Good Time.


The XII employees as we'll as
the XII company believe in do
ing things up right when they
go into a thing and .his was
demonstrated last Sunday when
the first annual picnic Of the
employees of the Kenfeld-Lam-
oreaux company in this city was
held.
Long Lake was selected as the
place for holding the annual
outing and Sunday morning the
procession started cn-t their way
for the picnic grounds, some 60
ing by automobile while four
large hay racks were put into
service and these carried large
numbers of the merry throng.
The morning hours were de-
voted to berry picking contest,
there being plenty of ripe blue
berries growing near the lake
and some large amounts were
picked, Harry Newman setting
the record with upwards of 100
quarts.
At noon lunch was served.
Mrs. Alex Gackowski and Mrs.
Thomas Lamoreaux, who had
looked after the arrangements
for the meal, provided a boun-
teous repast and to say it was
enjoyed by those attending is
putting it mildly, for the way
things began to disappear from

camp. Bill Podvin and Remsen
Bell acted as water boys and al
most played themselves out

a half mile distance to the pic
mic grounds.
The afternoon was devoted to
water sports at which some of
the swimmers displayed their
ability at swimming as we'll as
diving.
From four to FIVE a base ball
game was staged on the green
near the lake and it has not as
yet been determined who the
winners were. Next came a
tug of war, ten men to q side,
but the rope proved too weak to
withstand the giant strength of
the K-L employees and several
times it parted, letting the con-
testants bite the dust. It was
then decided to cut down the
number to five men to a side and
after doubling the rope a contest
was finally staged. Potatoe
races, long distance running,
short races, etc. were then.
staged in which employees, both
men and woman, as well as the
wives of the employees contest

SPECIAL TRAIN ID.
 MEET 158TH BOYS
 WHEN THEY RETURN

A special train carving citizens of Phoenix and all ex-service men of this section who have previously returned from duty in the camps or from over seas, will meet the members of the 15sth infantry when they return. This was the decision reached yesterday by the committee who are in charge of entertaining the returning heroes of the great war. The boys who have already returned from service will be included in the reception just the same as the members of the 15Sth and will all receive an invitation to accompany the committee and citizens on the special train.
 It is not known at this time the ex- act date the boys will arrive and it has not been decided where they will be met. but possibly some nearby town. A patriotic program and enter tainment is being prepared by the committee and one of the largest events in the history of Phoenix is anticipated by those in charge. The fact that all the ex-Service boys are ! included in the celebration will make ! it day of interest to practically every 1 citizen in the valley.
 l In order to arrange a celebration l fitting to the homecoming heroes it will l be necessary to raise sufficient funds | to pay the expenses. The committee reports that they have not met with the response that they expected and many have not subscribed who should. l One citizen when approached by the soliciting committee stated that he did not have the money but. would gladly donate a $50 Liberty bond to the cause. A slogan has been adopted by the entertainment committee that should remind those who have so far failed to donate that they have moi
 entirely fulfilled their obligation tc the boys who fought for them. It is

 date of the celebration will be giver

TWO BITS 4 JAY IS
 BONE OF CONTENTION

LEADVILLE. Colo. April 21.-At d largely attended meeting of miners, the organization of union, known as the Leadville Miners, Mechanics and en- gineers association was perfected for the express purpose of dealing with situation which rapidly drifted along without guidance or direction.
 The principal business of the new organization was to continue a com mittee of miners with power to nego tiate Q settlement of the strike, which has now extended to nearly all the mines of the district.
 Through the efforts of a committee of businessmen, a meeting has been arranged between the principal mine operators and miners committee, and it is expected that at this meeting the entire local mining situation will be thoroughly gone into. The meeting will take place tonight and it is under stood that a proposal will be made fU, a settlement on the basis of $4 day, instead of the s3.75 offered.
 For the first time since the present dispute over the announced reduction in the wage scale arose, a committee of miners and the largest mine op- orators met in conference and endeav- ored to arrive at an understanding. The meeting was held behind closed doors, and at its conclusion, it was announced that no decision had been arrived at, but that further confer ences would be held tomorrow The matter in dispute is 9 cents a day. The miners committee. it is understood, is authorized to negotiate for $4 day. and the operators have stated that s3.75 was the best they could concede.

that the impasse is to be preached with out further argument, possibly, as in dicated by an official announcement that the convening of the Italian par liament, which was to have taken place Wednesday, and before which Premier Orlando and Foreign Minister Sonnino hoped to place the facts accomplished, has been postponed for two weeks from next Wednesday, Until May 6.
 A delay of three days also is in pros pect for the meeting at Versailles be- tween the representative of the allied and associated powers and the German delegates, for the delivery to the Ger mans of the allied peace terms. The German delegation. Marshal Foch has been informed. cannot reach Versailles until April 2S. Originally they were 1 invited to be there April 25.
 The three day delay possibly may be of benefit to the allies in completing the draft of the lengthy peace document which is said to approximate 100,0 ,000 words. Some doubt has been expressed that the allies would be able to give the Germans more than a summary of their peace conditions at the first meeting at Versailles, owing to the length of the document.
 Talk of the German government send ing merely messengers" to Versailles to receive the peace treaty, is discounted by official information received by Marshal Foch, that the German dele 1 gation will consist of six high person ages, headed by Count yon Brockdorff- RantZau, the foreign minister.
 A new provision of the peace treaty, intending to make impossible any at tempts of the Germans to utilize outside forces to re-establish their military machine, has been approved by the council of foreign ministers. This is a prohibition of the sending by Ger many of military instructors to for eign countries.

EUROPE At a Glance

When, apparently. the council Of four was ready to take decisive action on the Italian claims in the Adriauc, including the coast, islands and Plume, the Italian delegates, Premier Orlando and Foreign Minister Sonnino failed to appear at Monday afternoons ses- sion. These ministers had discussed the problem insistently with Premier Clemenceau and Premier Llogd George, earlier in the day, and for the purpose of bringing the matter to a climax, President Wilson attended the after noon session.
 It was then expected that the dues- ton, which up to that time was con- sidered almost insurmountable, would be decided. but owing to the absence of the Italian delegates, discussion Of the Italian claims was dispensed with. It is announced that the council will take no further action on the subject, pending information as to the future course of the Italians.
 Germany has accepted all of the con- ditions of the allies with respect to the Versailess congress.
 The aspirations of Italy in regard to the Adriatic sea coast still appear to be the insurmountable question before the council of four at the Paris peace con- ference.
 Sundays discussion of the Italian claims was followed Monday by two additional conferences but as yet there apparently has been no breach in the deadlock over the demands which the Italians consider irreducible, and the compromise offer of the other partici- pants in the gotiations-Premiei Clemenceau, David Lloyd George ant President Wilson.
