SETTLEMENT PROBABLE.
Efforts to Adjust Chicago Hotel and
Restaurant Strike.

Chicago. June 1S.-The settlement
OF the hotel and restaurant strike ap-
pears to hinge upon technicalities The
exact construction to be put upon the
term union recognition is the stum-
bling block to speedy adjustment of
the difficulties between the parties to
the controversy. The joint board of
the strikers unions is inclined to
hold out tol /. ! agreement to employ
union men and women only, while the
hotel and restaurant owners declare
they can do NO more than promise not
TO discriminate The joint board in
conference were unable to agree upon
the acceptance of the employers
terms and decided to submit the mat
ter to President Gompers.
President Gompers is said to have
declared that the strike must not go
on in the face OF the fair offers made
by the hotel and restaurant owners.
He is not in favor of continuing the
fight for the exclusive employment
of unionists, holding that the union
idea is strong enough 10 maintain and
promote the growth of the unions even
though some employers attempt to
break the mo discrimination clause
which the employers association is
willing to incorporate into an agree
ment.
After much discussion and a num-
her of conferences the joint board
voted to surrender their former posi-
tons and to recognize the Restaurant
Keepers association and to ask for ar
bitration. 1t is generally believed
that their action will be acceptable to
the employers and that the end of the
strike so far as the restaurants are
concerned is in sight

A FINE EXHIBIT in PROSPECT
Lieutenant Governor Bartlett as Manager
OF the Display OF the State at St.
Louis Predicts Unique Exhibit.

A few persons favor a state building
but it should be remembered that
state building cannot be used for ex-
hibits. 1t is merely a headquarters
for visitors, and is a mile or more
from the exhibits 1t could not be
erected for less than $4,000 and at
the close of the fair would be total
loss. We believe and | believe the
people of the state when they under
stand the matter, will agree that a
state building would be an expense not
justified by any benefits to be OBJ
tained. In our booth in the agricul-
tural building we shall have a recep-
ton room, lavatory and other com
forts for visitors from the state, which
will answer largely the same purpose
Magnitude Of the Fair.
The ST Louis Exposition will be
perhaps the greatest the world has
seen. In magnitude it eXcels the
Worlds Fair at Chicago, although the
character of the exhibits cannot be
told until they are installed. The peo-
pie from the north will probably do
their visiting during the months of
May, the early port OF June, September
and October. Few people from the
north will venture there during the
hot weather of July and August be-
lieve Farmer Wallace's idea of
steamboat excursion from ST Paul
down the Mississippi river would be a
good advertisement for the state 1t
could be timed to arrive there about
Dakota day, if such day is named,
and would be a comfortable means of
making the trip as we'll as novel
advertisement of the state"
