Th new s?he-5ul becomes effective on March 1. and It arpl" in refineries at Vt"htUnf, Ir.d . Wood River. III.. Sujr Creek. Mo., and Camper and Greybull. W"-c. What is most significant is th fact tht the new w--re and hour schedule was -worked out by the employe themselves, throunh the agency of their industrial council.

Thr process of gasoline manufacture is stith tbat refineries must be operated every haur of th day. every day of the week. Up to 1915. shift workers worked twelve hour shifts aeven days a week. Th company in that year put in an !ght-hottr shift wtTh an increase, giving 'he men as much pay for eight hours' work as th had b ru getting for twelve. But tfie seven-day week was continued. After th Industrial council system 'fas adopted Col. R. W. Stewart. h"d oT the board of directors, asked the employes' councils fo wtrrk out a sch-ine 'hat would make a six-day week practicable. The result is a new schedule, -which lives all sjift workers thirty-two consecutive hours oT each weelc T"nie.r the old plan the men worked fifty-six hours a week; under the new they work 5M. or a net reduction of 6.5 hours a v.eek. The 11-11 per cent increae in wages makes the pa y for six days equal to that received under the old seven-day week. OTEt AiflO BOOSTtD. A similar increase of 11.11 per cent in hourly w-sjrs is also declared for refinery workers other than nhift men. Hours are not to be changed, except that men working forty-four hours a week may increase to forty-eight hours. :f t.ey wish.
