An important conference between
President Gage, Vice President Bryan
and Director Nelson and the conference
committee representing the organized
labor of Chicago was held at world S
fair headquarters Thursday night.
The object Of this meeting was
to arrive ut better understand
ing of the memorial presented to the
board of directors two weeks ago re-
garding the claims of organized labor
on worlds fair work All TIE points of
the labor statement were carefully re-
viewed. with the result that the labor
men were practically assured that the
two most important claims, Eight
hours TO constitute days work" and
arbitration. would be allowed. In
regard to the minimum rate of labor,
which the labor men wanted fixed at
81. so a day and preference Of home
labor to be given, President Gage did
not feel justified IN making any prom
ises. The directors think il i'm
practicable TO commit themselves on
these points The rate of LABOR must
be settled bv the contractors who
hire and pay the men. and TO decide
whether workman is citizen of Chi
cago or not is a matter Of great difficult
ty. in fact almost an irnpossibility.
