many ways the most remarkable con-
flict between employers and employees
in the history of Denver came TO an
end saturday night.
The Times, the Post. the News and
the Republican have resumed pubIi-
cation.
Late Saturday night working
agreement for one year was signed
by Clayton Pensc, third vice prcsi-
dent of the National Pressmen's un-
ion. and the managers of the local
papers. IL provides for n flat in

ing.
Former United States Senator
Thomas NJ. Patterson, owner of the
News and Times, in behalf of the four
great Denver dailies, issued signed
statement in II four-pagc edition of

in the Sunday morning edition of the
News, which is n forceful, clear, eN-

the details of the controversy. Sem
ator Patterson does not mince mat
ters i'm this statement. He brands the
demands made on the Denver papers
by Clayton Pence, third vice presi-
dent of the National Pressmcn's un-
ion as arbitrary and impossible and
he makes it plain that the papers
would never have given in to his de-
mands. In the opening paragraph of
his statement MIR. Patterson says:
"Thc heavy loss to the publishers and
advertisers and the inconvenieces and
disappointments to the hundreds of
thousands of readers consequent up
on this enforced omission was the re-
| suit of the most unheard-of and arbi-
trary demands and insistence that
have ever to our knowledge been
made upon newspapers In this coun-
try"
