Lawson Comes Back at Heinze.
President Edward Long of the Butte
Miners union, last night received from
Thomas Lawson, the Boston copper
king and millionaire stock broker, a
rejoinder to the attack of F. Angus
tus Heinze, who termed the Bostonian
when he offered to arbitrate the differ
ence between what Heinze asked for
his holdings and what he (LaWson)
wanted to give for them.
Lawson declared he would abide by
the decision Of the arbitration board
in the controversy, buying Heinze at
the figure named and thus ending the
war between the big copper interests.
Lawson would make gift to the
miners union of $250,0O0, provided
they induced Heinze to arbitrate the
issues. =
In his statemen Lawson now offers
the union $4,000 to induce Heinze to
come to. Boston and use the language
he used in Butte. His message con-
sisted of about $500 words and cost
him over $500. @>&. i

turbed condition of affairs in the Butte

pended solely upon three things to main
tain his existence in Butte: First, abso-
lutte control of corrupt judges; second
abmility to rob connecting and other PEG.
