#002 The Worlds Columbian Exposition Scrapbook, p. 119
EXPOSITION STUDY CLASS REVIEW. 31
"Will the Alien Labor Law of the United States admit the
employes of European exhibitors who are necessary to their installa-
tion, and the maintenance of exhibits?"
"Will there be a ruling at the hands of the United States Govern-
ment which will guarantee the integrity of foreign patents?"
"Will the Exposition Corporation undertake to secure an estab-
lished freight rate on steamship lines for foreign exhibits in addition to
a distinct railway rate?"
"Will European exhibitors who desire to participate in central
station work be allowed to choose engine and boiler machinery, and will
the machinery so chosen be arranged for by the Exposition Company
—that is, will the Exposition Company undertake to secure the pres-
ence of such engine and boiler machinery by paying freight charges
for the same in consideration of its free use during the Exposition?"
"Will arrangements be made by the Exposition Company for the
care, board, etc., of the employes of exhibitors, at a fixed rate, on
the Exposition grounds or in the vicinity, or must exhibitors make
individual arrangements in this behalf?"
I was informed by at least two exhibitors that machinery weighing
at least 45,000 pounds to the single piece would be a part of their
exhibit, and the question was asked whether this machinery could be
moved ; the answer which I gave, viz., that arrangements would be
made for moving pieces of 30,000 pounds, was met by the supplemen-
tary question, "How can heavier machinery be moved by exhibitors
and what will the same cost?"
Herr Wermuth, Chairman of the German Commission had not returned
to Germany from Chicago when I left there, but in conference with his
able representative, Privy Councilor Herr Caspar, a mutual course of
action on the part of this department and the commission was agreed upon
touching the basis of dealing with exhibitors ; and in London, in con-
ference with Sir Henry Wood and W. H. Preece, of the Royal Commis-
sion, similar agreements were had fixing a policy which should be the
basis of our intercourse hereafter. Under these agreements all pam-
phlets or circulars or items of information were to be transmitted to
exhibitors, and copies of the same sent to the Royal Commission with
the names of the parties to whom sent; in all cases a paster to be
attached to documents pointing out to exhibitors that all business
between them and the World's Columbian Exposition must be done
through their government commissions.
I learned from the Hon. Whitelaw Reid, American Minister, that
upon the opening of the Chamber of Deputies this winter, a bill will be
introduced by the Premier for an appropriation with which to carry on
World's Fair work, and that after the passage of this bill a working
commission will be appointed, which in turn will appoint sub-commis-
sions for the various departments. In the meantime, however, much
unreliable information is being circulated and the French people, espe-
cially the business men and manufacturers, are eager for reliable data.
Failing to obtain this information, they are disposed to a lethargic
attitude.
Advice was freely given me by Frenchmen enthusiastic in behalf of
