orderly, however, and IA one or two
cases the losses were recovered shortly
before the close.

and while profit taking was in evidence
at the close some large advances were
made. Independent oils were irregular.
Shell Trading was under pressure in the
early afternoon and declined more than
Two points, but the loss was retrieved
before the close. Heavy offerings OF
Metropolitan Petroleum forced its price
down after 1t displayed strength in the
morning. There was unusual activity in
Stanton OIL, which maintained a steady
tone.
General Asphalt shares moved a few
points lower on pressure by professionals
and Maxwell Chalmers was weak.
American Safety Razor was steadier
while Vanadium Steel and V. Vivaudou
were irregular. National Aniline and
Chemical lost a large part of its recent
advance on light trading. American

SHORT DAY GOOD BUSINESS"
Eight-Hour Schedule for Women In
dorsed by Box Makers

Having formed an association for the
study of. their peculiar manufacturing prob
lens and for co operation with various wei
fare organizations, the paper box manu-
facturers of Philadelphia have learned. as
they point out in a circular letter. that an
eight hour day for women is actually good
business for the employers.
For years the eight hour principle has
been opposed in this city
Fl. II. Collins. president of the A. NJ.
Collins Manufacturing Company, leader in
the industry here, is quoted, in part, as
follows
Unrestricted hours of labor, which were
allowed at first. were found to be less pro-
ductive in the long run than the eight hour
day. In eight hours as much and often more
was produced than was possible working for
ten or twelve hours. due to suffering, un
consciously perhaps. from fatigue during the
entire working day.
The practice in the Collins plant was to
allow two quarter hour rest periods day !:
to give girls a glass of milk and cracker
during those periods at cost per girl OF
twenty cents q week. 4 marked diminution
of accidents as well as steady maintenance
of output. was observed as result. Mr..
Collips is also an advocate of the minimum
wage hill as well as of the eight hour day.
