ESPECIAL TO THE NEWS)

second meeting arranged between mine managers in Clifton -Morenci district and their former workmen will result in a conference accord ing to all information at hand here tonight. Morenci workmen this afternoon named I adore Larrea, A. Villegas, A. Gais, J. Mccall, H. Daly and w. Mitchell; while Cliff ton workmen named J. s. Hughes, G. Holtingsworth, Rudulph Schos- tai and Rafael Holguir. Metcalf at late hour tonight was balloting on their four representatives, and so the initial list will be completed by tomorrow and ready for submis. sion to mine managers who will choose three from five names of those who will attend the discus sion. The meeting should be held before the end of the week.
 There is general belief that the first conference which fell through several days ago would have been held had not an expert made a re- port to mislead mine managers as to true character of conference members designated by workmen. It will be recalled that managers stated that they were willing to talk with their own workmen pro- viding such workmen were in no way connected with the Western Federation of Miners. This inform ation was not directly stated to workmen at Clifton, either pur- posely or thru carelessness with the result that the first committe sent to ElPaso was made up in the ma jority of members of Clifton Moren- ci Western Federation Union men. One of this committee was Abram Rico who is president of one of the unions. Two members of the five named were agreeable to mine man. agers, solely for the reason that they were not prominent in the work of forming the union or guid- ing it's affairs since formed.
 AS one manager put it, "Why should we confer with a group of men about conditions under which they might return to work when the men with whom we are confer ring will never be workmen under conditions agreed to. We will dis cuss conditions complained of by our workmen with our workmen but we will not discuss any farther with high officials of the Western Federation of Miners. We are not concerned in their future other than to see that they are not again given an opportunity to bring about dissatisfaction among our work men,"
 Locally there is a strong senti- ment favoring an early settlement of the strike, but it is generally agreed that the mine managers a taking precautions against the ef- forts of the Western Federation of Miners organization gaining foot hold in their camp. Mover. presi- dent of Federation, today indicated that he would at an early date, leave for California and Federation affairs, and that in the future he would be guided so far as Clifton and Morenci are concerned, by Guy Miller, a member of his Executive committee.
 Governor Hunt who made tw, trips to Clifton, which was such encouragement to Mover and which was helpful to him in forming his union at Metcalf, Morenci and Cliff ton, has been discouraged during the day over the fact that the pres ent program will of necessity take several days to work out. Witt Jacob Meyer, representative of tht Department of Labor he has, how ever, concluded to await the resul of the scheduled conference befor, taking further action.
 There was but one ripple of ex citement during the day, and thi was the receipt of dispatches say ing a striker named Sellers at
