Internal Harmony A statistical report issued recently by the Standard Oil Company i lndiam), reveals a !♦ markable accord between management and employes of the Company.

F , _ vital subject.as wages, hours and working cGodi- ■' tions, but related to subjects of minor importance This report is conclusive evidence of the internal harmony which manifests itself in many ways. A feeling of good fellowship prevails amoaa the employes, and between the employes and the management. Wherever a group of Standard Oil Company (Indiana) employes are working— at an oil well —in .ne laboratory— refinery — or service atatk® —an atmosphere of good-will and friendliness is apparent. This internal harmony is reflected in the attitude of the Standard Oil Company (Indians) employes toward the people thSy serve. The harmony prevailing within is radiated without the organization. The consuming public receives tke benefit in friendly, cheerful, competent service. The comradeship that exists throughout the entire organization of the Standard Oil Coenpan y (Indiana) has been definitely strengthened by such measures as the Industrial Relations sad Stock Purchasing Plana. . The human t personal character of the ommization is the inspiration back of the various measures which promote internal harmony, k Standard Oil Company (Indiana) always ..as believed that mere magnitude of numbers does not alter the human characteristics and relationships of a group. The Standard Oil company (Indiana) works on the theory that a working force of 2D,000 men and women should be bound together by the common ties of sympathy and friendship which unite a small family group. The size erf the group heightens, rather than minimizes, the importance of the individual. Oil Company (Indiana) is a huge organization, whose success depends upon the earnest effort of each of the 29,000 individuals who constitute the whole, wnl; r 2 u^\ thiß bannonious and cooperative , working of the orgunuation as a whole, the man?8 ei P e nt‘s achieving the goal set fortheCutnpany, .? r suc h- a ,b ro *d and comprehensive t 0.„?’ ent respect and esteem of > the thirty million people ofthe Middle West.
