LEATHER MEN IND THE UORLDS FAIR.
PROTESTING AGAINST THE ACTION OF THE TRADE
BUILDING COMMITTEE-CHARGES
OF EXTORTION.

Some OF the leather merchants OF The swamp
think there Is conspiracy on foot TO eXtort money
from them They charge the Leather and Shoe trades
Building Committee Of the Columbian Exposition with
this offence, and to- substanate their charge show
letter from II. ]. Macfarand, chairman of the En-
ecutive Committee which invits them-providng they
desire space in the buildngo subscribe for stock for
the Worlds Columbian Exposition on account OF the
Leather and Shoe Trades Building The larger hrniS
Of this city have already subscribed toward the build
ing fund.- and have secured space for their exhibits
A small deficiency exists, however, and the com
mittee asks the smaller firms desiring space to sub
scribe for sock Of thu Exposition. which Will be placed
to the credit OF the Leather Exhibit Building.
The firms their right TO space without being
compelled pay for 1t by subscribing for Worlds Fair
stock. They also assert that the large leather hrs
are trying 20 shut them out from the building some
OF the largest leather firms in The swamp deny this
They say that all who want to exhibit In the build
ing should be willing TO pay for the privilege.
Many other trades in the city complaining of the
treatment they have received from the Committee on
Exhibition of the Worlds Fair. They say that their
requests for space are not given the proper atten
ton, times completely Ignored Their prin-
cipal grievance is that the committee will not give
them enough space ito make good showing some
OF the leather merchants. when seen yesterday, said
that Chicago and Boston had formed combine TO
keep New-YOrk exhibitors out by giving to them little
space and making them pay for 1t.
Edmund c. stanton, secretary OF the Worlds Fair
Commission In this city, said TO Tribune reporter
vest rday that he thought the assertion Of the leather
men committee in charge of their exhibit was
trying TO extOrt money from them was ridiculous.
They simply make request that they help TO
finish the Leather Trades Building he said II
have received great many complaints from mcr-
chants I'm this city who say that they cannot get the
amount Of space they apply for. These men have
little idea of the vast number of people who apply Tor
