TN it's issue of March S, the Gazette,
! of Hutchinson, Kansas, says:
"THE BRIGHT SIDE

The Standard Oil Company gets into print
often but never on account of trouble with it's
employees. Arthur Brisbane says the company
is the best managed business organization In
the world.
The entire oil business has been singularfy
free from labor troubles which have beset many
of the other major industries Reasons for this
can be found in the fact of the rapid growth of
the industry, the payment of relatively high
wages and the shifting of producing and refn-
ing centers.
The oil companies, however, have not been
content to allow harmony to rest entirely with
conditions. Efforts have been made, il the
Standard and other companies, to obtain the
greatest harmony possible among the workers.
The Standard of Indiana was a pioneer in foster
ing policy granting employees through their
elected representatives, voice in settlement of
all questions affecting their welfare, as to wages,
hours of labor and working conditions.
How the plan is working is expressed by
Colonel Robert W. Stewart, chairman of the
board of directors who says:
The greatest thing needed in American
industry today is a better understanding
between employees and management The
day of intolerant and drastic methods by
either the leaders of capital or labor is
past. Each needs the other, and the policy
of establishing goodwill, peace and under.
standing have been established between
the management and employees of our
company.
For five years we have worked together
IN mutual esteem and trust For the board
of directors, say to you that while the
problems presented by the situation in the
oil industry today are stupendous, we face
them with greater confidence because
we feel that we have back of us the whole
hearted support of every man and woman
in the Standard Oil Company Qndiana).'
The oil business has its virtues as we'll as
its foibles, if conducted properly"
The Standard Oil Company Qndiana) has
been relatively free from labor troubles
because justice, equity and fairness are
fundamental to the organization.
Without loyalty, earnestness and COM
plete harmony in it's organization of
$4,000 men and women, this Company
would be unable to render to the thirty
million people of the Middle West, the
comprehensive service which they now
enjoy and which is so essential to their
commercial and domestic life.

PULLING YOUR WEIGHT

TACQUELINE PRINCE grew up, af-
j ter her mothers death, on a big,
old-fashioned place in the country. Her
experience was bounded by the low,
rambling house; the wide, fragrant
gardens, presided over by the genius
of the place. an old gardener; her in
dulgent father, and relatives.
Jacqueline's formal education was
under the direction of governess.
During the mornings Jacqueline was
supposed to pursue knowledge. The
procedure was somewhat as follows: :
Jacuueline would be asked to recite
the first eighteen lines of 'The Canter-
bury Tales; after the opening phrases
she would slow down aud look ex-
pectantly at Miss Smith; thereupon
Miss Smith would supply and prompt
to the end of the selection. Then they
would turn to mathematics. A few
iudicious questions on Jacquellnes
part would tap successfully the
springs of Miss Smiths knowledge !;
she would seize the pencil from her
pupils hand and eventually, with a
minimum of effort on Jacqueline's part,
the sums would be accomplished.
At twenty Jacqueline was left an
orphan and penniless. The relatives
gathe~ed in conclave. eve were fond
of your father" and "There will al
ways be place in our house for you"
followed by, "Of course you can make
yourself useful if you want" were
phrases frequently in use in those
days Then Jacqueline threw a thun-
derbolt by announcing that she had a
job and proposed to be self-supportlng.
"But how?-how? in heavens name!'
was the answer. And when Jacqueline
explained that she really knew some
thing about gardens, and that she had
found a position in a florists shop,
hey were all divided between relief
nd hurt pride.
