, GENTLY the Standard Oil Company

X Indiana) announced a plan under
which it is possible for its $4,000
employees to become partners in the business
on very attractive basis.
The publisher of a small newspaper, I'm
acquainted with the motives which animate
the seven men who direct the operation
ofthe Standard Oil Company Qndiana), wrote
an editorial in which he questioned the
motives of this Company, and intimated
that the plan was a scheme whereby the
Company aimed to benefit by getting in
this additional capital.
To set right this publisher, and any one else
interested, the Company deems it advisable
to direct attention to two outstanding
features of this plan which are illuminating
In this instance.
First, that to every dollar paid by the
employe for the purchase of stock, the
Company adds, as gift, SOC.
Second, that participation in the plan is not
obligatory, and that in no case is an e1nplOye
permitted to pay in more than twenty per
cent of his earnings.
In formulating the employee partnership plan,
the Board of Directors of the Standard Oil
Company (Indiana) was inspired solely by
the idea of benefting those employees who
wish, through systematic saving, to become
partners in the business It believes that
the man who works and saves is climbing
upward, but that the man who invests his
savings wisely is climbing faster 1t believes
that the employe who has money invested in
robustness is freer of mind, more contented,
and more productive than if this anchor to
windward did not exist.
The idea of employe ownership of industry
is in line with modern tendencies The
Standard Oil Company Qndiana) has always
been progressive organization. Its willing
ness to receive new ideas has put it in the
lead in the petroleum industry.
The Standard Oil Company Qndiana) has
developed an efficient, enthusiastic body of
workers. Every employe, from the Chair
man of the Board of Directors to the man
who drives tank wagon, is working stead
lastly to serve the public to the best
of his ability.
It the recognition of this fact that prompted
the Board of Directors to inaugurate the plan
which enables the employee whatever his
position may be-to become partner-a
factor in the business

Before Helen had reached the city

Lexington could make no reply. II
seemed that March remembered his
bride as she was eighteen years ago.

sacred portion of his life.
"And they have taken my little
child, touched her eyes with the drug.

Con was overwhelmed. He stretched

March seemed not to hear. "Helen

ment for thinking Of her always as an
infant, with glorious mother. And
Eithna has been dead for years"
Lexington was alarmed concerning
Ills friend. who was slipping deeper
into dependency. He forgot his work
for the United States government, his
long labors in the name of humanity,
and all his thought centered upon his
personal disaster. He was close to a
tragic unbalance. Lexington said
quickly:
"But Helen says her mother is not
really dead. You have yourself told
me that this life is but the camp of
one night In long journey. that the
better air Of the hills is just beyond"
Slowly March smiled, and sadly.

the younger man. "Work that may

are giving her to that yellow man

He had grown tense of nerve, keyed
