Sixteen men will entrain tomorrow from Sheridan to Fort Logan, Colorado. The quota calls for 20 men, but four have already been transferred to other places.

Edward P. Taylor, federal director of labor for the state of Wyoming, is in Sheridan from Cheyenne and has completed plans for the opening of a United States free labor employment agency. Plans are to open the offices here on Saturday morning in the Kutcher building back of the Electric Light company’s offices, facing West Works street.

There are 25 union labor organizations in Sheridan county, counting only one of the railroad locals. Nearly every craft and trade, both skilled and unskilled in this county, is organized.
