Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1890-12-31

AT no time since the Inauguration of the
independent movement have the producers
of Pittsburg and vicinity been so active
as yesterday. Mysterious groups were
observed gathered at the Oil Ex-
change, in the hotel corridors and
in the offices of different prominent
producers. The air seemed permeated with
mystery. The indications led the reporter
to believe there was something important on
the tapis; and investigation revealed the
fact that the local assembly of the 2. P. A.
of Pittsburg was to convene. A number
of the prominent lights OF the assembly
were busily engaged all the afternoon in
taking the applications of new producers
who were anxious to join in the Independent
movement. The meeting it is understood. was
represented by majority of the heaviest
operators in this district The situation, OF
course, was discussed in all its phases, and the
general verdict of the combination, of the pro-
duclng interests, predoIuinated. One OF the
more conservative members of the organiZa-
tion said to THE DISPATCH reporter:
I'VE have nothing now to give for
publications; we have arrived at no
definite conclusion and practically we are
in our infancy. Our first step is TO re-
organize every local assembly of the T. +. A.
that ever existed and induce all independent
oath. When the great oil belts of Pennsylvania,
West Virginia and Ohio have been consolidated
by this union, then We Will take the hrst
step toward devising. means to protect
happy smile by each producer
as they filed out of their place of meeting last
night the reporter was led to believe that their
meeting had been harmonious, and tnat the
fraternal feeling would soon be spread broad
cast throughout the oleaginous world. The
local assembly at Butler Will meet tomorrow
night while during the week the assemblies OF
other sections will also convene
