The sessions are being held as 100 deputies patrol the streets of Park City to keep down any disturbance.
Mine operators in the Park City district, where the metal mines have been strike closed for nine weeks, prepared today to take means to insure the immediate opening of the mines.
The Park Utah Consolidated Mine, located in Wasatch county opened Saturday morning with 60 men to a shift.
Closed mines include the siver King Coalition and the Park City Consolidated Mines company.
Operators announced today that while mine extension work will have to be done before this can be accomplished, work will begin immediately. The mine owners are also well aware of the fact that one hundred per cent protection will be guaranteed them in Wasatch county. This should prevent any picketing interferences from the striking miners, who reside mostly in Park City.
They believe it is time to call a halt to this possibility and get those who want to work back on the job as rapidly as possible.
The mine operators met this with a 25 cents a day increase in pay and no discrimination.
This proposal was defeated by union members in a secret ballot last Friday by a vote of three to one.
The following day miners in Wasatch county after being given every assurance by Sheriff Ephraim Adamson of Summit county that they would be given every protection if they attempted to enter the mines through Park City, proceeded to the mining camp.
Following this Governor Henry H. Blood called representatives of mine operators and union officials into conference in his office after being assured that no futher attempt would be made for the present to reopen the two Park City district mines in Summit county. The Summit county commission also called for an investigation into the alleged failure of Sheriff Adamson to cope with the situation Saturday afternoon.
Several hundred men were congregated on Main street in Park City today although no trouble was expected. Under orders from the sheriff no more than 10 persons can be in any one group.
