Tub WORXtKOMnsr. On Saturday, a
committee ol worblngmen from tbe Parker'iK
banding dtelrlot, walled upon us as reprsT-1
Mutative of a meeting of the engineers,
pumper, drillers sod laboring men, beld In
that plaoe a few days since, wltb tbe re
quest that w announce a mans meeting of
warklagmeo to be beld at Oil City, Tues
day, Oct. IS; also, that tbe clalrra of tbe
workingmen be advooatrd through our cole
UBS.
Anything tbat will conduce to the benefit
of tbat class ol men we are willing lo do.
Tbere Is no leasou why the drillers and eo
glneers of tbe oil region, provided the thir
ty day movement Is a success and oil ad
vances to 95 per barrel, should not have
tbeir just claims allowed by a corresponding
fborease of wsgos. In tbls dlsirlot, tbe
movement appears to meet with general
favor aid undoubtedly a large delegation
will attend tbe Oil City mealing.
A a el sat not a more Intelligent lot of
men oan be formedln any other seotion
f country than tbe engineers and drillers o1
tbe oil region, nor Is tbere a harder worked
elate of men than tbey. It may seem to
outsiders ao easy task to sharpen a heavy
Iron bit or reamer over fire ol almost tbe
temperature ol 100 degrees Fahreobelt, or
to tura a temper screw wltb cable and
heavy set ol tools attaobed, It or 18 hours
out ol tbe twentyfour, but we can a sure
Ibum It Is lar from an easy task, and tbe
men earn all tbey get, and we certainly
think er entitled lo an iucreaae of pay,
provided tb producers movement now in
oprllun proves a success.
T Insure tb movement a success, tba
workingmen should enter Into it aa a unit,
lbetwia li will prove a failure. We heart
iy with theia success, and advise all wbo
cuu to sttt'iid the Oil City meeting.
