It Is true Tint the oil produclog io terrain
lie prostrate and paralyzed; that a (luuncial
craeh is imuiloent; that bankruptcy stares
, in -try in the lace, and that loss is Inevitable
to all la this frgtou. Directly or lidireotly
' Done can escape : All are Interested In the
oliuioi'S ol the questions How to avoid it?
' and What Is the remedy?
' :-""Tun muolt oil" on baud nnd '-pumplog
dully" is tbe Oause. Tbe cure must lie it)
producing less oil daily, and iu removing
the causes (bat led to tbls over-production.
Inasmuch as we linve too ;many pumping
wells now, to keep on iocreasiug tbe oumr
ber is an aot ol lolly. That Is the place
' Where sure and sharp remedy must be ap
plied. Let every drilling well not In tbe
sand stop dnlllog just where it is for six
1 monttia, and ooiy resume agalu by and with
tile ctinavnl ol tbe majority of tbe Produ
cxrs' Unioa. Thou iet tha pumping wells
nil be reduced to bead wells, and the time
ouob shall pump daily be an anged by tbe
xeoutive commlltee, based on calculation
tliat,wlil produce but 14.000 barrels dailj.
Then the labor ef tbls country could find
partial employment till the crisis Is past,
and the bread and butter brigade have at
Wit half rations. -'-.
The districts that have more or less salt
or frtsh water In their wells ooutd preserve
them uninjured.
By taf the largest mini tier of producers
bave but limited means. Tbis cooseivative
action will supply the means ol liviog,keep
property uninjured, and make us all better
contested because employed..
Those who have oil to sell, on band or to
.pump, should have a price set on it, aay ft
or 4 per barrel, at which they can soil and
for no less. One prioe lor all.
Tbe moment tbat the ."buyer", sees that
we bave an effeotivs orgtnlztlon tbat uan
..ffoNTitoL and will conrnoti production, go
a to furnish a fixed amount dally,' at a osi
taiu average prioe, tbe victory la woo. We
will make luoro money pumping by heads,
nd keeping tbe present number of wells
oabangedftthao we bave ever done.
But, "if wells are to be drilled at pleasure,
and two hundred or mere, as at Parker's,
Jell stick OJ just above tbe ssud to 1st loose
upon ug (just as Hie export trade closes) a
flood of erode oil, to put us where we were
when we (but down, for Ilia benefit uT a lew
greedy operaiois, then the producers of the
Oil Creek country can be cnnled out. '
