Already the major degree has been conferred by State Deputy Will- iam J. Mulligan on a large class of candidates in Moosup, and arrange- ments have been made to have the degree exemplified in New London, Norwic Thompsonville, Rockville, Hartiord. Ridgefield and Stamford be- fore January 1st. Through the efforts of State Deputy Mulligan reductions have been made in the assessments of many, who owing ta their work were oblized to pay an extra assessment. The men benefited are mostly weavers in cotton and woolen milks. For some time Mr. Mulligan has been working hard to benefit the hatmakers and it is likely that a reduction will be securéd at the next meeting of the committee on hazardous risks. C.T.A.
