WAGES AND HOURS OF LABOR IN THE
PETROLEUM INDUSTRY, 1920.1
INTRODUCTION AND SUMMARY.

In November, 1920, the Bureau of Labor Statistics undertook a
comprehensive study of wages and hours of labor of employees in the
petroleum industry in the United States. This report presents the
average earnings per hour and average full-time hours, with average
hours actually worked and average earnings actually received in a
sample pay-roll period, 92 per cent of the rolls being for a period in
November, 1920, with the remaining ones as near November as was
possible. Average full-time hours per day and per week are shown
separately for employees working seven days, six days, and five
days, respectively, per week. The average hours worked and average
earnings made in the pay-roll period are shown for each district
and for the United States as a whole. The report shows also the
average number of starts (turns) made in the pay-roll period and the
per cent that such average is of the number oi days constituting the
pay-roll period, together with the per cent that average hours actually
worked are of the average full-time hours in the pay-roll period.
The study was confined to three general subdivisions oi the indus­
try, namely, drilling and operation of wells, construction and opera­
tion of pipe lines, and operation of refineries. Cooperage plants, tincan factories, and original construction work at refineries were omit­
ted, as were also the marketing and marine operations.
The report is not intended to be a census of the petroleum industry,
but every possible effort has been made to apportion the work so as
to obtain a fair representation of the industry in each section of the
country where it has been developed to any considerable extent.Representative establishments were selected, attention being given
to both large and small plants as well as to general location; that is,
whether in industrial centers or in isolated sections, because all these
conditions influence to some degree the wages paid and the hours
worked.
Schedules were obtained from 62 companies in 16 States engaged
in the drilling and operation of oil wells, emploving 35,255 males,
estimated to be 25 per cent of the total number ox such employees in
the United States; from 40 companies in 17 States engaged in the
construction and operation of pipe lines, on which 19,643 males were
employed, estimated as 50 per cent of all pipe-line employees in the
United States; and from 80 refineries in 15 States employing 42,537
males and 274 females, estimated as 35 per cent of all oil refinery

employees in the United States. Females were found in productive
work in only 5 establishments, located in 5 States, and they were
Engaged principally in filling and packing bottles, cases, cartons, and
other containers of the products manufactured, a few working at
common labor. Kitchen help and janitors, both male and female,
have been omitted from the study.
In keeping with the long-established custom of the bureau not to
disclose the identity of plants furnishing information, the data pre­
sented in this report have been compiled by districts, the States in
each district being specified. The refineries are grouped in six dis­
tricts, while wells and pipe lines are each grouped in five, with a
different arrangement o f States.
The bureau met with the most hearty cooperation upon the part
of all companies visited, all data relating to hours and earnings having
been taken directly from the pay rolls by special agents of the bureau.
In the instance of each establishment scheduled the pay-roll
period covered was for a date prior to any general reduction m rates
of wages or increase in hours per day or week; that is, it represented
the war-time peak of rates and hours, a period in November, 1920,
having been selected in very nearly all cases. All bonuses were
included, with exception of a special case involving two companies
in California each of which furnished data covering wells, pipe lines,
and refineries. These two companies, along with others which were
not scheduled, entered into an agreement with their employees (said
agreement to run for a period of 14 months ending August 31, 1921)
providing that each regular employee, excepting certain classes of
common labor, should receive an additional compensation of 25
cents per day, payable on August 31, 1921, conditioned upon the
faithful fulfillment of the agreement. In this connection it should be
stated that the collection of statistical data in California was not
limited to companies which entered into the agreement, care having
been taken to schedule a sufficient number of those outside the
agreement to make the report representative of conditions in the
\State.
Since obtaining these figures, which represent the rates in effect
in November, 1920, press reports indicate that wages ha^e been
reduced in many of the larger establishments scheduled. In most
of such cases it meant that a part or the whole of certain bonuses
granted during the war were discontinued. The bureau has not
undertaken, however, to ascertain the exact amount of such reduc­
tions or the number of establishments in which they occurred.
In classifying by occupation the employees at the wells, 13 occupa­
tions were selected, these being the only ones in which any consid­
erable number of employees were found. In fact, 89 per cent of the
employees at the wells of the 62 companies scheduled are covered
in these 13 occupations. Furthermore, the mechanics, other than
carpenters and machinists, are shown in a collective group, as are
also mechanics7 helpers, leaving only about 6 per cent of the total
which are shown in a residual group as “ Other em ployees/7 The
principal occupations going to make up this group will be found
under the “ Description of oli-well occupations/7 page 9. Teamsters
furnishing their own teams were omitted from the tabulation because
no accurate data as to the daily cost of the team or as to the number
of teams furnished by an individual were obtainable. Another class

