Hague Conference Will Try to. Accom-.
plish Something Definite.
The HAGUE, June 15.-It is now ex-
pected that the peace conference will
not adjourn before the mindle OF July,
as it is thought the labors of the dele
gates will not be finished before that
time, and there is the additional ques-
ton of the acceptance by the powers Of
the conference. ...~.
The delegates who desire to see some
tangible result accomplished by the
conference, recognize, that if the men,
bers are contented with simply trans
hitting the decisions to their respec-
tive governments, the work Of the dele
gates will simply be pigeonholed in the
various ,chancelleries of Europe and will
notbe executed. Therefore, the delegates
have resolved to adjourn their sittings
as soon as their work is completed, and
to: submit the result to their respective
governments with the request that the
delegates be empowered to sign a def
mite document. 1t is expected the gov
ernments will keep track of the progress
of the work and that they will require
about 10 days for deliberation on their
final decision, which will bring the final
adjournment in the middle Of July.

i. DENVER, June 15.-The~ 5000 en-
ployes of the Trust smelters in Denver,
Pueblo and Leadville, walked out at
noon. Within 4S hours, it is predicted,
most of the mines in Leadville, Aspen,
Creole, Ouray and the other mining
camps of the state, with the exception
of Cripple Creek, will be closed, throw
ing thousands Of miners out of employ
ment: Che low grade metaliferous
mines Of San Juan county already have
been forced to cease operation by the
strike at the Durango smelter., All
shipments of ore and fuel to the smelt-
ers have been ordered stopped. AS a
result many coal mines are preparing to
reduce their production and some will
close. Almost every industry in the
state will be affected.
The strike is due to the refusal of the
American Smelling and Refining COM
pany to grant an S-hour day, without
reduction of wages. '
