Such a building will be a visible vidence at once of the prosperity of labor and of the good fecling fexisting between lebor and capital, and evidence too which will induce the further invest- ment of capital in this city by prudent and sagacious capitalists, who know that the noble order of the Knights of Labor i a bulwark against violence and a school the eduecation of ignorant labor, eh, by knowledge, becomes the friend We belie that many of the citizens of Omaha would be giad of the onporuumity to assist in the erection of a Knights of Labor hall, and we make this statement that all may contribute to give to Omaha sn institution which will be a safeguard to her best interests and a plain sign of her prosperity.
