where the benzine is treated with sui

the gasoline are half buried in the

the lghtest product of the oil and
is the most volatile, and escapes into
the elements if given an opportunity.
The lightest vapor which makes
the finest quality of gasoline, begins
to rise from the oil in the still, when
it is heated to $50 degrees, and as
the still gets hotter the vapor keeps
rising and when 800 degrees of heat
is reached the vapor makes kero-

Bittner Pledges Pennsylvania.
President Bittner of the Pittsburgh
field, congratulated the miners of this
! field on the settlement made, and
made the statement that the Pitts
burgh district at the next scale year
would stand for the run-of-mine settle
ment as the only proper settlement
for the mining of coal.
Will II. coIvIg speas.
Will H. Colvig was introduced as
one business man who the miners
considered their friend, and on many
occasions within the last year has
Iproven this fact. Will, in reply,
stated that many people in referring
to the strike always had in mind the
loss sustained by all concerned, but
with him it was different, as the fact
that it was his pleasure to get &C
quainted with the officials and many of
the men he felt that he was that much
better for the strike, as every time
he met a good man it gave him some
pleasure. He explained to the dele
gates the existence Of the Harmony
Committee, and the good it has done
and as the chairman of this commit
tee he wanted to congratulate the min
ers on the wonderful settlement after
a more wonderful struggle In the
name of Harmony Co ,nitt4 &c, he pass
ed around half Go-en boxes of
stogies which were enjoyed by the
delegates.
Jack Roam for Care. H
Chief Inspector of Mines Jack
Roam in addressing the delegates as.
sured them that the wonderful vic
tory gained by the scale committee
was not as yet realized by the miners,
but after the expiration of the present
scale year they would realize that the
mine run system Of mining meant to
them. He appealed to them to use
more care in mining, as that would re-
luce the number OF accidents. The

The wonderful discipline of this or
eanization and the wonderful faith
hey have in their officers was remark
able, as the clause was accepted as
read after considerable argument.
The division of the Al cents per ton
was another clause that caused con
siderable argument, and required the
best efforts of the scale committee to
explain, it is divided cents to the
machine operator who cuts the coal
and 80 cents to the miner who shoots
and loads the coal, since the entrance
