General President John p. White OF
the United Mine Workers returned to
Denver this week to be on the ground
during the conference between strikers
and operators. He has not expressed
himself as to the possible outcome
other than to say that he hopes an
agreement will be reached for a restor-
alton of peace that justifies the miners
returning to work.
On Tuesday forty-four miners were
arrested In the northern coal field
