNUAL ball line.
The managers of the 'Made-in-Lin-
coin" exposition decided against the
Lee Broom and Duster Co., making
an exhibit.
OF course the decision was not
based on the fact that the Lee
Brooms are prison-made.

The decision was made on the SIM
pie fact that the Lee brooms are not
made in Lincoln. They are made in

If that isn't pointer enough for the
