With the belligerent miners on Bull
Hill there was NO change in the situa.

so frequently. There were all sorts
Of rumors about the militia and the
intercession Of government troops. 1t
appeared reasonably certain that the
federal government would take no ac-
ton however. 1t is probable that the
governor will call out the militia as
soon as hostilities begin.
The reported attempt Of Sheriff
Bowers to arrest President Calderwood
caused the most intense excitement at
Cripple Creek and threats Of retalia-
ton were freely made.
The good news was flashed over the
wires from Denver to Cripple Greek
late Monday night that Governor
Waite, representing the miners, and
Messrs. Hagerman and Moffatt, repre-
senting the mine owners, hal agreed
upon terms Of compromise, and that
there was prospect Of peace.
1t appears that PresidentsJeffery Of
the Rio Grande had interested himself
in securing peace and succeeded in
getting the principals named to go
to the Equitable building Monday
night.
Governor Waite was quick to sub
init to the mine owners the same de-
mands that were made at the Colorado
Springs meeting on Saturday, In this
the governor asked for eight hours
work, with twenty minutes Of the
eight hours cut out for lunch. and the
employment Of no non-upion men.
The offer was not only promptly re-
jected, but the governor notified that
unless reasonable and fair" terms
were offered, the conference might as
well end.
The governors second proposition
agreed to eight hours actusl work for
a days labor, but it contained the
clause so Objectionable u the mine
owners, that referring to IT, employ.
ment Only Of union men. T@
Again the governor was notified Of
the rejection Of the overture. The
mine owners claimed that apart from
all sentiment, it would be Impossible
for the mine owners to open their
mines without the right 10 employ
non-union labor. They Questioned il
they could get enough people TO man
their mines, and that II they did, there
would be nothing to prevent the men
from repeating the present difficulties
as often as might please them.
This, then, left the COVER NOR no re-
course other than to bind the men to
work eight hours actual time, with

lie won the demand for % pay, but
lost the important point Of employing
only union men.
A paper was drawn up and signed by
the three parties. The conditions
read as follows:

work shall constitute a day, divided ms

then twenty minutes for lunch, then
four hours continuous work, for which
