DISPATCH scout was informed that the
Executive Committee of the P. P. A.
would meet in Pittsburg in few days.
when they would issue call for meeting
of the delegates of all the local assemblies
throughout the oil country.

decided upon as the place to hold the gen.
eral assembly, as it is most centrally located.
The first important action to be taken by the
convention will be the filling of the vacancies
on the Executive Board. Another important
question which will claim their consideration
is the eligibility of I. W. Phillips as a member
of that august body.
The Independent producers of Kane City and
vicinity held another meeting Saturday night,
which was well attended. The object of the
meeting was to form themselves into q limited
partnership and build pipe line to the inde-

President of the meeting and A. Kirkwood,
Secretary. Jacob Nicely, John kirkwood and
Frank Beers were appointed committee to
ascertain the cost of building the line, and con-
fer with the independent retineries with a view
to selling them their oil.
