Des Moines, Dec. 13.-Local coal oper-
ators discredit d story sent out from
Oskaloosa to the effect that a syndicate
headed by j. Pierpont Morgan is trying
to corner the bituminous coal output
snd has taken options on Iowa coal
LANDS.
They say that the options that have
been taken nave been in the interests OF
the Whitebreast and allied Burlington
road companies, and that the purpose 10
to extend their holdings 90 as to guar
antee a coal supply for the road contig-
uous to it's lines of road for a number OF
years. They say that no options have
been given in this district other than
those secured on mineral rights by the
Whitebreast and American companies,
both of which have done extensive pros
pecting in the Des Moines field.
A little group of operators was unani-
nous in expressing the opinion that 1t
would be Impossible to control the coal
output Of Iowa in any other way than
by the purchase of nearly third of the
area of the state lying along the Des
Moines river from Van Buren, county to
the north line of Webster county, or by
securing absolute control of the rail-
roads tapping the coal fields. They say
the undertaking is too large for Morgan
or any one else, because of the thou
sands of acres of unworked coal lands in
the state.
The control of the anthracite coal
lands was cited, to which they replied
that the trust does not commence to
own the coal lands of Pennsylvania and
can never nope to. Its success in con-
trolling prices is attributed to the fact
that it controls the railroads tapping the
coal fields and the other transportation
facilities
