The Free Pipe BUI.
A Fret Pipe Bill bat paued the Leglela-
tnre. bat from an elimination of the mea
sure w believe It to be tread. It la en
cumbered with the following proviso, wbick
tbe Pittsburgh MaUaaye wac lacked to It
by Mr. McJunkee member of Assembly
from this county:
"Provided, That no line of pipe shell be
laid under authority ot tbls aet within five
miles ef tbe State line for the purpose of
carrying oil ont of the Stale, and that tbe
owners, producers and shippers of all oil In
tended tor Baltimore, Philadelphia and New
Tort, usiog pipe laid under tbls set, shall
give preference to Hoes of rosd traveling
tbe greatest distance in this Stale at tbe
same rates of transportation."
It looks to os as though this so tailed
free Pips BUI bsd been passed more in tbe
Interest of the Pennsylvania Railroad than
of tbe oil producers, as every one knows
that line Is tbe longest one In the State, and
consequently the name might as well have
teen Inserted. Mr. MoJ. mey be all right
oa tbs subject, but there Is something rotten
bout the bill, "which tbe same" smells
exceedingly strong. What we wsnt is a
Free Pipe Bill about as stated below:
To the Honorable the Senate and House of
Kepretenlaiwes t venerai Assemaig met:
Tbe undersigned, citizens ot Pennsylvania,
would respectfully demand that tbe reetrte
tions and conditions attached to tbe Free
Pi tie Bill be repented.
Nothing short of tbls action will be satis
factory. We want a Free Pipe Bill la fact
as well as in name.
Give us a free pipe bill but do not insult
us by palming off patebed up bill which
shows soapUolty with the enemy on the
face of It. Can Mr. McJnnkio explain tbe
whys and wherefores tbereoff A good many
people hereabouts would like to know.

The

Difficulty io tbe Oil Region," fte. Won
der If the Commercial editor is green enough
for a moment to think that tbe people of the
oil regions are Incapable of seeing through
bis labored efforts to plaster np tbe South
Improvement Co., and make bis resders
believe that all Is quiet la tbe oil region,
and the producers have given themselves
up, body and soul, to tbe monopoly. Such
Is not tbe ease. Tbe difficulty Is not settled,
oor will It be, until tbe vast scheme of plun
der le crushed out, aod Its Instigators,
agents, subsidized newspapers, rotten rail
road corporations, and ring of outlaws are
made to know tbey oennot control tbe free
men of the oil region of Pennsylvania. Tbe
Commercial is a good newspaper, and bss
always been popular in this region but its
recent course is fast making enemies for II
hereabouts, which faot it will discover ere
long. Until recently we bad always given
the Pittsburgh papers the credit of being
untrammelled and outspoken on every sub
ject; bat their action on tbe monopoly ques
tion shows plainly ibst tbey are in tbe In
terest of the So. Im. Co. Let tbem con
tinue en la tbe same way. We shall see
who will be the winners In tbe game

The working elassesju the oil regions are
highly iodignant at tbe Southern Improve

been furnished constant and profitable em
ployment by tbe oil producers for years.
Having bear! that a set or capital lets, idlers
and political tricksters have attempted to
Mb tbem ad the producers of their profits,
tbeir iodlgnatloa has been fully aroused and
a determination manifested to defend tbeir
own rights and those of their employers at
all hazards. If it not strange such a feeling
should exist Laborers and producers came
into tbls region, labored day and night, ex
pended their money to tbe Itst dollar and
made operating for oil a profitable business.
To see vile speculators wbo have never
Invested a dollar or spent a day's labor la
tbe business forming combinations to rob
them or tbe profits or tbeir bard earned fields
of labor Is enough lo arouse their indig
nation and cans them to threaten eternal
vengeoce upon the beads of those wbo
have attempted to oppress tbem. Railroad