of employees omitted from the tabulation were those engaged in the
manufacture of casing-head gasoline, so called because it is extracted
from the natural gas coming from the casing heads of the oil wells.
Adjunct plants of this class, while found at many of the wells, are by
no means general. No females were scheduled at the wells.
In handling the data relating to work on the pipe lines 12 occu­
pations were selected, and these cover 94 per cent of all employees
on the pipe lines of the 40 companies scheduled. As in the case at
the wells, mechanics other than carpenters and machinists are
classed separately and so are mechanics' helpers, leaving only 2 per
cent of the total to be grouped under “ Other employees/' Under
“ Laborers" are included roustabouts, yardmen, boiler cleaners, and
tongsmen, while those included under “ Other mechanics" are named
in the “ Description of pipe-line occupations," p. 12, as are also the
more important of the occupations grouped under “ Other em­
ployees." Teamsters furnishing their own teams were not tabulated.
No females were scheduled on pipe lines.
In classifying the occupations found in the refineries, they were
grouped under five principal departments, namely: “ Refining" with
24 occupations, in two of which females were employed; “ Filling,
packing, and shipping," with 8 occupations, in 3 of which females
were employed; “ Transportation—railroad, motor, and team," with
7 occupations, in which males only were employed; “ Miscellaneous
labor, maintenance, and repair," with 20 occupations and a group of
“ Other mechanics," females being found in 2 occupations only; and
“ Guarding, etc.," with 1 selected occupation and a miscellaneous
group classed as “ Other employees," no females being reported under
this department. The total of 60 selected occupations cover 91 per
cent of employees at the 80 refineries scheduled. The more impor­
tant of the miscellaneous occupations classed under “ Other em­
ployees" will be found under the “ Description of occupations at
refineries," p. 21.
No separate classification was made for the paraffin department
because in many instances it was not possible to segregate the em­
ployees of that department, but so far as can be observed from data
at hand the wages paid and the hours worked do not differ materially
from those in other branches of the refining department.
Still cleaners have been omitted because in most cases no accurate
records were kept as to their hours of work.
It will be observed that coal passers and ashmen have been thrown
together because the work was closely related and the rates about the
same. For similar reasons other groupings were made as follows:
Engineers and chillermen; firemen and assistant engineers; retort,
acid, and kettle men; stillmen's assistants, chargers, and headers-up;
branders and painters; teamsters and drivers; bricklayers and ma­
sons; and crane operators. It should be stated also that all laborers
in the refineries have been classed under the department designated
as “ Miscellaneous labor, maintenance, and repair."
The data collected show that the regular working schedule of 74
per cent of all employees engaged in the drilling and operation of
wells was seven days per week, the remaining 26 per cent being sixday workers; 34 per cent of all pipe-line employees worked seven
days and 66 per cent six days per week; 23 per cent of all employees
at the refineries were seven-day workers and 77 per cent six-day

Taking up that section of the table which relates to wells, it is seen
that there were three employees whose regular working time was
six days per week, with eight hours per day for five days and a less

number of hours on the sixth day. In filling the percentage column,
however, these three are negligible when compared with the total of
9,137 six-day workers. On the next line are found 4,572 six-day
workers whose regular hours per day were eight for each of the six
days. This number, plus the three mentioned, makes 4,575 which
is 50 per cent of all six-day workers. The next entry in the six-day
group shows 124 whose regular hours were 8 f for five days per week
and a less number on the sixth day. The 124 added to the 4,575
gives'us 4,699, or 51 per cent of the total. Going one step further to
include the 3,287 working nine hours straight for six days in the week,
we have 7,986, or 87 per cent of all six-day workers, who worked nine
hours per day or less. This method was continued until the entire
100 per cent were accounted for. The seven-day workers were
treated in a similar way, as were also the six-day and seven-day
workers combined. It will be seen that a cumulative percentage,
for example 100, may appear two or more times in the same column.
This means that one or more employees fell within a certain classifica­
tion but that the number of such employees was so very small as not
to affect the percentage, which is given in round numbers. Were
the percentages carried to additional decimal places a slight change
would be seen, for example 99.7 and 99.9 are both expressed as 100
in round numbers.
As previously indicated, the 9,137 six-day workers constitute 26
per cent, and the 26,118 seven-day workers, 74 per cent of all em­
ployees at the wells.
The above explanation will apply also to those sections of the
table which relate to pipe lines and refineries.
Some minor details of the table have been taken care of in foot­
notes.
The following summary table shows the average full-time hours
per week and the average earnings per hour by industry subdivision
and by occupation. The averages shown in this table are for the
United States as a whole. In this and in the general tables also all
employees are males except where females are noted.

A brief description of the operations in each of the three subdivi­
sions of the petroleum industry covered by this survey is herewith
given, and this is followed by a description of the principal occupa­
tions found in the respective subdivisions.
In addition to first-hand information obtained by special agents of
the bureau which has been used in the preparation of material de­
scriptive of the operations several standard works have been con­
sulted.
DRILLING AND OPERATION OF OIL WELLS.

The two types of drills commonly used in the drilling of oil wells
are the cable tool and the rotary drill. The nature of the strata in
the field in which the drilling is to be done is the determining factor
in the selection of the drill.
The cable tool, or percussion drill, is generally used in the fields
where considerable stone or rock formation is expected to be encoun­
tered. This drill consists of a heavy steel stem some 30 feet in length
and of varying diameter, according to the size of the hole to be drilled,
the stem having a tool known as a “ b it” attached to the lower end.
To the upper end is fastened a wire cable suspended from the top of
a derrick and leading to a hoisting drum, around which the cable is
wound. The derrick usually has a 20-foot base, tapering in pyram­
idal shape to a 4-foot top at a height of 80 feet, and may be of wood
or steel construction, its strength being conditioned upon the earth

formation. A soft formation where caving-in is likely to occur calls
for a large hole because it is necessary to insert columns of casing as
the depth of the well increases. In the case of very deep wells the
diameter is usually large even though caving-in may not be expected.
The drum is set in motion b y a lever connected with the engine.
The lever is controlled by the driller who raises and releases the tool
stem, the weight of which forces the tool through the bed of earth
and rock. When the drill strikes gravel, a casing is put in and drill ­
ing is continued through the gravel to limestone and through the
limestone. After the limestone formation is drilled through, a casing
about 1| inches less in diameter is put in and continued down with
the drilling until oil is found or the well is abandoned as a nonpro­
ducer. The formation drilled through may vary, but at a depth at
which it is thought there may be oil smaller casing and drills are
used than at the beginning.
At intervals during the process a bailer or clean-out tool is lowered
into the hole to bring up the dirt and rock that have been loosened.
The bailer consists o f a long tube having on the lower end a detacha­
ble valve and, like the tool stem, connected by a wire cable leading
to another hoisting drum. When the drilling is completed and the
well “ shot” (see p. 9) the bailing is continued until all the loose dirt
and rock have been removed, and the well is then turned over to
the production department for pumping.
The rotary drill has come into common use in oil fields where there
is little or no stone or rock, because of’the speed with which the drill­
ing can be done in soft or caving formations. However, when ob­
structions in the nature of stone or rock are found in the path of the
drill, there is a specially designed tool, known as a “ cone” bit attached
to the drill stem.
The rotary drill consists of a rapidly rotating pipe or stem on the
lower end oi which is attached a fish-tail or a diamond-point bit. To
the upper end of the stem is attached a wire cable which suspended
from the top of the derrick, leads to a hoisting drum.
The pipe or stem is rotated at the rate of some 200 revolutions per
minute by a horizontal revolving disk through which the stem passes.
The rotary disk is driven by chain and sprockets from the line shaft
operated by the engine.
Water and thin mud are pumped through the drill stem down into
the hole and this forces the material cut away by the bit to rise to
the surface The mud also serves to cement the walls and prevents
©aving-in of the sides of the hole before the casing can be inserted.
The casing is inserted in strings, the number and size depending upon
the depth of the well. They are put in at different intervals of depth,
seldom exceeding three strings, and ranging in size from 10 inches to
6 inches in wells to a depth of 3,500 feet.
After the drilling is completed and the well “ shot” the hole is
“ swabbed in.” The swab is much like the bailer used in cable-tool
drilling, except that between the stem and the valve is a larger rubber
tube which when compressed and released creates a vacuum. This
draws the sand, etc., into the tube, which is repeatedly lowered into
and withdrawn from the hole until the well is “ brought in ” and ready
to be “ put on the beam,” or turned over to the production depart­
ment for pumping.

