Producers' fflecttn.
At a large and unanimous meeting held
at tbe office or Phillip A Boyle, Saturday
evening, March 9tb, 1872, in pursuance ot
a cail from Irora tbe Central Committee or
the Producers' Protective Asaoeiatioo, the
meeting was calld to order by Dr. M. C.
Egbert, aod oo motion, Capt. F. J. Keller
wes elected President, Col. J. A. Vera
Vice President, aod W. H. Fayoe Secre
tary. Upon taking tbo obalr, Capt. Keller made
a raw explanatory remark, aod called upon
Or. Egbert to more fully explain tbe objesia
or tbe meeting.
Dr. Egbert explained tbat the meeting
was for tbo purpoie or appointing a sub
committee to attend tbe meeting le be held
atTlluiTllle this (Monday) evealng, aod
to traaiaot such other businet a may be
brought before tbo meeting legarding tbe
Protective Asaoeiatioo.
Mr. J. M. Dickey explained tbat the
meeting wa called for tbe purpose of carry
ing out tho plan adopted at the Oil City
mass meeting In relation to the proposed
Protective Oaion, and for tbe purpose of
eleotiog good and suitable delegate to act
for tbo Eleventh Diitriet at th Titusvill
meeting. Tbat In th present emergency th
best men should be chosen, and It becomes
this meeting In good faith to back up the
meeting at Oil City to tbo ntmost extent
Col. Vera remarked lb delegate held
tbe same relative position to us as did tbe
signer of tbe Declaration or Independence.
Two weeks or war without bloodshed bed
witnessed tbe adoption of article of agree
ment, and tbe meetiog al Titusvill wa
for tte purpot of adopting a sonstltutien
and declaration of Independence for the
United States ol Olldom. A series ol reso
lutions had been paased at Oil City for th
formation of a protective association against
th So. Im. Co., aod the delegates elected
to-night were to represent this district at
th Titutvllle mooting to perfect tbat union,
tbo voting for stockholders to bo done after
wards.
Dr. Egbert thought that lie eoamitt-e
appointed to-night was only a tempo
rary eoe. That as soon as tbe requisite
amount ( clock was lakeu to th ameuot of
$1,000,000, each stockholder would be en
titled to vote, aod tbo affairs of lb union
would then be controlled by a board of
directors, for the election of which tbe com
mittee cheats to-night was to aet.
Col. Vera explained at large tbe duties
ef id committee and the plan proposed at
tbe mass meeting to be carried out by th
loyal men of tbe oil region.
Mr. C. N. Payoe gave hi view of th
Protective Association, and moved tbat the
article adopted al lb Oil City meetiog be
read and adopted or rejected by the meet
iog. Metioo carried.
Her followed tho reading off the article
of association or tbo Producers' Protective
Union by J. M. Dlokoy.
Moved and seconded that tbey bo adopted
by Ibis meeting, unanimously carried,
Mr. Dickey read an actlole from a Titus-
vllle paper xplaialag tho doty or th
eommltloer .,
Dr. Egbert said thaV-this meetlusj. wss
celled for tbe purpose of representing Poire
Isom Csotrs snd vicinity at tbo Tilusville
meeting, not only, by tbe election of a com
mittee, bwt that it wa every maa't dnty to
report at that meeting aod do all tbey can
to carry out tbo spirit of said resolutions
and aid la lb defeat of tbo rotten monopoly
tbat now threatened to oagulpb tbo oil
region In common ruin.
Capt Keffor spoke at esmo length on-the
duty of tbo committee.
Mr. Psyns understood tbo Tilnsvlilo
meeting to bo fur the purpose of perfoetiag
tbo plan in full, and Ibsl wo should select
our beit men and Instruct them to represent
tbe ell lotereat of thl leotioa to tbo beat
of tblr ability.
Capt. Keffsr ooneared la Mr. Payas's re
marks. This was no trifling matter and upea
t depended lb very life blood of tbo reglou
aod It future prosperity Tbo So. Imp.
Co. bsd millions ol money to Ight us with,
and would undoubtedly spend It freely, sod
wo must seek to defeat their- deeply laid
plan.
Df. Egbert said committee- mnstHot ex
pect to finish their labors in one night, bat
that It might toko weeks ol labor to -earryr
but bud perfect tb plan or tho association.
Mr. Dlekey moved tbat a 'committee ofi
Ave be chosen to represent this district at the
Tltuvlllometlg. Carried
Capt Koffer was nominated and declined
giving good touoM therefor.
Meosr. J-M Dicker, Jo S MeCray, J A
Vers C Nv Payae aod J W Irwin ware
unanimously chosen as sucb committee.
Moved tkst Capt Keffer instruct commit
tee as to their duties. Cap t K was of tbe
opinion tbat committee did not need any
ioatruotloo, Init tbat they should have ere
dent la Is sUttig tbat tbey bad been duly
electeds delegates to repisicot tbo Eleventh
Dlsttct.
