A PLAN FOR LABOR CONGRESSES

CHICAGO, June 1.-THE Worlds Fair
Directory this evening took action on two
of the most talked-of nominations made by
Director General Davis The vote on the
confirmation of NJ E. Stone, of Chicago, as
Chief of the Department of Foreign Affairs,
resulted in tie-15 to 15. Further con-
sideration of Mr.. Stones name was post
poned till the next meeting, but Mr.. Stone,
hearing that fight had been made, promptly
withdrew his name
The committee appointed to investigate
the accusations against Walter Maxwell,
who had been nominated for Chief OF the
Bureau Of Horticulture, reported that there
was no proof to sustain the charges against
his character. When the nomination was
put to vote, however, Maxwell was de-
feated 25 to 8. Director General Davis
thereupon substituted the name of General
n. P. Chapman, of California, and General
Chapman was at once confirmed by the di-
rectors.
Chapman May Be Rejected, Too.
The Board of Control must now pass upon
General Chapman. There is some talk that
the feeling over the defeat of Maxwell by
the directory may lead to the rejection
of Chapman by the Board.
The President of the Worlds Congress
Auxiliary is rapidly pushing to the front
the scheme of the proposed Worlds Con-
crosses to be held in Chicago during the
Exposition of 1893, and the several general
and special committees are actively engaged
in preparing preliminary addresses stating
the scope of the work in their respective de-
partments. The first address was issued to-
day by the General Committee on Labor Con-
crosses. 1t says:
Ample accommodation will be provided
for all labor organizations, economic associ-
atoms and industrial societies which may
desire to hold congresses or conventions of
their own, and under the direction OF their
own properly constituted authorities. To
these special congresses every opportunity
will be extended which is at the command
of the Auxiliary and not inconsistent with
its own general plans.
The Scope of the Labor Congress.
The General Labor Congress will be ar
ranged with the cooperation of the most
distinguished students of labor problems
and leaders in the industrial world. Among
other topics it will be appropriate for this
congress to consider:
The steps in industrial advance from
slavery through serfdom to the wage system,
and careful and authoritative exposition
OF tne pr9nt snarlng, Holuntary e0-operatlon,
industries and all other proposed peaceable
and constitutional methods of escape from