DESCRIPTION OF OIL-WELL OCCUPATIONS.

Derrick men.— Employed only where rotary drilling is done. From
a position up in the derrick he attaches a cable to pipes or casings and
holds the upper end of the casing while it is being lowered into
position and while those below make the connection.
Drillers.— In general, the driller directs the work and controls the
levers operating the drilling machinery. His first duty is, with the
help of a tool dresser who works with a driller, to locate and set up
the boiler, engine, and drill rig at the point where a well is to be
drilled. Laborers may aid in this work. After the rig is set up and
the engine in operation, the driller places the drill at the point deter­
mined for commencement of drilling, adjusts the “ temper screw,” a
device to show the depth of the drill in the formation being drilled, so
as to give the proper “ bite” or pressure to the drill, and continues
drilling until gravel is struck. The driller keeps a close watch of the
temper screw, adjusting it frequently, as conditions require, and
observing the cutting and the depth being obtained in order to deter­
mine the necessity for a change of drill; that is, a newly-sharpened
drill. When oil is struck a charge of nitroglycerine is put into the
bottom of the well and discharged to loosen up the formation at the
depth where the oil is found. This is called “ shooting the well,” and
the charge may be put in the well by the driller or a man hired
especially to “ shoot the well,” such employee being called a “ well
shooter.” After a well is “ shot” the driller has charge of cleaning it
out to get it in condition to be thoroughly cased for piping and
pumping. The tool dresser helps the driller in this work.
Drillers1 helpers and clean-out helpers—Assist in making pipe and
casing joints, attach and remove bits, etc.
Firemen.— Fire the boilers for running the engines used in pumping
the wells. This work is usually done by the tool dresser and some­
times by an engineer, if one is employed.
Gaugers.—Measure and report the quantity of oil in the tanks and
turn it into the pipe line.
Laborers, roustabouts, and connection men.— Help the pumpers
repair boilers and engines and set pumps or jacks and put in rod lines.
They also dig ditches and act as general handymen on construction
and repair work and sometimes do casing Work.
Pumpers and engineers.—A pumper has charge ol, keeps in order,
and looks after the boilers, engines, pumps, or “ jacks,” etc. He
inspects the pumps at intervals, oils the machinery, and watches the
tanks that they do not run over. An engineer is sometimes engaged
to run the engine and act as fireman for drilling when there is more
work at tool sharpening and assisting the driller than the tool dresser
can do and act as engineer and fireman too. The engineer may also
be employed at other power work.
Rig builders.— Erect the rigs, or derricks, used in drilling oil wells.
Teamsters.— Load and unload material and transport it from one
location to another by use of horse and wagon or other conveyance.
Tool dressers.—A tool dresser assists a driller. His duties are to
act as fireman and run the engine used for power in drilling, sharpen
drills, help bail water from the well and do any other work required
by the driller. He helps to clean out the well after it has been “ sho t ”
and puts it in condition for casing and piping to be pumped. On

account of being employed in helping to clean out wells, a tool dresser
is also called a “ clean-out man’s helper.”
Truck drivers.— Load and unload materials and operate the motor
trucks used in the work.
MECHANICS.

Carpenters.— Also called power builders. Erect dwelling houses,
sheds for pumping engines, and for housing equipment.
Machinists.—Also called mechanics. Have charge of all machinery
installment and mechanical repair work in the oil fields.
Other mechanics.— These include a large number engaged in repair­
ing steam engines, pumps, gasoline engines, and various other machin­
ery and implements. At many establishments they are carried on
the rolls as “ repairers.”
Mechanics7helpers.— Men who have had some experience in various
mechanical occupations and assist the journeymen mechanics in their
respective trades are called “ Mechanics7 or repairers7 helpers:77
OTHER EMPLOYEES.

Casers.— Also called casing-gang men. Insert strings of casing in
the wells under the direction of the driller. They also pull tubes or
pipes and rods from the wells, using a hydraulic jack called a pulling
machine. The casing work may be done by one gang and the tube
and rodwork by another, in which case those doing the latter are
called “ Pulling-machine men.77
Clean-out men.— Same kind of work as that done by regular drillers
except that while cleaning out an old well the drillers are known as
clean-out men and the tool dressers as clean-out helpers, and both
are paid at a lower rate for this kind of work.
Line walkers.— Walk the gathering pipe lines in the oil fields to
look for leaks or breaks in the pipes.
Oilers.— Oil the engines, pumps, rods, and other machinery at the
wells.
Tractor drivers.— Operate motor tractors used in drawing heavy
loads of material.
Truck drivers' helpers.— Assist the truck drivers in loading and
unloading trucks.
Warehouse men.— Have charge of material stored in stock that is
required for use throughout an oil field. They make distribution of
the stock as called for and keep a record of the stock on hand and the
stock distributed.
Watchmen.— Guard the property in the oil fields against theft, fire,
etc.
PIPE-LINE TRANSPORTATION OF CRUDE PETROLEUM.

