This Is the general plan of the Pure Oil
company, at the head of which is Lewis
Emery, Jr., of Bradford and Thomas H.
Phillips Of New Castle, which was formed
about nine years ago.
The old field insurgents declare that the
Standard could not raise the price of
crude In the high-grade field to a fictitious
figure-$3 or $4after the producers had
their millions invested and crush them.
To fortify themselves against this mode
of attack the officials of the High Grade
OIL Refining company propose to obtain
iron-clad contracts for period of 10
or 10 years at 81 per barrel, subject to
an increase by action of the directors
should the actual value of high grade
oil go above that figure. Should the
Standard Oil company control 10 per cent
of the production and the producers 80 per
cent the foes of the Standard believe
they could hold out against the Standard s
efforts to crush them.
The uprising, which finds expression in
the company of producers to refine their
own oil, is the result of growing indig-
nation against the arbitrary action of
the Standard In cutting the price Of Penn
sylvania oil from $1.7S to $1.30 in one
year.
The producers declare there is profit of
from 40 to 60 per cent in refining oil at
SITS a barrel. and that the Standard is
arbitrarily taking the additional Is per
cent which is saved in the price of crude.
taking 1t out of the pockets of the pro-
ducers. They have figured out that re-
filming profits with the oil at $3.50 a
barrel is near 75 per cent. They propose
to give the profits to the producer In the
price paid for crude and to cut down pipe
line and refinery margins.
1t Is semi-officially stated that the new
producers movement has already result
ed in negotiations for the merging of in
dependent refineries and pipe line COM
panies. the Valvoline Oil company with re-
f1neries at Butler, Warren, Pa, and Edge
water, N. j.; the Pure OIL company with
pipe lines all over this section In the name
of the Producers and Refineries' OIL COM
pany, and large reflneries at Bradford,
and at least a dozen other ref1neries. OPP
lions have been taken on q few small re-
flneries.
In some quarters 1t Is said that the Pure
OIL company is in sympathy with the
movement The claim Is made that a
large share of the stock of the Pure Oil
company has been taken up by the Stand
ard, and that there may be trouble for
the company when the period of trustees
ship expires In a year or two.
Leaders in the struggle with the Stand
ard are Attorney A. M. Christie and N

Uprising Is Result of Growing Indig-

of Standard in Cutting Price
in Pennsylvania

Butler, Pa, August 21.-(Specia1)-A gil
gantic struggle between the oil pro-
ducers in the Pennsylvania fields repre-
senting daily production of 10000 barrels
Of high-grade crude oil, and the Stand
ard Oil company was foreshadowed when
producers from Washington, Allegheny,
Butler, Clarion, Venango, Armstrong,
Warren, Forest and Mexican counties
launched the High Grade Oil Refiners
company as sequel of the movement
which has as it's slogan, Producers refine
their own OIL
Strongly organized and encouraged by
ready support the leaders of the move
ment to tie up production in the high
grade fields, adopted a plan of organiza-
ton at a meeting held In Butler. Di-
Tectors will be chosen at meeting to
be held in the company's offices in Pitts
burg on August %. At once, after that
meeting, a corps of agents will sweep
over the oil fields, tie up production and
receive subscriptions to the common and
preferred stock.
The company is capitalized at $4,000,
00o OF this $4,000 is preferred and s.
COZ, 900 common stock. The company pro-
poses to buy refineries and pipe lines of
Independent companies If they will sell,
and If not then erect one or more refin-
cries and lay pipe lines.
The company proposes to pay 81 barrel
for OIL OF this cash Is to be paid to
the amount of the market price as fixed
BY the National Transit company with IL
cents added as a premium. The balance
Of the 81 a barrel, or more, shall be paid
In common stock. Each producer shall
receive four shares g40O in common
stock for each barrel Of daily production
contracted for.
To arm themselves against attack by
the Standard the promoters provide that
the stockholders shall pool their stock
and vest the voting power in five trustees,
TO be elected for a period of at least 10
years. With this provision 1t will be
Impossible for the Standard to control
the concern by buying a majority OF the
stock and the only way the company could
be attacked is by bribing the trustees.

WINDOWS OF THE SOUL
Saved in Many Instances by Efectro-Radio
Magnetic Force Solenoid
The Electro Radio Institute Add To It's the Only
Instrument Capable of Removing Particles or Iron
From the Human Body Without an Operation

Electro-Radio Magnetic Force Solenoid
is the latest and one Of the most wonder
full Inventions After years of patient,
painstaking experiments 1t was but re-
Gently that we felt that the Soleniod
could not be improved upon further.
1t has been improved by the Electro
Radio Institute and has brought relief
from suffering to score of patients, hap
pness to as many sadden homes.
The Magnetic Force Solenoid is an ap-
paratus that accumulates the magnetic
lines of force. which thus, in unlimited
quantities, are at the command of the OPP
erator. BY its means any piece of steel
or iron, however large or small, may be
quickly and painlessly drawn to the sur
face of the human body. The powerful
forces Of Solenoid reach the Embedded
particle and withdraws 1t from the anat-
omy with the ease and facility that
seamStress removes a basting thread
The patient is first placed upon the
stand of the Diagraphoscope, the radio
forces are brought to bear and instantly
every muscle, joint and organ is made
visible to the naked eye. The imbedded
particle of iron or steel is Immediately
seen and Its exact location ascertained.
This Is the same method In which the
wonderful and always truthful diagnosis
are obtained. and no disease can be mis-
taken for another when all functions of
the body come under the actual sight of
the specialist.
The location of the steel or iron particle
once discovered, the Magnetic Force Sole
mold is brought to bear and instantly
like a tiny fish rises to the surface of the
water for a breath of air, 1t slips through
the tissues and muscle until the outer skin
is reached, when 1t may be removed with
the fingers.
Hundreds of machnists, electricians
and factory workers of both sexes have
lost their sight through operations by the
most noted surgeons for the removal of
particles of steel or iron which have
accidentally been driven into the eye. In
many, many cases an operation on the In
5ured optic results in the loss OF the other

Mobile, Ala, August 1s. 1910.

Mobile Ala, August 16. 1910.
Editor Daily Item:
The Register, In it's editorial this morn
ing entirely ignores the fact that Mobiles
proportion of the aggregate import and
export business of Mobile and New Orr
leans during the past nine years has
enormously increased while New Orleans,
decreased, and also the further fact that
during the past three years the relative
proportion of Mobile has not decreased.
Inasmuch as the Registers entire con-
tention is an attempt to show that the
export and import business now being
transacted through the port of Mobile
has suffered in comparison with other
gulf ports, especially New Orleans by
reason of the rules Of the Mobile and
Ohio Railroad company. governing their
export and import traffic, this omission
today is in effect continuance of what
we believe to be the unfair statements
which have been made in connection with
this case. E. L. RUSSELL.

tanned in the school census conducted un-
der the auspices of County superintendent
of Education H. c. Persons, the enumer-
ators reporting $500 children of school age
in Admission and about 5000 in the county.

spective of suburbs, is thought to be In
the neighborhood of $3.50, the census of
1900 having credited Admission with $685.
shus showing an increase of over 60O0
Judging from this, 1t is believed that
the government figures will give Annis-
ton at least 1900, which, including the
suburbs. will probably exceed 10000. Con-
sidered that the census was taken when
the city had been injured to some extent
by the recent panic, this would be re-
garded as very favorable showing.
