sons.
The Bronx Borough District Council OF the United
Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners OF America
January 30 last informed the employing car
penters of The Bronx that It would enforce the
following demands and after April 1: Men to be
paidS weekly, and before noon Saturday, so as
TO obviete the necessity of the men consuming any
time in securing their pay; Saturday afternoons in
summer months to be half holidays: rate of wages.

At special meeting of the carpenters, held yes
terday afternoon, in Carpenters Hall, Washing
ton-ave. and One -hundred-and- seventy y-sixth-st.
there was large representation. T. ]. Duffy. the
president of the council presided. Reports showed
that seventy-fve Of the one hundred employing
carpenter contractors had agreed the scale.
OF the twenty-five remaining majority said
TO favor the scale. Fifteen large contractors with
contracts about to be awarded to them have also
agreed to the new rate of wages.
President Duffy appointed twelve special business
agents to assist General Agent Charles Bauscher
IN the enforcement of the scale to-day. They will
visit every part OF The Bronx, and IL the men are
working under the scale they will be called out

affiliated trades will also be called upon to drop

THE WEEK IN PETROLEUM.

no features. The demand for both the refined
and crude article continued good and prices were
firm at week before lasts closing quotations. New
production shows material increase notwith-
standing the fact that operators making every
erort to discover new producing territory. The
operations in the fields have been more active dur
ing the last fortnight, but, aside from the two or
three strikes that have been made, the develop
ments Of the fortnight have not been such as TO
excite the trade to any considerable extent. The
feature OF the present week in this respect is the
new strike on the L. Yeager farm. in Greene Coun-
ty. W. Va, where the South Pennsylvania OIL
Company has drilled test well, which produced
10 barrels an hour at the start. Since then the
we'll has been drilled deeper and the production
creased to l5 barrels hour, rate Of 800
barrels a day. The opinion is that pool of some
magnitude will develop. In Bristc-ia, in the same
county, the same company drilled its second test

for the first twentyfour hours showing 165 barrels
The company has another well in the northeast