Mr Dleky toggoiUd lbtt tb names ot
ssld eemroltleee'heeenl to EG Patterson,
president of tbe Petroleum Producers' Aato
elation, be having tb matter ol entertslo-
menlof tbe delegate while In Tilusville tn
oand.
Moved tbst the Secretary be authorised to
end names ol committee to Mr.' Patterson.
Carried.
Mr. Payne moved tbat committee be In.
elroeied to aot for thia meetiog, and tit
aaid meeting pledge itself to endorse and
sustain tbe action of committee.'
Alter remarks by varioua parlies tte mo
tion wss cart I' d.
Dr Egbert thought tbe only Instruction
committee. needed waa to keep perfectly to-
ber and atlead strictly to business. Laugh
ter. Mr Dickey gave bis views in regard to
producers taking stock In tbe protective as'
societiou; did net think tbere was any uan
ger, ss asms parties predicted, of its Incom
ing auotber monopoly, out was oi me upiu
ion tbat ibe stock would psy a good rate ot
interest to all taking It Believed tbat al1
producers should tak dock aod then it we'd
be (Irmly established, aod should It prove e
success in the lutara we would be a more
oiled oeosle. Heretofore every man had1
been (or making mooey, aod did not recog
nize each other only In a social er mora!
light Io nnioo there is strength, and thl,
would tend to mske us financially a united
people and able to witbstsnd any and al1
monopolies tbst msy be brought to bear
against us.
Mr. C. N. Psyoc coincided with Mr. Dick
ey, and alluded to tbe course taken by cer
tain Pittsburgh piper toward tb people
of thl region a being unjust in tb extreme)
and laid they sbauld bav aent intelligent
men to report aod not common drunkards.
Dr. Egbert looked upon tbe passing sod
esrryiog out of these resolution a of as
much importance. ss tbe Declaration of In
dependence was to tbe old thirteen States,
and thought it wa tb duty of every mac
to take dock in tke Association, If only fur
tb purpose ot showing tbelr good will.
Explained In regard to tbe Association, sod
that all taking stock would be amply sea
cured; and Should it prove a success, io oae
year's time every man boldUiz certificates
of slock would be proud to have it kuown
that he belonged to the Association.
Col. Vera said we ara not don lighting
tbe monopoly. They may attempt a Hank
movement If P. U. Wataho, or ite inein.
ocra ol toe to. imp. uo. want to make moo.
ey out of the oil business let them d.i it la

Instead of silting io their richly fnrr ished
offices in New York or elsewhere, end wr
ing io manipulate ana steel ?A,00o,0u9 tr
snnum from our pockets, c.iuih out i,k
msn, wikde through 14m mud and dirt ai d
slimb these bills and go in from tb derrielcN
floor to msko money a we have dune. It'
not, they ar set of cut throats and thieve
Dr. Egbert hoped no man would for a
moment think the So. Im. Cu. was whipped.
Said tbat so far they had dene nothing but
wait and watch until the excitement and
indignation bad died out, aod then come io
and make a flank movement One of tbelr
plans would probably be to offer a large
advance on oil for the purpose or buying up
the producer. If tbey should loss a million
of dollars it would be done rather than lose
tbe game tbey were playing lor, aod ho did
aot doubt what tbey represented $250.000,.
00 ol capital, aed wsttld spend a portion
of It to carry out tbalr villainous ends.
961 Vera said lbs monopoly had boasted
tbey could buy up tbe Legislature and knew
aotly tke quotations lor regular, apot, 8.
l. ait year, ana coma get legislation lo-sutt
them selves. He thousht tbev would nat
$10 per barrel lor oil In order to get tbe
dead woodr on tb producer.
Dr Egbert proceeded to "(how op" Boat
wick, oue or th conspirators, aod hoped
the men of this rasioo would not lose their
dignity by making term with these outlaws
Tb region oan get along without tbem. We
have refineries enough in tbe region to r
flne all tke oil under tbe oew order of things
and plenty of railroads ss soon ss tbey found
wo were io earnest, would willingly pledge
inemsetves to transport our oil to tbe sea
board. We have no use for th Pittsburg: b
or Cisvelaad reflners. and will not solicit ar
negotiate any terma whatever witb them.
Mr. JJlcksv was not Io favor ot msklsc
terms with neither railroads or refiners. Lei
tbem msko terms witb us. H believed In
tb motto "Million for defense, bat not
one barrel of oil for thieve." For hi part
b would not sell ona bsrrel or even one
pint of oil to the rssesls and thieves at
any prios whatever.
Br. Egbert ssld althongh ha wss not a
producer bat a shipper ol oil, bo could chip
and ll all th oil bo bought to other par
ti asd maks money at it.
Mr.' Irwin thought tho Protective Asso
ciation waa something to be proud of. If it
proved a aueoess we bsd succeeded in astab-
liahing a financial psriod In ths- history or
the country, and bad immortalized ourselves
by so doing.
After a few more' desultory remarks ths
msetlng adjourned (object to th call of tke
committee.
