BUILDING A GRANGE HALL.
How a New York State Grange FL

nanced Its Grange Home.
writer in the American Agricul-
turist describes how grange No. 81.
located near Rochester. proceeded to
erect a new grange hall. and the ex-
perience may help others with like
purpose. He says:
I'VE had 5000 in the treasury. Some
members advised waiting until sufIi-
cient funds were in hand to pay the
cost The majority said. Go ahead
now Our first move was to incorpo-
rate the grange under the membership
act. We then purchased our site for
$500.
I'VE hired mason to lay the wall
for the basement. Members volun-
teered to do the excavating. draw
stone. sand. etc. When the wall was
completed our 5000 was gone.
I'VE let the woodwork. painting. ETC..
on contract for S2.1I5. We issued ten
year bonds for $1,000. The grange re-
served the right TO pay them off at any
time. The bonds were subscribed for
by members. but we still lacked S115.
TO meet this several members paid
dues in advance When the hall was
completed we had no funds for equip
ment. Here our loyal membership
showed it's enterprise and grit. To get
furnace we started a subscription
and soon secured good one.
"A new range was then needed. The
lady members got up soap order club
and secured a splendid range as pre-
MUM. Other things. such as dishes.
tables. ETC., and some inside furnish
ings. as shelves. closets. etc. not in
cluded In the carpenters contract were
wanted. Here our young members
showed their hands. They organized
and gave very creditable theatrical
play. and from it they secured over
$780, Later sociables and special sup
pers were held once month. We
charged Is cents for supper. In this
way we have managed to equip. fur
nish and pay for everything except
the bonds.
I'VE expect to pay 500 on the bonds
this year. We have not raised our
dues. Our membership at present is
over 800. Our dues will eventually
meet and pay off all the bonds. Our
entire cash outlay for building. lot,
furnishing. etc.. was S3.277. The labor
donated was estimated at 5000. The
size of the building is 30 by 60 feet"

continent to San Francisco, and for

AFFlLlATlon ASSURED.

Afiliation of the Western Federation
of Miners with the American Federation
of Labor is practically assured, says
President Charles Meyer, who has just
returned from a conference with Samuel
Gompers and other leaders of the Amer
lean Federation at indianapolis.
The chief point to be settled was
whether the Western Federation was to
have jurisdiction over carpenters, engi-
neers and other men, not miners, who
were employed around the mines. 1t was
decided that the Western Federation
should have Jurisdiction over every craft
except the machinsts. A proposal will
be submitted to the executive committee
of the machinists and Of the Western
Federation that where machinists are
numerous enough to form separate To-
cal they shall be under the Jurisdiction
of the machinists. Where this is not the
case, they shall join the local OF the
miners. This agreement, II acceptable
to the miners and machinists. will be
passed upon by the American Fedora
ton of Labor September 12. and will re-
move the only obstacle to the proposed
affiliation.

euNMAN KILLS srRlkEsREAkER

William Seader, guard at the Standard
mine, Lafayette, Colo, shot and killed
Conrado Cadero, "a Mexican strike
breaker, Monday. The killing was the
result of Sunday drinking bout.
Two Mexicans were fighting, and Ca
dero attempted to stop the fight. Seader
ordered him away, and when Cadero re-
fused to leave, Seader, it is said, fired,
killing the Mexican almost instantly.
Seader held the Mexicans at bay with
his rifle, and escaped from the cabin
where the shooting took place.
Accompanied by Lon Paully, Seader
went to his home, and took leave of his
wife, whom he married only few
months ago. He then surrendered his
rifle to Paully and disappeared.
Paully and a Mexican who refused to
give his name, are under arrest as ac-
cessories. Seader has not been found,
although posse under Sheriff Capp has
been searching for him for the past "a
hours. 1t is thought that the fugitive
may be hiding in an abandoned mine.

MILwAukEElzE LOS ANGELES.

We'll Milwaukeeize Los Angeles!" is
the cry that is passing from mouth to
mouth in the capital city of southern
California The shibboleth has been
coined because of the uncompromising
war that is being waged against organ
lied labor by the Merchants and Manu-
facturers' association, the city admins
tration and the Los Angeles Times.
The metal workers and brewery work
ers are locked out, and to shackle and
gag them completely the city council has
just passed an ordinance prohibiting
picketing, displaying signs or transpar-
encies, street speaking, ETC., and punish
ing all violations by fines up to 800 or
IMPRISONMENT not exceeding so days, or
both.
To get hold of the political power now
welded against them by their opponents
the unionists of Los Angeles voted to
start labor party, but when they came
to look up the law they found them
selves pretty effectually blocked in that
direction So they are joining the So
cialist party by the hundreds, and swear
they will sweep the city At the last
election the Socialist candidate for
dred votes.
After voting to start a labor party the
unions in the state of Washington have
abandoned the plan. The leaders in the
movement frankly declare that the MEM
bership was too Indifferent to warrant
them in proceeding with organization. 1t
is now likely that the advocates of politi-
cal action will join hands with the So
cialists.
