PITTSBURG, Pa, July 30.-In the
Graysville development on the Ohio
side, in Monroe county the Woods
field Oil Company has completed its
No on the Dougherty heirs farm and
has a % barrel producer from the Keen
err sand Shawmut Oil Company has
completed its No. on the Louis Lud-
ing farm and has duster in the Max

county, G. W. Decker has completed
his No. 2 on the Henry Dill farm and
has buster in the Big Injun. The To-
cation of this failure is on a direct line
between No. / on the same farm and
w. r. Galley & Company's No. / on the
Fred Spiry farm. The last named Is
the sensation of the field and is still
producing at the rate of ESQ barrels a
day. The No. 2 on the Henry Dill
farm coming in buster only goes to
show the unreliable nature of the Big

since it will make five barrel produc-

younger men, are understood to be anx-
ious to hold out for more favorable
terms. The controversy between the
members of the board, while elamly
conducted Ii is understood, was not
near an agreement when adjournment
was taken tonight The hope was
expressed by President Shaffer that the
members would have time to sleep over
the serious subject that they have been
called to decide and by morning they
would be in a better mood to consider
the matter and act wisely upon it.
II was impossible to gain the sight
est linking OF the nature of the PROPOSE
tons that have been made to the work.
ers. They have been SO closely locked
up in the minds of those interested that
the men are afraid to even speak of
strike matters. Inc determination of
the officials to keep silence pending a
final determination OF the struggle has
gone so far that none of the members
was found alone at any time after the
adjournment. They openly pronounce
the propositions thus far outline in the
press as guess work. and declare that
IT would be impossible for any one TO
give the true statement. ii the propo-
then see how far they depart from the
outline thus far given.
The Paramount Issue
of the strike was the unionizing of the
non-union mills. 1t is natural to sup
pose that the propositions submitted by
Mr. Morgan dealt with this issue. The
interests of the Amalgamated Associa-
ton are jealousy guarded by the officers
who are now endeayoring to wrestla
with the important problem before
them, If they become convinced that
the propositions of Mr.. Morgan contain
some of the elements Of subterfuge that
would eventually bring about the end
OF the influence of the association the
matter would be quickly settled by a
negative vote. On this account every
word of the document that has been
presented to the executive board is
carefully weighed before being acted
upon.
The feeling of the members of the
executive board who were seen tonight
were far from a disturbed state. The
MEMBERS were apparently enjoying
quiet hour and were not half SO dis
turbed as those interested in the stu
ton VINO were not In touch With the
events that were transpiring. II the
situation was regarded as critical, the
bearing of the men would probably
indicate it. peculiar feature of the
matter was the total absence of the OIL
iicials of the United States Steel Cor
poration from Pittsburg.
Wellsville, o., reports quiet day
with the strikers, who are awaiting the
news from Pittsburg. No more men
went to work in the mills to-day, and
the Amalgamated people say there will
be no more breaks in their ranks.
At McKeesport and Monessen the sit
uation is unchanged.

NEW YORK, July 30.-It was learn
ed here to-day, upon high authority,
that the action of the executive board
of the Amalgamated Association at
Pittsburg to-day, when it passes upon
the peace proposals agreed upon at the
conference here on Saturday, will be
decisive. There exists no arrangement
for further negotiations, and peace or
a continuance of the strike hinges upon
the vote. The statement that Var
ner Arms and a group of officials OF the
companies forming the United States
Steel Corporation were to go to Pitts
burg for further discussion with the
labor leaders was erroneous. The
agreement OF Saturday was complete
and it's force depends upon its ratifi-
cation by the Amalgamated Association
and the subsidiary companies of the
United States Steel Corporation. The
latter action is, however, mere for
mality. If the Amalgamated executive
board approves the basis Of settlement,
the strike will be over. II it disap-
proves, it will continue IN effect, and
in the same state that existed before
Messrs Shaffer and Williams met

REORGANIZATION of Bank by y. 4.
Morgan, Melted x30,ooo.o00 Profit.
NEW YORK, July 3o.-By a world
beating feat of financiering, the IL
stockholders in the reorganized First
National Bank have increased their
wealth by $30,500, 900. Rockefeller de-
sired to consolidate the bank with the
National City Bank and his. contest
with Morgan for control of the First
National has much to do with the lat
ters marvellous valuation.
At the old capitalization of $50o,oo0
the 5000 shares of the First National
were worth in the market $4,000
share. or $4,000, 900. Under the new
capitalization of $40 900. 900 the 100, 200
shares, by reason of the Rockefeller
desire for them, have jumped to woo
bid and $500 asked for each share, or
the 100 900 shares in the open market
are worth $70.000.000.
The total market value of the stock,
therefore, by the action of the directors
in increasing the capital stock was
raised 10000, 900 But the increase in
the capital stock is a techinal liability
and must be substraeted from the to-
tai increase Substract 50 800 900 from
$40 000. 900 and $50, 500.o 900 is left.
The control of the National Bank OF
the Republic by the First National
gives the latter deposits amounting to
$50 0O0, 900 and the carrying out OF
plans under way will increase the
amount to 100000, 900.
