 The committee departed on Friday lmorning for Fl Paso. the expenses of the men being paid oy the mine man., agers and arrived in the Pass City on Saturday morning.
 It is understood that the powers conferred upon the committee of five by the employees are limited, and that before any binding settlement can be made, the proposition will first be submitted to the employees as a whole. The committee will pre- sent certain demands on behalf of the employees and will no doubt be pre- scented with an answer on the part of the mine managers. After full discussion the committee is expected tC return to Clifton and report to mass meeting of employees. It is also the general impression that as a result of the preliminary conference the committee of five will endeavor to induce the mine managers to return to Clifton and Morenci for future conferences