To most people the tank car is not an unfamiliar sight, and those
living on the seacoast may see the tank steamer. Formerly these
two instruments constituted the principal means by which crude and
refined petroleum was transported from one section of the country to
another. While both are still in use, the tank car, so far as the trans­
portation of crude petroleum is concerned, has to a great extent been
supplanted by the modern pipe-line system though it is still the prin­
cipal means of transporting the refined product, excepting in the

coastwise, the import, and the export trade, where the tank steamer
is the more important carrier.
This report, however, in so far as it relates to the transportation
of crude petroleum, is concerned solely with the vast network of pipe
lines which gather and transport the oil from the wells to the refineries,
some of which are located many hundred miles away.
The nearest thing with which these underground systems of trans­
portation are comparable is the water works system of a city; the
former being the reverse of the latter in operation, in that its system
of arteries gathers up the oil from the various wells and sends it to
the trunk lines, thence to the refineries, while the water works sys­
tem sends the water first through the main conduit, later distributing
it to the homes of the people.
To emphasize the size of the modern system of oil transportation,
it may be explained that the oil is pumped from the fields of Texas,
Oklahoma, and Kansas to refineries along the Atlantic seaboard of
the United States and to other refineries located in the Dominion of
Canada.
To illustrate these intricate systems of lines, it may be said that
one concern has more than 6,000 miles of gathering and trunk lines
and nearly 100 main and field pumping stations; while another
reports a system of such magnitude that it drains the crude oil from
some 10,000 wells and delivers it to almost any refining center in the
United States, save the Pacific coast where there are other systems
no less modern than those in the East, the Middle West and Southwest.
These lines are known as “ gathering” lines and “ trunk "lines, the
pipes of the former being of 6 inches diameter or less, while the trunk
lines are of 6,8, 12, and sometimes 16 inches. These very large pipes,
however, are confined to short distances because they necessitate
more than an ordinary number of pumping stations, which as a rule
are found about every 50 miles along the trunk lines, depending upon
the hindrance or the assistance offered b y gravity.
It is of interest to note that before the advent of the tank car, the
tank steamer, and the pipe line it was not an uncommon sight in
what was then the principal oil-producing region to see a string of
half a hundred wagons hauling the oil from the wells to refineries
hundreds of miles distant. This furnished many men and teams with
employment and these men naturally became jealous of any system
that meant the loss of their jobs, the result being that repeated
attempts upon the part of pioneers to transport oil by pipe lines were
futile, the lines being destroyed time after time, and it was only by
the constant guarding of the property that the system was finally
placed upon a safe basis. Nowadays millions of individuals walk and
ride daily across these various lines laid underground, unconscious
of the fact that beneath their feet is flowing the crude product on its
way to the refinery, later to be used in running and oiling their motor
cars and in lighting their homes.
This system is now so generally recognized by the public as an
economic plan of first import that it is only in the rarest instances
that one hears of a pipe line being tampered with. Even during the
World War there was comparatively little trouble of this nature,
notwithstanding the fact that petroleum was undoubtedly one of
the most important factors in the winning of the war.

DESCRIPTION OF PIPE-LINE OCCUPATIONS.

Engineers and pumpers.— Engineers are responsible for the operation
and care of the engines and pumps at the pumping stations. At the
smaller stations they do the firing also. The engines pump the oil
from one pumping station to another, the distance varying from a
few miles to almost 100, depending upon the topography of the
country.
Firemen.—Are found only in the larger stations where the engineers
do not have time to do the firing. They fire the boilers, watch the
water gauge, and oil the engine and pumps. Called engineers’
assistants where gas is used as fuel.
Gaugers {field gaugers and hourly gaugers).— Field gaugers measure
the oil in the tanks in the producing fields. They first run off the
water which settles in the bottom of the oil tanks, then measure the
oil and let it run into the gathering lines. Hourly gaugers measure
the oil each hour in the big storage tanks at the pumping station
to see how much is being received.
Laborers, roustabouts, etc.— Common laborers performing un­
skilled work in the construction and repair of the pipe lines. Such
labor consists in clearing the right of way, pick and shovel work on
the ditch, loading and unloading trucks and wagons, lifting pipe into
the ditch and fining in the ditch after the pipe line is laid.
Linemen.— Erect and repair the telegraph and telephone lines con­
nected with the pipe line. This consists mainly in supervising the
erection of the poles, stringing the wires and testing out the lines.
Line walkers or patrolmen.— Walk lines of pipe looking for any leaks,
danger from flood, fire, or anything that may appear wrong with the
pipe lines, for wires down, etc., reporting the trouble to the nearest
station. They have a certain distance to cover each day, which varies
iji different sections.
Oilers.— Oil the engines and pumps and watch the water gauges.
Found only in the larger stations where the time of the engineer is
occupied by more important duties.
Teamsters.— Have the care and driving of the teams for hauling and
grading purposes, mostly on pipe-line construction.
Telegraph operators.— Operate the telegraph lines in connection
with pipe lines, and at small stations do the gauging. They are
located at pumping stations along the line.
Truck drivers.— Operate motor trucks, mostly on construction work
but sometimes employed regularly at supply depots. They make
minor emergency truck repairs also.
Carpenters.— Employed chiefly in the construction of houses for em­
ployees, offices, warerooms, scaffolding, and wooden tanks. They do
all the woodwork on the buildings and tanks.
Machinists.— Set up and repair the engines and pumps and operate
thread-cutting machines for large size pipes.
Mechanics’ helpers.—These are men who have had some experience
in the various mechanical occupations; they assist their respective
mechanics.

