War supply chain supports oil transport and refining

Deputy Ralph K. Davies notes Standard Oil and affiliates aid in moving and producing vast oil supplies. The statement highlights robust wartime logistics and energy support across fronts.

Wartime Industry Workers Support War Effort Across Plants

In wartime effort, dozens of companies pool 73 years of experience and skilled labor. Laboratories produced 100 octane fuel synthetic rubber and TNT precursors. Refineries deliver vital petroleum products to supply invasion forces. Employees show strong devotion with no strikes since before Pearl Harbor. About 6,222 workers joined the fighting forces while 47,842 remain at home backing them up.
