Soft Coal Control to Remain
IN Pittsburg.
lBy Teleeraph to the Tribune. ]


Pittsburg, Dec. 1.-THE mystery that
has engaged the Pittsburg stock market
for many months was cleared tonight
when it became known that the officers
and the directors CT the Pittsburg Coal
Company, a S64 100000 corporation. had
prepared a letter TO the stockholders.
asking them not to let go of their hold
ings at this time and to insure Pitts
burg control of the company by signing
an agreement which will vest the vot-
ing control in this city for four years
This action was taken after the Off
GERS discovered who was back of the
movement to wrest control of the COM
pany from Pittsrurg. Last June the
stock became active in the New York
market, large blocks going East This
was followed by activity in the Pitts
burg market. after period of inactivity
lasting four years. Every possible effort
was made by the management to dis
cover who was trying to buy control.
This met with failure until the officers
learned two weeks ago that the move
n.ent was backed by combination COM
Trising the Pennsylvania, the New York
Central, the Baltimore & Ohio and the
Western Maryland railroads. These roads
did not want the coal for freight, but
had determined 10 conserve the 193.309
acres of untouched coal land for future
requirements.
The agreement which the stockholders
will sign will be made known in detail
tomorrow, but it was affirmed tonight
that the voting trust would vest the
power in a committee for the next four
years. In the mean time some mill
ions of dollars have come 10 Pittsburg in

SOME RATTIER-

SOME RATTLER-"One of The Re
publican carriers while en- route to
Tempe yesterday morning found an
enormous RATHER in the center of the
road sorting out staples that he had
pulled from the fence posts for the
length of a mile. Fhe snake measured
seven feet long without the rattles,
which were forty-two in number, and
Of themselves were three feet in length.
Because of the great weight of the
rattles the snake was unable to reach
the staples on the top wire OF the
fence, but all of the staples on the
lower wires were removed. The snake
was unable to put up much of a fight
when found. the eXertion of his nights
toll being too much for him" The
above was handed in by new reporter
and viii probably do for an amateur
effort. Had he been an experienced
liar he could have added that the
staples were drawn from cement posts
and the wire coiled up. rolled to town

THE MENOAC|0US WAGS
AGAIN EXPOSED
A LETTER RECEIVED FROM MR..
GREEN
On Whose "lnterview" Libelous Story
Was Printed.

The following correspondence ex-
poses again the innate dishonesty of
the Arizona Gazette, its readiness at
all times either to manufacture UNI
truths or to pervert the truth.
In pursuance of its rabid campaign
against the Santa Fe system, which
refuses tc patroniZe the Gazette,
news story was printed in its columns
night before last based upon an al
legged interview with Fred l.. Green,
stranger who had just arrived in the
city. Mr. Green was made to say that
trainmen on the Santa F'e had tried to
prevent his coming to Phoenix by ex-
aggerated stories of climate and social
conditions here.
The Gazette then added the libelous
statement that the Santa Fe had is
sued orders to its trainmen to boycott
this valley.
The following letter from Mr.. Green
yesterday illustrates the reliability Of
Gazette interviews:
Phoenix, Ariz., July 2, 1909.
Mr. w s Goldsworthy. General Agent
Santa Fe Railroad, Phoenix. AriZ.:
Dear Sir:-Referring to an Interview
with me appearing in last evenings
Gazette under the caption of KNOCK
ing Phoenix and Salt River Valley"
please be advised that l have but the
highest praise for the courteous treat
ment accorded myself and sister at
the hands of your trainmen and fur
Their understood their entertaining con-
versation and anecdotes with reference
to the heat in the valley to be for my
entertainment, rather than for the re-
liableness Of same, considering 1t all
a Josh" and so informed the Gazette
reporter at the time of the interview.
Statements made by others to me
should at no time be used to make
capital against your line and l regret
that anything l may have said has
been used disparagingly against the
Santa Fe.
CSigned) FRED L. GREEN.
The following telegram from General
Freight and Passenger Agent Hastings
received by Mr.. Goldsworthy yesterday
disposes of the prepOsterous statement
that the Santa Fe has ordered a boy
colt Of this valley. which it is spending
large sums Of money every year to ad-
vertise:
1.-The Gazette statement that orders
were issued years ago to Santa Fe
trainment to boycott the Salt river
valley, or that such orders were ever
issued or are still in force, is absolutely
false. l believe the work done and the
money spent by the Santa Fe in boost
ing3hoenix and the Salt river valley
are so well known by all good citizens
Of the valley that the Gazette's state
ment was not believed. but l can not
permit such a malicious falsehood to
go unchallenged.

LABOR TROUBLES OF
LAUNDRY OPERATIVES
The Arizona and Troy laundries Tenn
porarily Initiated by a Walk Out.

\ labor movement that has been
quietly developing in Phoenix for some
time, came to head Thursday when
about thirty-fiVe girls, most of them
Mexicans who could not talk English,
walked out of the Troy and Arizona
laundries. demanding a raise in the
wage scale of from 1212 to Is cents
per hour. 1t was quite inconvenient
for the employers to treat with them
as they were not on speaking terms in
the matter of language and had to de-
pend upon those of the dissatisfied
whose agitation had brought about
the trouble and who also assumed~to
be the Spokesman for their associates.
The laundry arrangements contend
that they cannot afford to further
raise the scale which is now 21s cents
higher than the Tucson scale, though
some concessions were made in hours
of labor, etc The American girls and
the male employees of the laundries.
most of them remained at work and
yesterday the arrangements succeeded
in securing added help even though
unskilled that seems quite competent.
The experiment of putting boys on the
manages also lIbNtu SATISFACTORILY
Mr. Noll of the Arizona laundry
said that their service had been Grip
pied somewhat for this week but ev
erything will be running smoothly in a
day or two. He said he had finished
all his agency stuff and all his Pull
man and hotel work and practically
all his bundle work except the last lot
of hand starched ladies' wear
Mr. Noll last evening gave out the
following as a statement of the situa-
ton:
The striking Mexican girls are
blindly following one or two agitators
They do not understand English and
consequently one cannot reason with
them Our time book shows that they
have been averaging about so hours
per week. That will now be cut to As
hours. Their wages will be just the
same and is an increase of 20 per cent
over what they got a year ago and
more than is paid in Tucson. Green
hands get 1919 cents per hour and are
advanced as soon as they earn more.
They now want more for the 4S hours
than they have been getting for the
former average of so to "a hours. The
demand is unreasonable and can not
be granted. We have yesterday filled
about ten places and have hired five
more for Monday and will continue to
fill all places. All old empoyes will
be reinstated if they come no later
than Monday, after that no places will
be kept. We are putting boys on the
mangle and find them satisfactory. We
do not think there will be any delay in
our service after this week
