HOPE TO SETTLE STRIKE
SITUATION is NOW CLARIFIED.
ONLY ONE SUGGESTION

TO GRANT MANY DEMANDS
STATES PROPOSITION, HowEv-

UNION RECOGNITION

Denver, Dec. t-secretaly Of Labor
W. B. Wilson and Governor e. M.
Ammons this afterneon prepared a
joint letter to the operators and min
ers withdrawing the arbitration pro
position submitted last week for the
settlement Of the Colorado coal strike.
This action was decided upon, it was
explained, merely TO clarity the situa-
tion and leave only one proposition
before the miners.
This leaves the. governors proposal,
drawn up at the close Of last weeks
conference, under consideration. The
operators already have agreed to ac-
cept. the governors plan Of settlement.
Whether this proposal would be sub
mitted TO the striking miners, as, it
was said, their representatives on the
committee had agreed. still was un-
decided at o'clock this afternoon

tfie governor and secretary deeided
upon the withdrawal Of the arbitra-
tion proposal until the matter Of a
referendum vote had been settled.
Whether the southern Colorado strik-
ers' conference committee and union
officials would decide to submit the
proposals made by Governor Ammons
for the settlement Of the Colorado coal
strike to a referendum vote had not
been decided at noon today. At least
no word had been received at the gov
ernors office indicating what the
miners next move would be.
The governors proposal, submitted
at the conclusion Of last weeks con
ference and later accepted by the
operators committee, provided for the
termination Of the strike on a basis
waving recognition Of the union and
granting practically all other demands
of the strikers and promising strict
enforcement Of the state mining laws.
The suggestion that the governors
plan be submitted to the men on
strike was made by Secretary of La
Dor w. B. Wilson at the closing ses-
sion Of last Tuesdays conference.
Subsequently the miners committee
refused to accept the plan, without
its having been submitted to a refer
endum vote.
Awaiting decision on this point, the
operators last night sent a letter to
the governor, Withholding their an
swcr to The proposal Of Secretary
Wilson that the parties to the contro-
yersy submit the questions involved
to a board Of arbitration and that
pending such arbitration the miners
return to work. Inquiries at United
Mine Workers headquarters here this
morning failed to locate Vice Presi-
dent Frank ]. Hayes and no one else
would venture a prediction as to what
action the union officials would take.

Bingham, Utah, Dec. l-Smudges
were lit early today in the Utah-Apex
mine where Ralph Lopez, desperate,
is making his last stand With all
exits to the mine except that Of the
Andy tunnel barrieaded and sealed
with mud, and with poisonous gases
floating back into the dephs Of the
workings, it was expected that the
fugitive would make break for lib
erty today.
A large amount Of dynamite is stor-
ed in the mine, and knowing Lopez
could easily blow out one of the bulk
heads, the seven sheriffs early today
stationed a dozen deputies at each Of
the is tunnel mouths with orders that
they shoot him on sight.
The 10000 inhabitants of this can
yon-walled mining town, deep in
depths of snow, were waiting in tense
excitement for the denouement Of the
man hunt that already has cost six
lives.
A more dramatic setting for the
ending of the career Of Lopez, who
shoots for the heart and makes every
bullet count, could hardly be found
anywhere in the west. The mine is
located near the top O ia precipitous
wall Of the canyon and from any Of
its is tunnel mouths one could throw
a stone that would descend for nearly
thousand feet before it struck the
bottom Here and there a miners
cabin elings to the cliff and from one
of these widowsa t watching today
for the avenging Of her husbands
death.
Just before noon the mouth Of the
Andy tunnel was stopped with bulk
head and the fumes Of a sulphur
smudge directed into the mine
through an opening. Bulkheads were
placed in the other nine mouths yes
terday, and at noon smudges of vari
GUS compositions were sending theh
poisonous fumes back into every tun
mel If Lopez did NOT attempt to breaE
out, it was planned to continue the
smudging for two days
The exits Of the mine are at' differ
ent levels, and although there is nc
record. it is estimated the tunnels
inclines and blind stopes criss cross fol
total distance Of. so miles. The
seven sheriffs in charge have over Z
hundred deputy sheriffs under them.
Practically all Of these have been II
pursuit Of Lopez since November IL

Writes OF Her Trip East Daugh-
ter OF W. N. Head, OF Louis.
viIIe.-Takes In All The Sights,

