Announcement . lias been made by
the Union Oil Company of California
that a four reel moving picture de
picting, through tho medium of an
interesting story, the safety precau
tions, in force in the California oil
fields, will be loaned free of charge to
any organization or theatre wishing
to show It.
) The picture, which is called "When
: Wages Stop" was produced in the oil
fields, some months ago by the major
rproducing. oil companies of the state.
I Well known motion picture actors
and actresses took part.
j : Ih connection with the picture and
the safety precautions which it shows
jare being taken by oil companies, it Js
interesting to note that the general
conception of danger of working in
! the oil fields is much over-rated.
Statistics show that, over a period of
five years, with around 100,000 men
employed, only 98 casualties resulted.
Accident figures for several large cit
ies show that It is four and one-half
times more dangerous to walk tho
city streets than to work in the oil
fields.
Requests for the loan of the film
will be received and taken care of In
the order of their receipt by Chester
W. Brown, director of exploration and
production, Union Oil company of
California, 510 Union Oil Building,
Los Angeles.
