The coffee habit grows on one, and
when coffee is used as II stimu.ant
there is reaction which means de-

Standard Oil Pays Less Than
Living Wage; u. S. Investigators
Report On Bayonne Strike

Chicago.-"The Standard Oil Com
pany of New Jersey, although conduct
ing an enormously profitable enterprise,
pays wages too low to maintain a fam
lily on comfortable, healthy basis"
The above is one of the numerous
indictments of Standard Oil methods
found in the report on the recent strike
at Bayonne, n. J., by investigators of the
commission on federal relations.
The report says:
THE company is the most important
of the Standard Oil group, and this
group is the principal contributor to
the wealth, prestige and power of the
largest estate in the country if not in
the world, that of John ID. Rockefeller,
Sr., and his immediate family.
Facts regarding the company's labor
policies must therefore, be regarded as
of special significance, because of the
tremendous power welded by the group
of men who control this industry, and
because of their announced intention to
enter the field of industrial relations
with a view to widening their influence
and activity and propagating what they
deem to be the proper theories and prin-
ciples that should govern the relation
between employer and employe.'
The investigators say Standard OIL
uses this method in setting wage rates :
1T fixes wages not with relation to
the earnings of the company, but by
taking into consideration wages paid by
other companies in the same locality, and
then fixing the wages as low as or low
er than the prevailing wages in that
locality.
"In Bayonne it paid common laborers
less than those of two companies whose
plants adjoin its refineries This is in
direct contradiction to the claims of the
company in statement issued at 26
Broadway that it always has paid the
prevailing wage or better. The state
ment of the general manager of the COM
pany that the interests of other COM
panies in the same locality are consider
ed in the fixing of wages constitutes, in
effect an admission that the company
combines with the poorest and least gen
erous employers to fix the wage rate.
"The men are made to understand"
the report continued, that they must
seek no outside assistance in their deal
ings with the management and that any
show of independence or any hint of
compulsion will be vigorously resented.
''The company has instituted no ma
chinery by which real or fancied griev
ances may be peacefully and promptly
adjusted The officials say that any man
has access to the general superintendent,
but the employees alege that they would
be discharged before reaching the Of
flee.
General Manager Clifford is not be-
lever in child labor legislation, and, on
