Hioks, James O'Connor (state president of the Mine Workers' unión), Alderinan James Scanion, and John Mitcnell (president of the school board). The meeting developed into a cross-questioning of Daliell as to what he intended to do regardins the resolutions. Most of the questions were proposed by O'Connor, representing the miners. Dalzell sald he would willIngly tuke back all the miners who had luit work save those who Tlad oommitted crimes. "When work is resumed," said Dalzell "the company wiü recognlze naither raoe nor color." "The miners will agree te that," responded O'Connor. Then Dalkil explnined that colored men who had been driven from the mine were anxious to come back. They had sent word to that effect. "I replied," he continued, "th'it if they wanted to come back they could do so. Under this resolution was not that rightf" "It was," said O'Connor, "only you must not hold us all responslble if some of them should be stabbed in the back." Dalzell then said that he was in favoi of haviug thu persons who had led the mob in the outrages punished. O'Connoi requestpd Diilzell to wait two or threa days afcer the minea starled before he asked the colored minors to return. He roplied that he would ask noone to come to work, but thao ïf colorod miners asked for work he would take them at once. He then turned to Mayor Delmarga and said: "The miuers have presonted me with resolutions declarinz all the miners to be íree and equal regardless of color. They are as fonows," He then read the resolutions adoped at the mass meeting and continuod: "I take this to mean that the miners have withdrawn the resolution to the effect that only white miners should be employed in the mines. I am inclined to accept it. The colored people who were driven out of Spring Vallny havo told me they are ready to come back. Are you ready to protect them?'' The mayor replied indirectly that he would do the best he couid. This was satisfactory to Dalzell and he concluded by informing all present that he was satisfied with the resolutions and conference, and that he would advise colored people who had been driven out that they could come back. The representatives of the miners said they were satisfled, and Colonel Bayle said he was pleased to see an amicable settlement. The meeting then adjourned. Notwithstanding that the miners adopted resolutions to the contrary, it is generally believed that if the negroes return to work there will be trouble. About the only Italian represented was Mayor Delmargo. None of the other natives of eastern or southern Europe were represented. They are the people who have created all the disturbance. They still adhere to the conviction that the negroes ehould not be tolerated in this región, and declare they iron't permit it. Should the negroes return those well acquainted with the make-up of Spring "Valley say there will be trouble.
