NEW YORK, Sept. / UN.S).
Wall Street would have been re-
lieved if the holidays started TO-
day after yesterdays drab per.
formance. The liquor stocks tried
to be frisky but the rest Of the
list just went snoozing along and
ended up nowhere. What the
market needs Is a good tonic.
Rarely has the street seen such
universal bullishness as is pre-
valent now.
It's almost like an epidemic
and comes Suspiciously near the
sure thing stage, which rarely
works out. There are lots of
stories around about some bullish
news over the weekend from
Washington. One is a revival Of
the recognition Of Russia, which
bobs up every so often. Other

 oil are far-reaching and far spread. It should result almost at once in the employment of 200,- 900 additional workers, which would be an increase of almost a sixth in personnel.
 To the begrinned workers in the field - drillers, too-dressers, bumpers and others-the code means the long-belated arrival of the eight-hour day.
 Twelve. Hour Shifts at End Always the S4-hour week has been in effect for these men except in a few localities on the west coast. They worked in 12-hour shifts, from midnight to noon, or from noon to midnight, at back breaking and dangerous tasks, ding heavy equipment and tools.
 Now there will be three tours" the oil mans terms for shift for drilling crews, with the stipu- lation that men can be worked 56 hours a week only when drilling | in to complete a well. Oil-feld la bor for the first time is classified according to the type of work done and according to the knowledge and skill required, and wage scales are based on these classifications.
 life Is Hard at Best
 Drilling crews are a rugged lot, accustomed to their long hours and used to all sorts of. hardship, but they welcome the change. For the most part they live in canvas or board shacks in the fields, and when engaged in wildcatting oper- ations often far from cities and towns.
 Bumpers, too, are happy, for many of them in charge of Q large number of wells have had almost no fixed hours. Not all of them will get relief, however. for an ex- ception Is made for the bumpers In charge of stripper, or small-pro- ducing wells.

Too -dressers will get $7. and TO- tary helpers $4.50 q day.
 Typical of increased oil employ ment is the addition of $3,000,000 year in payrolls by Phillips Pet roieum Company, giving work to more than 5000 additional men in 30 states.
 Shell Petroleum Corporation, which operates in the middle west has already added 2500 employees Three of the subsidiaries of the Standard oil Company of Indiana have already added 500 new em- ployes, increasing their wage sal- ary payments by approximately $7o0,0o0 6 year.
