Shortly after noon the conference re
cessed until 2 o'clock, when the oper-
ators and miners officials were to
submit answers to a number OF qves-
lions submitted to them by the con-
ciliators. These questions, said to
be six in number, were understood to
call for the attitude of the contending
factions on certain points OF the strtge
controversy which are considered Of
material importance by the Federal
Representatives. The questions, how.
ever, were not made public.
Answers are Formulated.
Headed by President White, the
