Committee of Five Expected Back in Clifton on Sunday Afternoon With Final Statement From Managers As To Their Position

The peace conference between the committee representing the employees and the mine managers, according to the latest telegraphic advices from Fl Paso today, is expected to end on Saturday.
 The committee of employees, five in number, expect the operators to re fuse the proposals made by them to the operators. Five proposals, including wage scale and non-discrin- ination have been discussed and the entire general situation was gone over for the last time today.
 The concensus of opinion is that when the preliminary conference is finally adjourned the mine managers will issue a statement defining their position to the committee in answer to their proposals and the committee will, under their instructions, submit this statementIto the employees.
 The purport of this statement of the managers is as yet unknown. Upon it's acceptance or rejection by the strikers depends the duration of the strike.
 the Arizona Copper Company, and Young J. Pentland, a director, arriv- ed dn Fl Paso this week and are mak- ing an investigation for the Scotch cfna1yhaIdarc nd been sent from 'Edinburg for this pur- pose.
 It is expected that the committee of five will return to Clifton on Sun day afternoon and make their re- port to the employees. In the event of the rejection of any or all propos- als made by the mine managers the indications are that the strike will be prolonged indefinitely.
 Locally the feature of the week was the demonstration made against M. (Biddy) Doyle and James s. Casey at Morenci on Wednesday morning.
 Casey and Doyle arrived in Mo- renci for the purpose of taking affi- davits on the strike situation, as representatives of the Phelps-Dodge Company. Shortly after their arrival a rumor was circulated to the effect that Doyle was a professional strike breaker and was there for the pur- pose of furnishing transportation to Duncan to those who desired to ex- press a willingness to return to work.
 On Tuesday night movement was started in Morenci among the strik- CTS to deport Doyle and Casey. A number of strikers were bent on go- ing to the Morenci Hotel and starting the two men down the road, but President Rico interferred on orders from the sheriff's office and the move ment was stopped. On the following day about noon five hundred strikers assembled in front of the Morenci, ho- tel and dared Doyle and Casey to come outside. Naturally they de- clined the invitation.
 Later Deputy Sheriff Fred Hill ar rived on the scene and requested Doyle and Casey to accompany him to Clifton for better protection. Up or arrival here an automobile was secured by Doyle and Casey to take them to Duncan, but a few minutes later Under Sheriff Hill, accompanied by Deputy Sheriff Address and Depu- ty Sheriff Arnett, called at the hotel and assured the two men that they would be in no danger iu Clifton and that no demonstration would be made against them. Upon his repre- sen- tat-on Doyle and Casey remained il Clifton overnight and departed for Duncan the following morning.
 In order to keep up the enthusiasm among the strikers, a parade was ar ranged for Thursday afternoon, composed of members from the three camps. This was the first parade held in fifteen days, and in compari- son to former parades was small in numbers, owing to the fact that a large number of the strikers were on picket duty on the outskirts of the district. These pickets were thrown out on account of tle report that a number of former employees were moving on Clifton with the intention of taking charge of the Arizona Cop per company's smelter.
 Under the strongest of pressure, Juan Guerra and Ricardo Rodriguez resigned Saturady, October 23, as president and secretary respectively
