INDUSTRIAL LEADER
INDUSTRIAL LEADER. The Industrial Leader, a weekly newspaper, was established Sept. 20, 188G, by a stock company and was published every Saturday by the Knights of Labor Co-operative Publishing Co., John STAFFORD, president, and E. P. Lange, secretary, with Frank J. Sheridan as managing editor.
The Industrial Leader was the news organ of the Knights of Labor in Iowa. T. V. Powderly, the General Master Workman of the order, in the official journal, recommended the Industrial Leader as a paper that should be supported and read by Knights of Labor.
