Mr.. Scallon's Veto.
President William Scallon, of the
company, tonight rejected
the proposition made by Mr.. Heinze
for deed to thirty sixths of the Nip
per stock in controversy between the
Anaconda company and Heinze and
the Parrot company, 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
MacGinnis.
Mr.. Scallon characterized the propo-
sition of Mr.. Heinze as astounding and
ridiculous, and unworthy of considera-
ton. In a statement issued to the
press tonight Mr.. Scallon says these Of
fers may look well enough on the face,
but in reality they amount to refusal
to settle the MacGinnis cases. They
are a turning down of the Miners
union proposition because the condi-
ton of Mr.. Heinze's offers are so I'M
reasonable and exorbitant that they
are impossible of acceptance.
AS to the proposed arbitration, Mr..
Scallon says it is one not recognized
by law. 1t would not be and could
not be made binding on Mr.. Heinze,
and, unfortunately, would settle moth
ing, but would only lead to more liti-
CATION. After quoting the law of Mon

that persons capable of contracting
may submit to arbitration any contro-
versy which might be the subject of a
civil action between them. except a
