STORM YET TO BREAK
Al the Kansas City Convention. but 1t Has
Been Postponed for q Day
at Least.

Kansas City, Mo-, Sept. 20. - The
session of the structural iron conven
ton was taken up entirely with routine
affairs. The Parks crowd helped clear
up the small business Of the gather
ing. and no signs Of the promised fight
between the two factions were visi-
bic. President Buchanan made an ap-
peal for harmony, and his talk had the
effect, at least temporarily, Of Quieting
the trouble. Its the lull before the
Storm" said one delegate, after the
convention had adjourned for the day.
An important petition presented by
nalf a cozen western locals recon-
mended that the convention take some
ac,ion to force certain western rail-
roads to pay standard wages, or to let
their bridge work to contractors who
are fair" to organized labor.

Nothing "Goee" at the Chicago Festival
Like the Indians.
The parade, as stated in the fore

In the afternoon the street car lines un-
loaded tens of thousands at Lincoln

the Indian camp. The visitors were
admitted into the enclosure three times
during the day. Every feathered brave
was surrounded by school boys who
whooped 1t ND in way that gave the
forest visitors a lesson in yelling. The
women and girls in the pushing crowd
were attracted 10 the quaws ard pa
pooses, and the little ones submitted
to chuckings In the chin with true
Indian stolidity. They likewise reaped
a harvest OF pennies and nickels.
TIC lodge where bead work and lit
tie can oes are sold had so many clamor-
ing customers that the stock In trade
was nearly exhausted before the morn
ing wis over. There was nothing
sacred from the curiosity of the Wis
itors- No detail OF Indian toilet maxi
ing is now a secret from scores Of
whites The closing of tepee fats was
no bar to the inquisitive- They raised
the corners Of the canvas and poked
peep holes in the rush sides of wig
vans. They saw braves decking them
selves with war paint and feathers,
and watched the squaws getting the
tiny papooses into buckskin swaddling
clothes.
Finally the red men and women had
enough Of the thing, and the police
drove everybody out and cleared the
field for the dancers. The green corn
dances, the scalp dances and the buff
falo dances Of Monday were repeated.

Washington. Sept 30.-An important
conference took place at the White

and five members of the executive
council of the American Federation Of
Labor, including President Gompers
and John Mitchell, head Of the U. NJ.
W., during which the case Of Foreman

Ing Office, who was dismissed because
he had been expelled from the local
bookbindegs' union, and afterwards
was reinstated by direction Of the
president, was the principal topic OF
discussion.
Labor Asked for the Conference.
The conference was granted at the
request of the labor leaders. The MIL
Ter case was very fully presented by
the members of the executive council,
1T the close of which the president
made statement in which he an
nounced that his decision not TO dis
miss Miller was final and that the
question Of his personal fitness must
be settled in the regular routine OF ad-
ministration The statement Is as fol-
lows:
Must Be Governed by the Law.
Il thank you and your committee
for your courtesy. and I appreciate the
opportunity to meet with you. 1t will
always be a pleasure to see you or any
representatives of your organizations
or Of your federation as q whole. As
regards the Miller case have little tc

and which differentiate any case In
which the government of the United

Ice l can no more recognize the fact
that a man does or does not belong to

Decision in the Case Ii FINAL
I'm the communication sent me by
various labor organizations protesting
against the retention of Miller In the
government printing Office the grounds
alleged are twofold: /. That ne is a
non-union man; 2, That he Is not per-
sonaily fit. The question Of his per-
sonal fitness is one to be settled in the
routine of administrative detail, and
cannot De allowed to conflict with or
to complicate the larger question of
governmental discrimination for OF
against him or any other man because
he Is or Is not member of a union.
This Is the only question now before
me for decision; and as to this my de-
cision Is final"

The problem the developments has
created is beyond the solution Of any
of the company officials on the ground.
Apparently their only hope is that the
anger Of tte mob will spend itself and
that the men will get out of town BY
degrees. The cause Of the riot Is that
the company Is in the hands of re
ceiyer, and the men have not been paid
their wages, although discharged.
