hero today to piotest against tho nboll
tlon of tho pneumatic mall tubes In this
city, that there was no foundation for
tho report that tho tubes would bo dis
continued. Mr. Iiuilcson said that ho had made no
decision on the matter and that his
course would be decided entirely by what
ho considered to be foi the best Interest
of the postal service in Philadelphia.
Members of tho Tube Commission wero
present at tho meeting botween tho I'ost
mnstor General and the Philadelphia
delegation.
"If tho tube commission recommends
tho abolition of the tubes or recommends
their continuance, I will either reject or
approve the recommendations only in
case I am decided that It would be for
tho best service of Philadelphia," said
Sir. Uurleson. "I have made no decision,
and tho report that tho tubo will be dis
continued has no basis In fact. It Is only
newspaper report."
The tilp to Washington was undertaken
an n result of a resolution passed at a
protest meeting1, held September 30 on the
iloor of tho Bouisc. The following com

OHIO IRONMASTER
WANTS THOMAS PLANT
Lively Meeting of Stockholders,
at Which He Raises Bid From
$2,250,000 to $2,750,000
ALLENTOWN, Pa., Oct. 27. There
never was such a llvclv meeting of stock
holders of the Thomas Iron Company as
that of today, to consider tho offer re
cently made for an option of $15 a share,
or $2,250,000 for the property. Two hun
dred of tho stockholders wero present
from Philadelphia, Easton, Bethlehem,
Allentown nnd other cities, nnd the barn
at Ilokendauqua was transformed Into a
dining hall for the luncheon, while tho
meeting was held In the employes' library.
Charles F. Chldsey, former Slayor ot
Kaston, was chosen chairman of the
stockholders' meeting.
There has been much talk that the man
who offered the $13 a share was Charles
SI. Schwab, but this was denied by both
stockholders close to the management of
tho Thomas Iron Company nnd also from
the offices of the Bethlehem Steel Com
pany. William Rice Taylor, a Philadelphia
stockholder, presented a statement show
ing that the shares are worth more than
$13, and he made an offer to take an
option at $30 a share. This offer was
backed by Frazlcr & Co., Philadelphia
bankers, who gave assurance that they
would dispose of the property for tho
highest price they could get, and divide
with the stockholders half and half all
they received more than $50 a share.
