(Special to The Tribune) CHEYENNE, Wyo., Jan. 13.—General Pershing’s arrival here tomorrow afternoon may be featured: by a clash between labor unions and the police as the result of the refusal of Mayor Ed P. Taylor, who was elected last fall on the Labor ticket, to grant a permit for a parade by labor unions in the general’s reported honor and the gardiess of the wishes of the mayor and the official committee of welcome.