Blacksmiths.— Engaged chiefly on repairs, sharpening picks, crow­
bars, etc., and doing any welding that may be necessary m construc­
tion or maintenance. Found either with the construction gang or
at the supply depot.
Boiler makers.— Construct all metal tanks and smokestacks where
heavy iron is used and do acetylene welding.
Bricklayers.—Lay brick on buildings, construct brick fire boxes
for engines, set boilers, and construct brick culverts along the line.
Cement finishers.— Direct the laying of the grout and put on the
finishing coat to cement work at stations and at dwelling houses.
Cement workers.— Mix the concrete and grout and assist the cement
finishers.
Connection men.— Assist in the laying of the pipe line by making
the connections of the several lengths of pipe, under the direction of
the stabber.
Electricians.— Install and keep in repair the electrical appliances
and fixtures in the stations and dwellings.
Painters.— Paint the tanks, dwelling houses, pumping stations, etc.
Pipe-machine operators.— Operate pipe machines used in laying and
joining pipes.
Pipe machinists.— Thread pipe by machinery and sometimes con. struct short pieces used in making connections.
Plasterers.— Plaster houses and stations.
Plumbers.— Install toilet and water supply fixtures necessary at
pumping stations and dwelling houses.
Stabbers.— Stand at the far end of the length of pipe which is being
joined to the line already constructed and sight it so that it will enter
, the coupling straight and make a perfect fitting connection without
the thread being crossed and stripped. Work similar to that of
foreman of pipe-laying gang.
Tank repairers.—May be either carpenters repairing wooden tanks,
or boiler makers repairing steel tanks.
Tank riveters.— Itivet the tank plates after they are fitted up by
the boiler makers.
Welders.— Weld pipe lines together by the acetylene process where
thread connections are not used. Also employed in the construction
and repair of steel tanks.
OTHER EMPLOYEES.

Calkers.— When a leak is discovered in the seams of a tank, the
calker, with the use of a hammer and a specially constructed chisel
or iron, tightens the seams by wedging in oakum or cotton packing.
Chauffeurs.— Operate passenger motor cars. This term is some­
times used to denote drivers of small motor trucks, but the latter
should be classed as truck drivers.
Construction men.— A term applied to a gang employed, on new
work or to a large repair gang. They lay and repair the pipe lines.
Ditching-machine operators.— Operate machines used in excavating
ditches in which the pipe line is to be laid. Also operate machines
which fill the ditch and pack the dirt on top of the pipe.

Field scouts.— Secure the right of way, make provision for supplies
and forage for the men and animals of the construction gang, and
engage teams for work when necessary.
Strappers.— Measure the height, and the top and bottom diame­
ters o f the inside, and any inside projection of tanks after they are
constructed or reconstructed so that depth gauges may be made.
Tank-car loaders.— Are rather unusual along a pipe line; they make
the connections for loading tanks cars with crude petroleum when
shipped by tank car instead of by pipe line.
Telephone operators.— Some pipe line companies have a telephone
instead of a telegraph system, and the operators operate the phones
at the pumping stations and at small stations do the gauging.
THE REFINING OF PETROLEUM.

The crude oil having been pumped from the wells and then trans­
ported by pipe line, in tank cars, or in tank steamers to the refinery,
it remains now to be seen how its various component parts are broken
up and separated successively one from another to meet the public
needs. This is made possible from the fact that the boiling points
of the different “ fractions” constituting the crude oil are reached at
different temperatures. For instance, the naphtha or gasoline in the
petroleum begins to boil at a lower temperature than does any other
constituent part. It is therefore the first element to vaporize, and at
a given temperature the vapor as it passes overhead to the condenser
will be composed largely oi this fraction, though it will contain also
more or less of the heavier oils. The separation of the fractions is
aided by the condensing process, since the vapors containing the
fractions of higher boiling points are the first to condense.
If the temperature in the still is increased, the kerosene begins to
boil, and this is followed in turn, as the temperature is further in­
creased, by the gas and fuel oils and then the lubricating oil, the latter
sometimes being referred to as the paraffin distillate, which is the last
of the four major fractions resulting from the first distillation.
The boiling process usually takes place in an immense horizontal
cylindrical “ still” mounted over a furnace, the fuel being coal or oil.
The latter is very generally used in California because of the scarcity
and cost of coal.
These stills are of varying capacities, some being as large as 16 feet
in diameter and 32 feet in length, or 14 feet in diameter and 42 feet
in length, capable of distilling 1,000 to 1,200 barrels at one time;
while others are very small in comparison, having a capacity as low as
200 barrels. They are arranged in rows or batteries, a battery fre­
quently consisting of a dozen stills.
The condensing equipment referred to above consists of a coil or
system of parallel iron pipes, usually submerged in a large tank of
cold water. As the vaporized oil from the still is conveyed through
the pipes of the condenser and comes in contact with the cooling
surface it is condensed into a liquid form and is run to the receiving
house, the four major fractions being diverted into separate tanks
as each is distilled in turn by increased heat. The condensers vary
in size with the stills, some of the boxes measuring as much as 20 feet
in width, 48 feet in length, and 12 feet in height.




T H E REFINING OF PETROLEUM.

