Special to the Indianapols Journal.
MUNCIE. Ind. Aug. 7-Siuce the meeting
of the executive committee of the Manu-
facturers' Gas Waste Association in this
city Tuesday night II has developed that
the oil operators of the gas belt Will oppose
the efforts of the manufacturers to stop the
pumping Of natural gas. Successful work
ing of the oil territory depends on the fail
ure Of the gas. Under the Indiana statutes
oil wells cannot be operated where there
is gas in the wells. and where the gas can
be utilized the oil cannot be obtained be-
cause the gas holds il back. 1t is generally
admitted that as gas has decreased In
pressure in a large area of the Indiana gas
belt oil has come in The theory Is that
the oil lies in strata beneath the gas, and
that so long as the reservoir of gas is there
the oil will be kept down
F. b. Ball. of the Ball Brothers fruit jar
factories of Muncie, says that when others
have agreed 10 do away with their pumping
stations Ball Brothers Will dismante their
station. which represents an investment Of
$4,000. The executive committee agreed
that the dismantling of all pumping sta
lions would result in the restoration of the
gas pressure Of five years ago. The COM
mittee believes that the pumping station
draws gas from the earth more rapidly
than IL is produced G.. X. Bell, OF Hartford
City. tells of a we'll in blackboard county

sidered worthless was only temporarily
