Families of Striking Miners Are Starving and Willing To Accept
 Any Proposition.

DENVER, Sept. S.-Negotiations between the union leaders and the mine owners for a settlement of the strike are reported to have progress ed to a point which indicates that operations will soon be resumed. The negotiations have been conducted sec retly but the strike leaders declare that the propositions of the mine own CTS as submitted to them will meet with the approval of the striking miners.
 The federal mediator has been ask ed to return to Denver and act as arbitrator in the adjustment of sev- eral minor points upon an agreement that has. been reached. The miners are elated with the prospect of an early resumption of work. Many of the original strikers have been fore ed to seek other fields to earn a live lihood, while others have left the country, fearing prosecution for law lessness.
 The families of the striking miners, who are mostly foreigners, are re- ported to be in pitiable condition owing to the many months Of enforc- ed idleness of the breadwinners. While they have received small al. lowances from the unions many or them are destitute and 1t is said they are now ready to accept almost any proposition advanced by the mine onwers.
