STANDARD OIL WAGES.
Raise in Pay for Men and
Shorter Hours.

The increases in the wages of the en-
ployes of the Standard Oil Company in
New Jersey and West Virginia, previously
announced, were but forerunners of gem
eral raise in pay for the companys em-
ployes throughout the country, with the
exception of the mechanics, who have
chosen shorter hours in preference. The
increase for laborers is 10 per cent, and
the change in time for the mechanics
nine hours a day instead of ten. This
scale, which will go into force immedi-
ately, will affect about 5000 men.
]. H. Alexander, who has charge of the
New Jersey department of the Standard
Oil, Company, said yesterday afternoon of
the new wage rates:-
This increase in wages is purely vol
untary on the part of the company, and is
due to the general upward tendency of
wages throughout the country caused by
the present good times and prosperity.
The men were not in any way dlSSatlS-
fled with the old scale of wages. No man
! in our employ receives less than $l.5O
day no matter in how humble caDacity
he works. We have never in the history
of the company had arge strike. On
few occasions some ten or twelve men
have gone out, but this has always been
occasioned by some misunderstanding
with a foreman, and the matter been
quickly adjusted.
When asked what men and how many
the increase would apply to Mr.. AleXan-
der said that it would affect every man IN
the company's employ except clerks and
other salaried employees by that" he
said, 81 mean laborers, fremen, lighter
men, coopers, packers and all. OF course
it is impossible to estimate the exact num-
ber of them, but in round figures should
put it about %, 600.
When askedif more work would be ex-
peeted under the new conditions he said
not.

CHINESE eUIzzINc PARTY
A Tip For the Young Hostess Who Would
BE Up TO Date.

Op W A'asSs
The young hostess who would be
I'D to date should invite her friends
to a Chinese porch party. The decora-

must be answered by some name or
expression often heard in connection
with China and the fighting there.
The loud report Of cannon cracker
Is the signal for attention; and after
asking each question the hostess slow
" unties from 4 bunch, lights, and
tosSes out into the darkness Il little
one, the explosion Of which is a token
that time Is up and another query
about to be put.

can easily be found.

the cards are being looked over with
view to finding the most correct
answers, refreshments are served.
There must be tea, Of course, even
though it is iced; and there should be
something that can be eaten with chop
sticks.
Whether the prize is fan, or jar,
or bit of carved ivory, depends upon
the taste of the hostess-and also upon
