PEACE REIGNS
 IN COAL FIELD Colorado Strikers Welcome Government Troops, See ing Recognition of Union. STRIKERS KEEP GUNS
STRIKERS KEEP GUNS
Unwilling to Surrender Arms Until Mine Guards Are Disarmed and State Troops
 Dispersed.

Denver, Col, April 3O.-With fed eral troops in charge of the southern coal fields, peace prevails today. Not a shot was fired.
 While the strikers welcomed government troops, believing that their coming means recognition of their union they are willing to give up their arms only conditionally. Major Holbrook, in charge of the troops from Fort Leavenworth, has not yet demanded that the strikers surrender their arms, but such a de- mand is expected.
 Don't Trust State.
 William Diamond, organizer of the United Mine Workers, makes the position of the miners plain in statement tonight:
 The strikers will comply with every command of the federal au- thorities," he said, provided we are assured that the mines will be closed and the federal troops remain until the difficulty is settled. If the govern ment troops will disarm guards and the state troops will assure us that there will be no recurrence of the events which have marked their oc- cupancy of the strike zone, the min CTS will surrender their arms.
 "lf on the other hand, federal troops are to remain here only until the state government can assert it's au- thority and re-establish the order of things that has marked the past, I am sure the men will conceal their weapons. The guns belong to the men individual and should they be sur rendered they will be surrendered in- dividually. The United Mine Workers, as an organization, has nothing to do with the arms"
 Fighting Man Talks
 A conference with Major Holbrook and the strikers chiefs was held to- day following the conference. Major Holbrock issued this statement:
 ''Major Holbrook met the repre- sentatives of the strikers and dis cussed existing conditions in Las Animas county. As result it is be- lieved satisfactory relations have been established and that acts of violence will at once cease in said county. The strikers leaders ex- pressed themselves as very willing to give all the assistance in their power toward bringing about normal conditions"
 The inquest into the twenty-five deaths at the Ludlow tent colony, which was to be resumed today, was postponed until tomorrow. The jury, however, inspected the Ludlow battle field and examined the safety pits in which fourteen children and two women died,

Washington, Apr. 30-Secretary Bryan said tonight that Huerta has agreed to suspend hOstilities with the United States pending tile mediation proceedings.

Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1914-05-01

Secretary Bryan was at the Argen- tina legation for more than two hours. He went to the legation about 9 o'clock, and left Mrs. Bryan waiting in his carriage outside. He returned in about five minutes and told Mrs. Bryan not to wait for him as he would be in the conference for some time.
 When he made the announcement that Huerta had agreed to an armis- tice he was asked if the armistice in cluded Carranza. He replied:
 "We kn6w nothing of that"
 Considerable speculation was in dulged in on account of Secretary Bryan's attendance at the conference The secretary was asked if he had been called into the conference upon the receipt of Huerta's message, but he said the message was received during the conference.
 Washington, April 3O.-The oil interests of Great Britain and the United States are the first assured beneficiaries of the plan for media tion, armistice and other agreements for the bringing about of peace i1 Mexico.
 After conference today between many high officials, Secretary of the Navy Daniels telegraphed Admiral Badger to arrange with Sir Christo- pher Craddock, the British admiral, for the establishment as a neutral zone of the territory near ampico, in which the operations of the oil mag mates are caCIled on.
 "A neutral zone" is an area set apart and protected.
 Property within the zone is there fore safe from harnl The oil wells will be protected by the joint British and American forces.
 There is no question among of- ficials here that the plan of the "oil well" neutral zone is feasible, and they regard it as good as established. Joint American and British control over the zone will protect 1t forever, if necessary; centainly during the negotiations for mediation and peace.
 All haste is being made by the mediators in their preparations for a plan. which, they hope, will settle Mexico's troubles. Some interesting developments were announced today, Carranxa Sending Delegate. The mediators have asked General Carranza directly for his views on an armistic and the Spanish ambas- sador has asked Huerta to express
