The Pittsburg Leader tells an interesting
story OF how Mr.. Carnegie has defeated the
organization of another gigantic trust:
MIR. Andrew carnegie's arrival in Pittsburs
has been followed by consultation With his
! partners, as result OF which the announce
ment is made that there will be no change
| In the ownership OF the Carnegie interests.
| The possibility OF a change has been openly
discussed for some time rumors being abroad
| to the effect that Mr.. II c. Frck and others
held an option on Mr. Carnege's share In the
! interests Of his firm and that Mr.. Carnegie
was not aversc to selling out for sum be-
lieved TO be at least $4,000 900. Had this
| transaction been contaminated, the prospect
1 was that the control Of the steel trade OF the
| United States would pass into the hands of
a syndicate organized on the plan so much IN
! vogue nowadays and capitalized at colossal
| figure. This scheme, II 1t ever was seriously
contemplated, has fallen 10 the ground Mr.
Carnegie retains his holdings, the Carnegie
/ Steel company remains as II has been aud
the promoters behind the plan of reorganza-
ton are left TO console themselves In the
pursuit OF smaller game for their failure to
| crown the recent record OF consultations and
| OF the most important manufacturing concern
in the world
pittsburgers generally will rejoice over the
turn which affairs have taken. Aside from
any sentiment OF regard for Mr.. Carnegie
growing out of the gifts which he has be-
slowed upon our city, the feeling OF local
pride IN the great enterprises witch he has
built IN Is very strong. and 1t would be much
regretted II the individual headshp OF the
Carnegie interests, the genius which brought
those interests into being and guided them
to unexamplcd success, should be displaced
by a combination OF the same type as the
groups OF capitalists that have come to con
troll most other lines OF industry
The good roads movement should go hand
