OIL KINGS SON.
John d. Rockefeller. Jr., Con-
dennis Seven Day Week
as Uneconomic.
NO PLACE IN INDUSTRY
First Increased Cost of Produc-
ton Will Be Offset by Eff
ficiency, He Says.

NEW YORK, Oct. 27.-(A Pr
A sweeping statement declaring his
personal stand for the eight-hour
day in industry and condemning the
12-hour day and the seven-day week
as unnecessary, uneconomic and
unjustifiable," was issued today by
John D. Rockefeller, Jr.
The statement appears in the form
Of an article signed by Mr.. Rookie
Teller in the current issue OF the
Survey Graphic and follows an ar
raignment OF working conditions IN
certain oil fields OF Wyoming in
the same magazine by R S Lynd,
who srent three months investigat
ing conditions. The statement to-
day is the second within a week that
Mr.. Rockefeller has given out in
behalf OF the laboring men. The
previous one, Issued last Wednesday,
took up the cudgel in the interest
of the coal miners in Somerset
county. Pennsylvania, and particu-
larry those employed by the Con-
solidated Coal Co., OF which he is a
.stockholder.
I believe, generally speaking, the
12-hour day and the seven-day
week should no longer be tolerated
IN industry, either from the View
point of policy or Of industrial eff
ciency," the oil magnate says in his
most recent statement II believe
that both have been proven to be
unnecessary, uneconomic and un-
justifable."
One Day in Seven.
Even in those industries where
the so-caIed continuous process" Is
an inevitable feature. Mr.. Rockefel-
Ter says he believes the routine
should be so adjusted that the en-
ployes can have at least one days
rest in seven and can obtain that
share Of leisure for self develop
ment which accompanies the work
day OF approximately eight hours.
While the adoption of these
standards may and doubtless will
at first entail increased costs OF pro-
ducton, ! am confident that IN the
long run greater efficiency will re-
suit and that from the outset public
opinion, will support any industry
which installs them"
With regard to living conditions,
even in isolated localities like oil
camps, Mr. Rockefeller declares that
IL is not only possible but necessary
to make reasonable provisions for
the health. comfort and content
ment of those who labor there IN
behalf OF the entire community.
Sound Economic Policy.
Il have never believed that these
things should be provided for work
ing men and women either as a re-
suit of chance generosity or delib-
