Denver, June -Denouncing
dance halls as ''ticket offices to
hell" John Hipp, Denver lawyer
and noted crusader in the West in
the campaign for national prohibi-
ton, has joined forces with the
Denver Federated Church Council in
movement to close all public
dance halls in this city.
Sunday dancing at local amuse-
ment parks has aroused considerable
antagonism, and a legal battle be-
tween the city and the management
of at least one park is imminent,
state law in permitting dancing
on Sunday. The park manager who
was arrested has also threatened to
invoke Colorados "blue laws" against
Sunday movies, street traffic, news
paper sales, cigar :tores and drug
stores if his Sunday dance hall is
closed
The art of terpsichore, as prac

Entrance to the store was effected

of the instances where poll tax re-

Secretary Davis Hopeful.

Secretary Davis said last night he
ia extremely optimistic of the presi-
dents efforts to bring about set
tlement through a voluntary confer
ence of the miners and OPERATORS
but earlier in the day he had limited
at the more aggressive measures un-
der consideration when he said that
in case of the failure of the present
efforts there might be "a peculiar
turn such as has never happened in
a previous strike"
President Harding discussed with
Mr.. Lewis possibilities of district or
state conferences, to which the
operators have agreed, but in which
agreement the mine leaders main
tain they are not sincere, because OF
the intense competition between DIS
tricts The latest word from the
operators was a letter received by
Secretary Davis yesterday morning,
1t said they would negotiate on the
state or district basis, but on no
other. Mr.. Davis did not make pub
lie the signatures.
District Conference Futile.
'I explained to the president tho
utter futility of district conferences,
said Mr.. Lewis More than two
decades of joint relationship and
collective bargaining in the coal in
dustry have shown that no operating
group in any field will hazard its
relationship with any competing
group until basis has been estab-
lished by sufficient tonnage to be
recognized as base.
"The secretary of labor and my
self had lunch with the president
following which we had a discussion
for about an hour and a half re-
lating to the general problems of the
bituminous mine industry and the
present strike situation. We dis
cussed the problems of overdevelop-
ment in the bituminous mining in
dustry, it's excessive number Of min
ing operations and excessive mum

her of men employed, the intermit-
tence and inadequacy of employ
ment for mine workers and various
questions affecting the stabilization
of the industry.
"With relation to the present
strike we considered the matter OF
possible joint conference of repre-
sentative operators and miners and
the merits of district joint confer
enoes as related to the usually fol-
lowed procedure of central competi-
tive fields. No definite plans were
decided upon"
Among the operators it is admit
ted that a minority in the industry
is willing to enter national or cen
trail competitive states conferences,
but it is generally insisted that the
real desires of the mine owners are
unknown because there is no central
organization and that many feel they
can enter no conference because OF
the Injunction of the federal court
at indianapolis.
Doubts Operators Good Faith.
Mr.. Lewis said virtually all OF the
largest coal companies in the bi-
luminous fields operate mines in sew
eral states and declared it is idle
to assume that they would make
any agreement that would put their
own operations at disadvantage.
He said that some of the com
panies operate mines in several
states and for that reason would not
make agreement in one district that
would react against their other hold
ings.
The labor leader was questioned
on the acceptability of truce while
an attempt was being made to set
tie the controversy. He said a
! truce would be a temporary settle
ment and indicated that such a sug-
gsstion would be given no serious
consideration by the miners. He was
asked about the real situation re-
specting the coal STOCKS, and said:

'"rhe modern dance, with its ac-
companying music, is nothing if not
carnal; it leads to carnality, and,
when kept. UP for hours, leads
straight to hell.''
wo-thirds of the women of the
street fall as a result of the dance

Hen Have Carnal Thoughts.
"a majority of the men who fire.
quent dance halls go there with
nothing but carnal thoughts in
their minds. The youth who goes
to the d"nee hall looking for clean
pleasure is considered lacking carnal
technique
Hipp declared that innocence
could not endure in dance halls
where "the atmosphere is heavy
with sensual music. and men and
women seem to be held together
with adhesive plaster
MANY girls, Hipp concluded
'who would be indignant if they
were asked by their mothers to as
sist in the household duties after
their days work, go to dance halls
and dance until midnight hugged
close to some man who has just one
purpose in his mind--to get closer
It's vile and wicked and must be
done away with

dance with girls and boys with boys
the movement against dance halls
would not be necessary.
