Fears for the Pittsburgh industrial
section subsidized as rain ceased. The
Weather Bureau predicted a crest Of
% feet, 3 above flood stage, at the con-

houses raised bulwarks and rescue
boats were ordered held in readiness.

Downstream from the confluence of

JAPAN IS HEAVY
BUYER OF CRUDE OIL

Not oil for the lamps of China,
but fuel for the war machine OF
Japan lies behind the tremendous
increase in shipments Of Calhor-
MIA oil to the Orient within re-
cent weeks says the National OH
Derrick. This fact was strongly re-
Elected this week from various
sources, notably in the speed ana
eagerness with which Japanese IN
teresss are chartering American
and foreign bottoms to transport
petroleum to Nippon. And these
charters are in addition to the con-
slant stream Of their own tankers
plying between petroleum shipping
ports of the world and Japan.
Early this week General Steam
shin Corporations charter report
revealed that OF tanker charters
for approximately 40 voyages with
California oil, all but five were
to japan and none to China.
Fourteen ships figure in the char
tiers and commitments have been
made for as far ahead as next
February. Fuel oil is the prin-
cipal cargo.

RAISE WAGES
OF OIL field
WORKERS HERE

An increase in wages and a re-
duction in working hours for oil
field employees will shortly be an
nounced by all major companies
operating in Montana. TVhis be-
came known during the past week
through notice received by local
officials of Standolind, Texas com
pany, Ohio Oil company and CONT
Mental Oil company.
The increases vary in the several
companies but are said to average
around 10 per cent while working
hours will be reduced in some lines
from six to 10 per cent.
This follows a general wage in
crease by majors in the Midcontt-
nent and Texas, to meet the in
creased cost of living, in confor-
NIFTY with a long established policy
Of the industry which has the best
paid workmen, as a class, in Ameri-
can industry. 1t is pointed out
that the oil industry, although hard
EST nit in the depression, was the
first to restore wages and now is
among the first to Voluntarily in
rease wages to keep pace with in