The time required to produce the four major fractions varies
from 48 to 72 hours.
In the distillation of crude oil a considerable quantity of gas accu­
mulates, especially in connection with pressure and coking still
operations where cracking occurs. The amount of gas depends to
some extent upon the temperature of the still, of the condenser, of
the weather, and also upon the crude oil used. This gas is not
allowed to go to waste. In some plants it is used directly for fuel
purposes only, but in others through an absorption process, a certain
amount of gasoline is recovered from the gas, and this is then treated
chemically in order to remove the sulphur.
In addition to the cylindrical still there is the “ cheesebox”
still which, however, is little used nowadays. The “ steam still”
also in use, obtains its name from the fact that the distillation is
effected by steam instead of by fire. The “ tower still” is so called
because of the condensing and separating tower which rises some­
what higher than the still itself. The “ continuous still” is one in
which the distillation is a continuous process, making it possible to
obtain at the same time different fractions from the several stills
in the battery. * This is done by connecting all the stills of a battery,
the temperature being increased at each successive still. The crude
oil is charged into the initial still which takes off the naphtha and
flowing from that to the others, each distilling its fraction; the re7
siduum is pumped from the last still. The “ vacuum still,” which is
smaller than the average crude still, is so called because a partial
vacuum is created in it by the use of a pump, and this causes some
of the fractions to vaporize at temperatures lower than would be the
case under atmospheric pressure. “ Pressure stills” are those in
which the distillation is carried on by subjecting the oil to heat and
pressure to increase the per cent of gasoline from the crude.
To return to the four major fractions resulting from the distilla­
tion of the crude oil, it is-found that the naphtha is not of sufficient
purity to make it marketable, so it is pumped into a huge tank-like
container called an “ agitator,” in which it is agitated with air or
circulated through a centrifugal pump, treated with sulphuric acid
and caustic soda, then washed with water, causing the “ sludge” or
sediment to settle at the bottom so that it may be drawn off. This
sludge contains some oil and tar, the former being recovered, the
latter being used as fuel. The chemical treatment of the naphtha
not only removes the sulphur and impurities but also improves the
odor and color of the product. This process sometimes takes place
in a continuous heating plant, so called because the oil and acid are
fed continuously through a mixing device. The time required for
treating the oil in an agitator of 5,000 barrels’ capacity is about 30
hours.
Following the chemical treatment the naphtha is subjected to a
second distillation in a steam still. Steam is used not only because
naphtha boils at such a low temperature that the use of fire is not
required but also because the product from the second distillation
is believed to be of a better quality if steam is used.
The kerosene, which was found to be the second fraction obtained
from the distillation of the' crude oil, is also given a chemical treat­
ment, after which it is redistilled in a combination fire and steam still,




16

WAGES AND HOURS OF LABOR IN PETROLEUM INDUSTRY.

the fire causing the necessary heat and the steam preventing “ crack­
ing,” that is, the disintegration of the oil. Even after this process:
it is sometimes again rerun in a steam still or filtered through clay to
further improve its quality.
The gas and fuel-oil stock, the third fraction to come over in the;
distillation of the crude oil, is not usually given further treatment.
Gas oil is used principally in the manufacture of city gas, for internal-*
combustion engines, and as metallurgical fuel.
The lubricating-oil distillate or paraffin distillate, the fourth frac­
tion resulting from the distillation, contains the stock from which
both lubricating oils and paraffin wax are obtained. It is pumped
from the receiving house to the tanks of the paraffin department,
then through the chillers to the presses. The chilling process, which
is performed in a large refrigerating plant, crystallizes the wax in the
oil, forming a kind of slush which is then by means of presses filtered
through canvas blankets, the oil passing through and dripping into a
tank while the “ slack w ax” adheres to the blankets.
The pressed oil, now wax free, is pumped from the tank to the
“ reducing stills” where it is reduced to the required viscosity for
lubricating oils. This is accomplished by distilling off some of the
lighter fractions. The lubricating oil remaining is then pumped to.
the agitators and there treated with sulphuric acid and caustic soda,
in order to improve the color and odor and to remove heavy carbon.
The “ sludge,” which is a term used to cover dirt and other impu­
rities, settles in the bottom of the agitator and is then pumped to
the acid plant, where it is charged into a kettle of water and blown,
with steam. This treatment, or cooking, separates the oil, acid, and
impurities, the last being known as acid coke. The oil and acid are
pumped off and the coke is dumped into a conveyer for transfer to
fuel cars.
The “ slack w ax” as it is scraped from the blankets falls into a
worm conveyer, which carries it to the melting tank. After melting
it is pumped to a settling tank and from there to the paraffin agitators,
where it is cleansed with a treatment of sulphuric acid and caustic
soda to improve the color. In order to remove the remaining oil, the
melted wax is pumped into “ sweating pans” and allowed to cool and
solidify. The pans are then gradually warmed up, which causes the
oil in the crystals of wax to sweat out and flow to the receiving pans,
and this oil is then resweated to remove any wax remaining therein.
The wax obtained by the “ sweating process” is known as “ trade
scale w ax” which may be resweated to refined wax, the latter being
filtered through clay or animal charcoal to make the product colorless;
The filtered refined wax is then run through press molds and made
into cakes.
The above description applies when paraffin-base crude oil is used,
and this oil predominates to a greater extent in the Appalachian field
than elsewhere in the United States. In addition to this, there is a
greater demaiid in the East for lubricants, the result being that most
of the refineries having a paraffin department are located in the East.
The Appalachian field includes New York, Pennsylvania, West Vir­
ginia, southeastern Ohio, Kentucky, and Tennessee.
In the refining of other crude petroleums, however, the method is
very much the same, excepting mat a less number of finished prod­
ucts are obtained, the residue depending upon the oil that is used.

Much of the crude oil produced in Mexico and also in California is of
the asphalt base, which yields gasoline, kerosene, fuel oil, and asphalt.
In the field about Lima, Ohio, and extending into eastern Indiana,
which is known as the Lima-Indiana field, and also in the northern
Illinois field, the oil contains much sulphur. There is little asphalt
in the Lima-Indiana field, but considerable in northern Illinois. The
Gulf field, embracing southern Louisiana and southern Texas, pro­
duces an oil strong of both asphalt and sulphur. The crude oil pro­
duced in the mid-continent and Wyoming fields is of a mixed asphalt
and paraffin base. The mid-continent field includes Kansas, Okla­
homa, northern Louisiana and northern Texas, and Arkansas. In
some sections of this field sulphur also is found, but in the northern
parts of Louisiana and Texas the crude is practically free from
sulphur.
Partly because of the kind of crude oil produced in the Middle West
and partly because of the limited market in that section for lubricat­
ing oils, there is not so large a proportion of “ complete refineries”
there as in the East. The great majority of those in the Middle West
and Southwest are known as “ skimming” plants, which may produce
some but not all of the finished products. In California there are
quite a few “ topping” plants which subject the crude to one distil­
lation, the lighter product being known as “ tops,” the residuum being
sold for fuel oil.
The per cent that each of the four major fractions constitutes of the
crude oil depends of course upon the kind of crude oil used. It has
been found, however, that mid-continental paraffin base yields are
approximately as follows: Twenty-three per cent gasoline, 27 per
cent refined kerosene oil, 28.41 per cent gas oil, 11 per cent paraffin
lubricating oils, 1.63 per cent crude scale wax, 0.38 per cent wax
tailings, 3.28 per cent petroleum coke, with a loss of 5.3 per cent dur­
ing distillation. Mid-continent crude is cited as an example, because
the Appalachian crude, especially the Pennsylvania grade, is conserved
principally for cylinder stock and high-grade lubricating oils.

REFINING.

Clay roasters.— Reclaim the clay after it is used in the filters. The
oil is blown out, the clay is washed, steamed, and placed into a
revolving roaster which, when heat is applied, drys the clay; after
which it is removed for use again.
Coal passers and ashmen.— Deliver coal from coal pile to boilers
and remove ashes from the ash beds.
Engineers and chillermen.— Engineers operate the various pumps
used for pumping the oil and also operate the refrigerating plant
which is used to chill the oil before it is fed to the wax presses.
Chillermen operate the necessary machinery to force the oil through
the chillers. One man may be both engineer and chillerman.
Filterers.— Oil is filtered through large vats of clay to remove acid
and asphalt and to improve the color. Filtqrers watch the oil as it
comes from these vats to see if it meets the required tests.
Firemen and assistant engineers.-^-Firemen at the stills feed fuel
by hand to the furnace beneath the still and remove ashes. Fuel

may consist of coal, coke and screenings, acid tar, or fuel oil. They
regulate the drafts and watch the temperature of the still to see that
the still bottoms are not overheated and burned. Boiler firemen feed
fuel, consisting of coal, fuel oil, or gas, to furnace under the boiler,
remove ashes, and watch the steam pressure and water gauge. The
assistant engineer assists the engineer and at some plants acts as
fireman.
Gaugers.—Are responsible for the measuring by their assistants of
the contents of tanks. The gaugeman at pressure stills manipulates
the gauges in the receiving house.
Molders.— Operate presses for molding wax into differently shaped
blocks for commercial use.
Oilers.— Oil the engines, pumps, and other machinery.
Pressmen.— Manipulate the filter presses, breaking them down
with the use of heavy knives to separate the steel plates from the
canvas blankets to release the wax. Also called press dumpers.
Press runners.— Found under this name only at plants where the
work is highly specialized. Open and close the presses and keep
them in working condition.
Pumpmen.— Take care of the transferring of oil by means of pumps
from receiving tanks to stills or from tanks to agitators and start
and stop all pumps. Must understand the different line systems,
know what each tank contains, see that the proper grade of oil is
being pumped to the department ordering it. They draw the oil
from storage tanks to pump house by suction pumps for shipment,
then pump to tank cars or tank steamers.
Pumpmen*s helpers.—A t direction of pumpmen they open valves
on the proper line for the transfer of oil and walk the lines to see if
there are any leaks.
Repairmen.—Adjust and make minor repairs to pumps.
Retort, acid, and Tcettle men.— The kettlemen and acid men attend
to the separating of the acid from the sludge. The sludge is pumped
into a cooking kettle, water is added and then live steam turned into
the kettle. This cooking process brings the tar to the top and
causes the acid to settle at the bottom. The acid is pumped to a
concentrator and reduced. The retort men take the weak acid and
put it through a retort which, by fire and heat, reduces it to its
original strength.
Still inspectors.—After coke stills are cleaned, an inspector goes
into the still to see if it is ready to be refilled. He taps the bottom of
the still with a hammer to ascertain if any part of the bottom has
been overheated and burned.
Stillmen.— Control the operation of the stills. Watch each‘Stream
as it flows from the still and take the temperature and gravity each
hour. As correct gravity is reached they change the stream by open­
ing a valve to the proper tank. They instruct the firemen as to
the heat required to keep the stream steady.
Stillmen*s assistants, chargers, and headers-up.— Stillmen’s assistants
watch the stills and condensers to see that no leakage occurs and watch
the quantity of oil in the stills. They may also act as chargers whose
duty it is to see that the proper quantity of oil is pumped into the
still before it is fired, and inspect plugs for leaks. Headers-up put
heads on manholes before the still is placed in service.

tags on cars. Those known as topmen work on the loading racks;
attach line on the swing; see that valves are open, and that car is
properly filled; cut off flow of oil; order pumpmen to shut off the
pumps; take samples of what goes into the car; and see that the car
is properly closed and sealed.
Testers.— Make minor tests to see that shipments are uniform in
grade.
Weighers.— Operate special scales for determining the number of
gallons of various products contained in the different packages, bar­
rels, drums, cans, etc.

GENERAL TABLES.

All employees not included in any of the selected occupations of
one of the three industry subdivisions have been combined and
shown as “ Other employees” of the respective subdivisions.
In addition to the summary text tables, six general tables are pre­
sented as follows:

Table A .—Average starts (days on which employees worked) , hours,
and earningsy and per cents that average starts are o f the total workdays
and that average hours actually worked are o f the average full-time hours
per pay-roll period, by occupations and number o f days in pay-roll
period, 1920.
In computing the per cent that the average number of starts (days)
made constitutes of the total number of days in the pay-roll period,
each day or part of a day worked was counted as a start, and if an
employee worked a double turn he was credited with two starts (days),
which explains why the per cent shown in certain cases is in excess of
100. The treating of these fractional parts of days as starts will
explain also why the per cents that average starts are of total workdays
varies materially from the per cents that average hours actually
worked are of the full-time hours in the pay-roll period.
The average earnings per hour for each length of pay period were
obtained by dividing the aggregate earnings of all employees in the
ieriod by the aggregate number of hours worked in the same period,
n computing the average earnings per hour of all employees in ah
occupation having pay periods o f different length it became neces­
sary to weight the averages for the different length pay-roll periods
according to the number of employees covered in the respective pe­
riods. This method of bringing the different length pay-roll periods
to a common denominator has been applied also in working out the
average hourly earnings in each of the several districts as shown in
Table D.
To give a clear understanding of Table A, the first line under
11wells ” will be explained.
The drillers working in the 54 establishments reporting this occu­
pation had different lengths of pay period, running from a 13-day pe­
riod to a full month pay period. Two establishments paid every 13
days; in these establishments there were 37 drillers employed. The
average number of starts made by the drillers within the 13-day
period was 12.5; indicating that some drillers fell short of working
on each day of the pay period. Collectively the drillers averaged
96.2 per cent of the 13 possible starts in the pay period.
The average full-time hours per week for drillers in these two es­
tablishments were 58.4. The average full-time hours in the whole
13-day pay period were 126.5. Out of the 126.5 average full-time
hours of the pay period the drillers actually worked an average of
122.2 hours. Tne next column shows that these drillers worked 96.6
per cent of the full-time hours.
The average actual earnings in this 13-day period were $151.89.
This figure must not be assumed as possible full-time earnings, but
the earnings that were actually made within the time stated. The
average earnings per hour worked were $1,243.

f




GENERAL TABLES.

Some figures are fairly comparable as between the different lengths
of pay period; other figures are not comparable. The average num­
ber of starts made naturally will increase according to the increased
length of the pay-roll period. This increase, however, can not be
expected to be directly proportional to the increased lengths of the pay
period, as a greater turnover of labor must be expected in the longer
pay period. Other factors, however, such as amount of work avail­
able, are also important. The same limitation applies to the per
cent that average starts are of total workdays in the pay period.
The average full-time hours per week are strictly comparable
whatever the length of the pay period. The average full-time hours
of the pay period of course increased with the length of the pay
eriod, as did also average hours actually worked. The latter figure,
owever, is modified by the labor turnover within the pay period.
The average earnings per pay period will naturally increase with
the length of the pay period with a minor offset, however, due to
labor turnover. The average earnings per hour are strictly com­
parable as between the different lengths of pay period.
It will be observed that the totals show only number of establish­
ments, number of employees, average full-time hours per week,
and average earnings per hour.

E

Table B,— Cumulative per cent of employees working customary hours
per day, by occupations
This table presents
number of
establishments in whicl
x ^
ys, six days,
and five days per week, with the average hours per day and average
full-time hours per week of all employees in each of the groups. The
cumulative per cent of the employees working each specified number
of hours per day or less is also shown separately for the seven-day,
six-day, and five-day weeks. Taking “ Drillers” as an example: The
table shows that 46 establishments employed 2,380 men who worked'
or were scheduled to work, seven days per week. Of this 2,380, it
will be seen by reference to Table F (pages 122 to 153) that 819, or 34
per cent had an 8-hour day; that 14 worked 9 hours, which added to
the 819 made 833, or 35 per cent, who worked 9 hours per day or less;
there were 38 who worked 10 hours making 871, or 37 per cent who
worked 10 hours per day or less; while the remaining 1,509 worked
12 hours, accounting for the 100 per cent of the entire 2,380 who
worked 12 hours per day or less. The same method was followed with
the 195 men worldng six days per week. The number in this group
working 10 hours per day did not show a sufficient increase over the
number at 9 hours to change the per cent. B y deduction it is seen
that 79 per cent worked 12 hours per day. This table shows also
summary figures for each of the three industry subdivisions. The
figures for all employees at the wells (page 4) shows 43 per cent of
the seven-day workers having an 8-hour day and 73 per cent working
9 hours per day or less. Fifty per cent of the six-day workers have an
8-hour day. Like figures are shown for all employees on pipe lines
and in refineries. While the distribution takes into consideration a
possible short day during the week, the average hours per day in the
fifth column are based upon the full-time hours per week; in other
words, the average is obtained by dividing total hours per week by
days per week.

WAGES AND HOURS OF LABOR IN PETROLEUM INDUSTRY.

Table C.—Average hours actually worked and average earnings Re­
ceived by employees in each district, by occupations and work days in
pay-roll period, 1920.
This table affords a comparison, within each given pay period, of
the average hours and earnings in the various districts and in the
United States as a whole. Each district is indicated by the names of
the States included. As previously stated, there are only five dis­
tricts for each, the wells and the pipe lines, while there are six for
refineries. The districts for wells and pipe lines are not identical in
every case.
Table D .—Average and classified earnings per hour, by occupations
and districts, 1920.
As indicated in the explanation of Table A, the average earnings
per hour in the occupation were first obtained for each pay period by
dividing the aggregate earnings in the pay period by the aggregate
hours worked in the period and then weighted according to the number
of employees in each period in arriving at the average for each dis­
trict and for the United States as a whole. The table shows the dis­
tribution of employees by hourly earnings for each district and for all
districts combined. The cumulative per cent of the distribution
was computed only for the United States as a whole. The explana­
tion of the cumulative per cent in this table is much the same as that
made in connection with Table B. The distribution of the number
earning $1.50 and over per hour has been taken care of in the
footnotes.
Table E.—Average and specifiedfull-time hours per week, by occupa­
tions, districts, and days per week, 1920.
This table presents separately for the employees working regularly
five days, six days, and seven days per week the average full-time
weekly hours and the distribution by full-time hours per week for
each district and for all districts combined. A cumulative per cent
is shown for the total of each occupation. Explanation of the cumu­
lative per cent is given above.

Table F.— Employees classified by customary days per week and
hours per day, by occupations and districts, 1920.
This table presents for each district and for all districts combined
a distribution of employees working seven days, six days, and five
days per week, with each of these groups further subdivided so as to
show the number working each specified number of hours per day.
For comparative purposes average regular hours per day and per week
are also given. While the distribution takes into consideration a
ossible short-day during the week, the average hours per day are
ased on the full-time hours per week, as explained in connection
with Table B.
