COLLECTION OF MONEY
FROM MINERS TO STOP
Mineral Miners of West to Get No
Aid in Indiana Owing to Attack
on John Mitchell.

Special TO the Indianapolis Journal.
TERRE HAUTE, Ind, Feb. 2f.-President
Hargrove, of the Indiana district of United
Mine Workers, will take measures to stop
the collection of money from the miners
for the striking mineral miners in the West.
He will do this because the official paper
of the Western Federation of Miners has
made a severe attack on John Mitchell. A
man named Shea, duly accredited as a
solicitor for the striking mineral miners,
came to Indiana recently and President
Hargrove countersgned his credentials.
Notwithstanding that the United Mine
Workers have a coal miners strike of their
own in the same section of the country
and also that the Western Federation is not
affiliated with the American Federation of
Labor of which the miners are members,
there was willingness on the part of the
Indiana men to give Shea assistance.
At a mass meeting at Linton II was de-
cided that each man should give fifty
cents a month. This would mean 81 800 a
month in the Linton field alone but Pres
ident Hargrove says he does not think the
money will be collected after he has put
the in possession of the information
that while the agent of the Western Fed
Grafton was here asking for money his Of
fetal organ was saying that John Mitchell
is dishOnorable man.

BAD WEATHER CAUSES
SLOW OIL PRODUCTION
Drop in Price Not Pleasing to the
Operators-Growth OF Activity
in Kentucky.
NEW WELLS LAST WEEK
special 70 the indianapolis Journal.

Special 10 the Indianapolis Journal
TOLEDO. o.. Feb 21.-The days OF in
teresting developments in the Trenton rock
fields of Ohio and Indiana at present are
far apart, and with the small number of
wells drilling, it is not surprising that the
competitions are far below the standard.
Some excellent wells have been completed
in the Indiana field of late, but the weather
has been so bad that little effort has been
made TO even line up other producers with
the good ones. This will not be the case
In a month or two and if the market does
not take too much of slump, the field Will
possibly witness one of the most active
campaigns for some time past The recent
slump In the market was not received
very logically by most of the operators, ana
in their opinion II should have gone up In
stead OF down. This may have little ef-
feet on operations in general, but as soon as
the weather conditions are favorable there
is no doubt but that development work
VIII be carried on with vengeance.
II Kansas does not become too potent
factor I'm the oil business there is no reason
why the market in the Trenton rock neld
should not hold up TO a fair figure. Ken
lucky Is coming up the line at slow pace,
but the runs are close to 1900 barrels a
day. Cumberland county is the main seat
OF action at present, and with barge
line under construction for the transporta-
ton OF the oil from that field to the Cum
berland Pipe Line Companys line. there
is some chance Of 1t being favorably men
toned during the summer. OF course
Wayne county is the main source Of sup
ply. with the Ragland field next, but not so
much interest is being conferred in these dis
tricts as in the Cumberland county field,
owing TO the newness of the latter. While
Cumberland county was credited with
producing well long before the drill had
been put to work in Wayne county, still
there has never been a market for the
product and little is known of the field.
The Wayne county field is known the coun-
try over. Two Toledo companies with a
combined capital of $4,000 are now build
the Cumberland river, and several large
Michigan, companies are arranging to put
down numerous wells in the same locality.
In the Trenton rock fields of Ohio and
Indiana the past week there were 153 wells
completed eighteen of them were dry, the
balance having initial production of
4,340 barrels. There Is a lull in operations
owing 10 the condition of the weather.
Hundreds Of wells that producing
abundance of salt water with the oil are
shut down, the lines being frozen up. But
be, and oil men claim that they get
ting a third less production during this
weather than they did before winter set in.
The wells OF Ohio during the past week,
with their initial production, were dis
tributed as follows:
