Considers One Agreement.

The PETERBOROUGH considers only one
agreement in existence b-tween their
men,. and that is included In the con-
tracts already signed by $500 employees
Mr.. Shon;s says that with the making
OF these contracts with their men, which
were signed without coe, cion or intim!-
dalton. the amalgama;ed union had no
part. that these contracts were the out
rome OF conferences bet ween officials OF
the company and the men.
The 1nterborough also contends that
only n small minority Of the men are
asking for the cancelling OF these con-
tracts. that two-thirds of their men are
satisfied. which proof IL evidenced by
their signatures to the contracts.
The employees Of the Interborough.
Mr.. Shonts declares. have formed IA
brotherhood OF their own. independent OF
the "outside" union. and have manifested
a desire 10 deal independently with the
company.
ON one point Mr.. Shonts was most en-
phatic last night. This covered his com
tention that the agreement made he
tween the New York Railways Company
and their employees had - legal or
moral bearing on any subsequent issue
bet ween the marlborough and its en-
ployees.
At "A conference August 80 between
officials of the road n representatives
of their men, he says proof that his
agreement was accepted by William u.
Fitzeerald as free of any obligation on
the part OF the PETERBOROUGH is evil
dcnced by Fitzgerald's own statement.

W (meaning the amalgamated
uuion are not bound 10y any agreement

Commission In the Peterborough Rapid

Theodore Shonts. president of the
marlborough Rapid Transit Company. In
a statement last mint at the Belmont,
which was the equivalent of an nlti-
matum. announced that the lnterborough
refused absolutely TO arbitrate the dues-
ton whether the contracts signed by
$500 of their men should be rcscinded.
Il might as we'll he asked whether ]
would consent to arlitrate h right ]
had I breathe" said Mr.. Shonts. with
emphasis. These contracts were signed
voluntarily by the men. II Is their un-
altcrable right to make n contract. and
We will not consider arbitration for an
instant. If tho Mayor or Mr.. Straus
of the Public Service Commission asks
the PETERBOROUGH to arhitrate his pucs-
tion of contract they will he told posi-
lively NO"
After Distressing the threatened strike
and answering any number of questions
quite candidly Mr.. Shonts gave out his
written statement. which briefly forms
the following conclusions
That the agreement mad with the
New York Railways Company does in ne
way AFFECT the PETERBOROUGH and because
of that there is no reason for referrini
II either to the Mayor or the Public
Service Commission.

STILL AWAIT
 OUTCOME OF
 BORDER CONFAB
(Continued from Page One)

ist. will be prolonged to the point of causing q break with the United States. A feeling of optimism as to the final result of the conference is based large ly upon this view and also upon the fact that General Scott has given no indication that he thought an agree ment could not be reached. Secretary Baker said the delay probably was due to the difficulty of reviewing inciden- tai points in finding a common ground on which the conferees could agree.
 Some of the additional troops order ed to the border yesterday were pre- stunned to be enroute tonight. The war department had received no direct re- ports from the various regular com manders although many routine mes sages dealing with the movements came up today. Mobilization of the Arizona, New Mexico and Texas na- tional guard troops was proceeding un- der state authority until the forces could be formally mustered into the federal service.
 Probably 5000 additional regulars for border work could be drawn from the coast artillery posts should the need arise. There were l3,000 men of the corps in continental United States at the time of the last report.

He expects to be here two or three days and is spending his entire time in careful study of everything pertaining to the equipment and operation.
 We have two Seagraves trucks like those of the Phoenix department" said Chief Ninlmick, and we consider them the very best type of fire fight ! ing apparatus. l have been told that Phoenix enjoys q record in the south west for quick response to alarms l We could make Phoenix hustle when | 1t comes to getting to fires, were it not for the fact that we have to go | through thickly congested district, and l have given orders that the big | trucks must rot be driven at n greater speed than thirty miles an | hour. That is quick enough, and means tha; apparatus is quickly on the ground
 'I have seen all the Phoenix sta = tions and looked over the apparatus carefully and I must say that il couldn't be better The men of the Various companies seem well drilled and find that perfect discipline obtains at all the stations
 The new fire alarm system aIs'
 interests me. for we in Douglas art

 ideas while here. l am glad that tn,
