ARMY OF
WILL BE EMPLOYED

Discussion is ripe as to the positions the
Worlds Fair Will create. what the pros
poets are for getting these positions and
who will do the hiring and discharging.
Nearly every one in st. Louis and the sur
rounding country is eager to reap benefit
from the Exposition. and there are endless
numbers who desire TO be employed in some
capacity by the Worlds Fair corporation.
Secretary Cox has on file several hundred
applications for positions. ranging lIom
ticket sellers TO inspector OF Exposition
guards. Some of the requests are lengthy,
and nearly all of them contain an explana-
tion of the reasons which peculiarly adapt
the applicant for the place he seeks. Mr..
Cox says that there is no danger whatever
OF the company being unable to secure rsen
to fill every post.
All the applications are carefully pre-
served, and when the proper time comes.
about eighteen months from the present
date. they will be considered and their
merits passed upon. Now. however. no one
is being hired nor promises of employment
given. 1t is impossible to even estimate
now what positions there will be or their
number. Until the complete organization is
effected and things placed on 4 working
basis. no detail whatever can be UNDER
taken.
Prominent Worlds Fair workers have al
ready been beset by officeseekers desiring
their influence to secure come lucrative post,
and several report that they have even been
asked for passes to the grounds. 1t is gen.

HOST OF v
FEATURES PROPOSED.

A novel idea for the Worlds Fair has
been suggested by C. L. Staub, the
architect. of No. 1232 franklin avenue, who
proposes locating the site at the western
extremity Of Eads bridge. On this point
Mr.. Staub writes IS follows:
1T should be borne in mind that the
propagation of commerce and industry is
the chief incentive for an international ex-
hibition and that the extension of our CHIEF
business district in the future could best
be secured by building the Worlds Fair
on a permanent platform on a level with
the top of Eads bridge.
The platform should start above the
water edge OF the Levee on a line with the
first great bridge pier, covering the whole
width of the Levee, Commercial street. in
cluded, in two solid extensions going north
and south, n with as many wings built
west from this main river-front platform
up to Third street, Fourth street and even
to Broadway as the case may require.
All available property should be COW
cred by these platforms so that from 400 to
80 acres may be secured for the Fair. Chi
Cages occupied about 517 acres, but more
than ~ene-Quarter Of this was water space
or lagoon. ! believe that 400 acres will be
enough. for all the principal buildings and.

HOW THE DIRECTORS
WILL ORGANIZE.
The Board of Directors probably will con-
sist OF 100 members. who Will be elected by
the stockholders. 1t is generally understood
that the directors will be chosen from the
various working. committees of the tenn.
porary organization. and the Committee OF
Two Hundred. 1t Is not anticipated that
there will be much of n contest in the cleo
ton of the board which will serve the first
year. a slate will be determined upon by
conference, which will be supported by the
large stockholders
Immediately upon its election tine board
will elect. from its own number. the execu-
tive officers. These are Il president. secre-
tary, treasurer and director general: The
remainder of the board will be subdiviaed
menced at once. The selection of a site
will be made by the Board of Directors in
conjunction with the nine Worlds Fair
Commissioners to be appointed by Pres'nent
Mckinley.
Each committee will have some special

readiness or the day the gates are thrown
open to the public.
After the selection of n site the next
most important duty of the board will he
that of receiving plans. bids and estimates
for buildings. The number and KIND OF
buildings will be considered. Location for
State buildings and those of foreign coun-
tries will be assigned. and as the WORK
progresses space for exhibitors IN the var1-
Gus buildings will be allotted. 1t has been
to occupy all the directors. with plenty iett
over for assistants.
After plans have been determined uron.
all work. such as huiI6ing. grazing. eX-
.cavating. etc. will be done by CONTRACT.
These contracts will be Gpen to the cntire

INFLUX OF WORKING
PEOPLE EXPECTED.
Local manufacturers, contractors ana
builders. estimate that the influx OF LABOR
ing people of various kinds into st. LOUIS
Worlds Fair will reach as hiG, rs 5000.
The deman for labor of all kinds. they
say. will be great enough to furnish work
for all of these. besides such workmcn as
are In st. Louis at the present time.
The estimates have been made on figures

st. Louis concerns, and in the present in
stance the local manufacturers expect to
capture the lions share of this variety of
contracts.
Various estimates have been made by To-
cal business men and financierS as TO what
the pay rolls will amount to in st. Louis
for the next two years. After much fiSur-
ing and thought the task has generally been
given up as hopeless. All the business men
who have been interviewed on the subject
say that In their individual case there would
be a marked increase. though none could
tell exactly what per cent the increase
would be-,
An officer of the Manufacturers Associa-
ton estimated, after considerable study of
the subject, that the increase of pay rolls
in St. Louis for the next two years will
exceed. in gross amount, those of the two
previous years by more than 60 per cent.
He says that in his opinion business will
not only increase In volume. but conditions
will be such that profit will be greater, and
as a consequence q higher price will be paid
for labor of all kinds
1t is generally agreed by business men that
the money, to be spent here as a result of
the Worlds Fair will be well distributed
and that all classes of citizens will come in
for a share. Merchants, manufacturers,
street railways and tradesmen in general
Will be benefited b. the enormous importing
OF people which the Exposition will cause.
All laboring classes will reap the benefit of
money expended in Improvement and work

that an Injurious reaction will result after

cial solidity of the city will render a reac-
ton impossible.

IMPERATIVE NEED FOR
PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS.

In order to maintain the prestige of the
city abroad by augmenting its appearance in
every possible manner for the cdification of
visitors to the Louisiana Purchase Centen-
NAL Exposition. the duty necessarily de-
wolves upon municipal officials to arrange
for the PRONUNCIATION of numerous public
improvements of every kind. The concensus
Of opinion is that the most important adj
vance and the chief step toward progress,
will be achieved by the amendment of GER
tain sections of the State Constitution and
the City Charter. as indicated by the Nom
partisan Commission for the Public Welfare.
Ffnanciers and philosophical men declare
that the amount of public work to be com
pleted within the next several years yftai;y
depends upon these. proposed amendments.
one class OF amendments aims to provide
funds for public improvements: the other
has for its purpose the. amelioratton of
prevalent taxation regulations, for the beno-
tit of property-owIers.
City Counselor Schnurmacher and First
Assistant. Comptroller Gabel refer to the
proposed constitutional and charter amend
ments as urgen legislative measures. not
only for the purpose of preparing the city
itself for the entertainment of guests from
all parts OF the world. but as well TO es-
tablish means of revenue to meet the or

The outlook for ii lively contest this
evening at the republican primaries is
bright. Several candidates for several
offices are i'll the field for the capture of
the three town districts, which ought to
have rs votes in the county convention
on Monday. As to House Of Delegates,
tax collector, etc, nothing seems certain.
Indeed, only one outcome appears sure
that all three districts will select dele
cations committed to Ulysses Hanna for
sheriff. 1t is almost equally certain
that he will carry No. 10.
