Gates and Allied interests May Con-

A New York dispatch concerning
j. c. Osgood, formerly of Ottumwa.
says:
1t has been learned definitely that
the Gates Blair-Mitchell proxies would
be swung to the Gould-H awley-Har
man interests at the annual election of
the Colorado Fuel and Iron company at
Denver on December 10, and unless j.
c. Osgood, who represents the present
management. has some unexpected
tricks up his sleeve, it seems probable
that the combined forces will defeat
him. AT the time when the original
meeting was to have been held, the
Gates people asserted that they held
proxies representing nearly 10000
shares, much more than a majority,
and their assertion was not success
fully controyerted. Since then large
amount of that stock is supposed to
have changed hands, but they still re-
tain large number of proxies, or
have received new ones, perhaps not
enough to control, but sufficient to
insure the success of the Gould-Haw-
ley-Harriman ticket.
The Gates Blair-Mitchell proxies are
of course, largely in excess of those
received by the Gould-Hawley-Harri
man intertses, but the ticket nominal
ed by the railroad interests will be
supported by the Gates force. 1t is
taken for granted that the Gates inter-
ests will have ample representation
on the ticket presented to the stock.
holders, but it can't be learned just
what agreement has been reached be-
tween the two interests.

Then another campaign comes on
apace and the battle of principles and
