CHICAGO MEETING TROUBLE.
Labor Disputes May Prevent the Proposed
Fall Festival.

CHICAGO. Sept. 1S.-Preparations for the fall
festival part OF the coming October celebra-
ton in Chicago will probably be discon-
tinued unless the labor people come out
with definite statement OF what they
propose to do. A conference between Chairman
Truax and others was held last night and one
between the Chairman and Nom bors OF the
Fall Festival Finance Committee to-day de-
veloped the sentiment that the labor men
should end the suspense by saying whether
there would be a strike or not Should they
fail to do this 1t is the committees belief that
all plans will be abandoned.
The managers OF the festival plans said that
the situation had resolved itself into an effort
by opposing interests to iniure each other I:
that politics had developed in the mat
ter. and that thore seemed to be
determined effort to involve President
Mckinley. The promoters OF the festival con-
sidered that the labor fight could make the
affair failure in the end. and II failure II was
to be 1t had better fail before much money had
been spent.
Mayor Harrison may act as mediator, Lead
ing citizens have urged upon him that he is the
only person in the city who can put an end to
the dispute. and it is known that he favorably
entertnins the idea OF taking soms such stepa.
Altogether the prospects for Chicago's fall
festival have assumed dismal hue.
