EIeHT.HoUR DAY PAYS,
STANDARD OIL FINDS

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.-The STAN
dard Oil company Of California finds
that the eight-hour day is money
maker and that it's production is in
creased under this system.
United States Senator .Phelan, Of
California, made this statement to the
senate last week. He said that a rep
resentative of the federal department
of labor asked this company what
was the result Of its eight-hour day
and a minimum wage of 81 a day.
1.-THE representative was informed"
said Senator Phelan, that Standard
Oil, over a period of nine months on
which they made observations, act
ually increased its output at less cost
There was a greater efficiency by
having three shorter shifts by better
paid men-the oil wells were working
for the entire "a hours, having three
shifts of eight hours each-than by
having but two longer shifts; and the
increase of wages has we'll justified
the change that they made, improving
their own condition, lettering the con-
dition likewise Of the worker. =.
'"These facts were ascertained dur
ing the investigation just had last
month in California for the purpose
of inducing other corporations to go
and d likeWise.''

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.-Continued

ing, within the next 10 or Is years,

he adds.
There is no serious loss of efficiency
in the bureau at this time, due to
aged workers, the director says, since
at present only 27 employees, or per
cent of the force, are over IS years
of age. However, 181 employees or 80
per cent Of the force are over SO years
of age, and the passage of 10 or Is
