The Oil City Derrick of this morning
contains a very sensible article on tbe ques
tion "Can Producers' and Reftoers Com
bine!" The Derrick it rlgbl oa the subject.
We do not believe in a coalition of refiners
and producers. Tbe producers know, or
ought to know, that from the first of this
"little onpleasantoess" Ibe r liners bave
been opposed to Ibera. It is well known
that Ibe outside reflners, those oi Cleveland
Piltsbnrgh, Philadelphia, and a vry few
from tho oil region proper, formed tbeSouib
Improvement Company, which but fur the
spontana:us uprisluft ol tbe entire people ot
this-region, would, have rofniuti la tbe
overwhelming of tbe oil bBsiners by one of
Ibe most villainous conspiracies te rob ever
attempted to be perpetrated upon any peo
ple. Tbe same parties form tbe Refiner'
Combination, and tbe same men are now in
council with a committee of producers at
Titusvilla, We warn the producers Io be
ware of these men.. Their ultimate inlen
lion Is to gala eotlre ooolrol of tbe oil busi
ness. Tbe only true solution ol tbe ques
tion Is lor Ibe producers 10 build reBueries
right here In the region and refine their
own oil. bea ilils is done it will be cood
bye" to the Combination. May Ibe lime
come seon.
k y
Aiisi'itu Krxuiiis. Many absurd rumors
regarding propositions advanced by refiners
Io form a coailation with the producers are
in circulation. Oae gentleman believing
wbat be stated, said yesterday that tbe re
flners were willing to lake 10.000 barrels a
day of the producers at 5,00 per barrol.
This ridiculous statement of course ealoed
no credence. If the refleers are so almighty
anxious to serve their IriecUs (?) the pro
ducers, why don't tbey come out and buy
oil at a price tommeosureta with that ol
reflneJf The producers will bave to work
out their own salvation in Ibe end, and the
sooner Ibey give ugf tbe iosane Idea ot re
ceiviBg assistance Irom Ibe refiners if Ibey
ever entertained such an one the better it
will be for all parlies. f Derrick.
