He said he felt in common with others “a very deep sympathy” for the} sufferings of Mr. Wilson during his long illness, and shared the general feeling of profound sorrow at this death. He described the for- mer president as a man of “re- markable ability and of strong character,” to whose lot it had fallen to “play the leading part in the unspeakably difficult work of making peace.” Wilson Eulogixed The Democratic sen2te leader, Senator Robinson of Arkansas, eulogized Mr. Wilson as fit for a place among the renowned of ail ages.” . Both Senator Lodge and Sendtor Robinson will serve on a commit- tee designated to revresent the senate at the funetal services.

Every employe who has been in the Enmoany's service for one year, or more, has the privilege of buying stock in the Company, up to 20% of his earnings, on a favorable basis. To every dollar the employe invests in this manner, the, Company adds 50c. Thus does the Company provide a plan of assisting employes in accumulating a competence. A-few years ago the Company put into operation an annuity system, providing an income for those employes who have feached old age in the Company’s service or who may have been incapacitated while 80 engaged. \ : » _ Within the Standard Oil Company (Ind- jana) there is an internal organization—the Industrial Relations Department — ‘which *" provides ari open channel for men and women to bring their grievances to the at- tention of the Management for adjustment, and which enables 7 ae to have a voice in ‘all matters pertaining to their employment and their. working conditions, Since the. in- auguration of this plan 93.3% of the sugges- tions submitted to the Management have been made effective. _ Therefore, with’ continuity of employ- ment assured—with assistance in acquiring @ competence — with provision for income when active work-days are over —and with an open door for submitting grievances, with ample precedent for anticipating equitable adjustment—is it to be wondered at that employes make Standard Oil Com- pany (Indiana) business their life job?
