Dated this 26th day Of October.
Proposition Rejected
President William Scallon of the An
aconda company tonight rejected the
proposition made by +. Augustus
Heinze for a deed to five thirty sixths
OF the Nipper stock I'm controversy be
tween him and the Parrot and Anacon-
da companies in return for the sale Of
the stock Of 100 shares in the Boston &
Montana and 100 shares in the Parrot
company owned by John MacGinniss.
President Scallon characterized the
proposition Of Mr.. Heinze as astounding
and ridiculous and unworthy OF consid-
Grafton. In a sensational statement is
sued 70 the press tonight. Mr.. Scallon
says these offers may look innocent
enough on the face. but i'm reality they
amount to a refusal TO settle the Mac
Ginniss cases. They are a turning
down Of the miners union proposition
because the conditions Of Mr.. Heinze's
offers are so unreasonable and ex-
Iorbitant that they are impossible Of ac-
ceptance.
Supreme Court Decision.
The supreme court Of Montana. in
the recent Pennsylvania case decisions
has held in deciding in favor Of Mr.
Heinze that these underground cOntro-
versies between these parties involves
questions Of title to real estate and no,
merely to questions Of boundaries. and
then the title is one in fee. IL thus ap-
pears that Mr.. Heinze proposed a meth
Cd OF settlement which the law does
not recognize, and if the decision was
against him, he could snap his fingers
at the aTbitratO and the Amalgamated
company and keep right along.
The Amalgamated people are not in
disposed 70 settle these controversies
and any effective method Of doing Sc
would receive consideration: and
would suggest that the best way to set
tie any difficulty is for both parties tC
try to be fair If Mr.. Heinze would try
TO be fair. doubtless a reasonable set
Element would be reached.