''My Dear Folks:'-It was your de.
sire, when we left Louisville, that we
should write you full descriptive let
ter Of our journey.
On Sunday, Dec. %, 1912. at Ito p
I'M, we left over the Pennsylvania
XLimited for New York City, and ar
rived at Cincinnati that same evening
lat D m where we met Jasper From
|Cincinnati we continued on our journey
Ito Columbus, Ohio, where the trains
come In below the street, and one has
to climb long fight Of stairs to reach
the surface.
We reached Pittsbure, Pa at IDS,
Monday morning through dense cur
tains Of smoke, as it is smelling and
manufacturing city and is very dirty
and smoky. We got only glimpse OF
Pittsburg from our pullman window as
the train did not lay over long, and it
was very dark. The time changes one
h5ur at Pittsburg in advance of Louis
ville time.
Just before reaching Harrisburg, the
capitol of Pennsylvania, tie train
crossed a bridge supported by great
many riers built so clos together that
it would be impossible for boat to pass
under. From the depot at Harrisburg
we had good view Of the State Capt
tol building arising in majestic, white
beauty in the distance. After leaving
Harrisburg, Pa, we passed close to the
Elliott Fisher Typewriter Mfg. Plant,
which operates force of about Loco
men day and night.
We reached Philadelphia, Pa, at
noon which ended the trip across the
state of Pennsylvania The Broad
Street station at Philadelphia is one OF
the most modern and fully equipped
railroad stations in the world. All
through Pennsylvania we passed large
smelling and manufacturing plants,
and we also saw many Quakers wear
ing their quaint, old fashioned costumes
We crossed from Philadelphia into
Camden, N. j.. and continued on our
journey to New York City.
New Jersey land stretches out low,
fat and sandy as far as eve can see,
and all the farm houses are bu 1t on the
modern city style plans. The farms
seem to be well worked showing ut
most care given them by thrifty farm
fers. At Manhattan Junction the cleo.
trio locomotive was coupled to the
train, as steam locomotives cannot en-

vinia depot at 9TH Ave-, and 32nd st.
SO mush fer the trip, and now we will
endeavor to give you brief and graph
ic description of the sights and incl
dents accompanying our stay in New
York CITY
New York City is very busy, very
large and very noisy, but, in spite Of all
this, very beautiful and instructive
place. The constant clatter of surface
traffic, the cesseless rumble OF elevated
trains overhead and the never ending
rush Of subwsys underneath greatly
confuse a new conner. The first inter-
esting sight was the Woolworth Build
ing rearing its lofty head 81 stories in
the air and resembling mammoth
marble monument piercing the sky.
During our stay in New York City we
saw the Aquarium at ,ttery Park
which is a two story round building
containing every description OF tine
large seals. One fish in particular,
which is very interesting, was the horse
fish which is very small, having horse
shaped head and a curved tail, and re-
sembling closely in appearance, the
pawns used on a chess board. We al'o
saw at Battery Park the emigrants
landing from foreign shores after hav-
ing passed examination at Ellis Island.
The men wore costumes peculiar to
the foreign countries, while the women
wore brilliant and gaudy van dolores
dresses.
Another day was spent at the Art
Museum, which contains innumerable
master. pieces of art, hapdiwork, tc-
gether with ancient and historical rel-
les. 1t takes about thrce weeks to see
the full collection. We next visited
the Museum of Natural History, occI-
plying one square block and to VIII CHI
an immense addition is being built on.
This building is four stories high and
contains stuffed birds, animals and fish
of all sorts, and also very valuable
collection of precious stones. Several
ancient mummies are exhibited in this
building together with relics found in
Indian mounds. These mummies are
estimated by scientists to be hundreds
of years old. The old custodian of this
building stated that a young professor
had spent over year in the building
and had not yet acquired complete
knowledge of the contents.
We also spent one afternoon at he
Hippodrome which is another building
occupying a square block. This is
massive theatre building standing five
stories high. They are now playing
the descriptive show, entitled Under
Many Flags" The stage is of enor-
nous proportions and would make four
ordinary stages. 1t is convexed, and
the curtain drops instead of rising.
In the course of the performance,
each country was represented and
there were at least II horses on the
stage at one time beside the thousand
or more actors and the heavy settings.
