Former Partner of the Late J.

The laboring men studied, and where they formerly struck for wage increases they Hre today DEMANDING A SHAKE IN THE PROFITS of the large corporations they work for. It is a higher rate of intelligence at work, and, this being so, no arbitrary dollar and cent increase will ever prove satisfactory WE MUST ADOPT A PROFIT SHARING SYSTEM IN CONNECTION WITH WAGES TO GIVE THE WORKER HIS FAIR SHARE. I DO NOT MEAN BONUSES OR ANYTHING THAT SMACKS OF GRATUITIES OR PHILANTHROPIES WHEN I SAY PROFIT SHARING. I MEAN GENU INE PROFIT SHARING BY WHICH EMPLOYEES BECOME PART OWN ERS! BY WHICH A CONCERN MAKES A STATEMENT OF ITS TRANS ACTIONS ANNUALLY, SHOWING ITS PROFITS OR LOSSES AND ALL OTHER FACTORS ENTERING INTO THE SUCCESS OR FAILURE OF ITS BUSINESS. I believe in real, genuine profit sharing by which EMPLOYEES BECOME PARTNERS, by which a given concern makes a complete statements of its transactions annually, showing its profits or losses, its output and all other factors entering into the success or failure of its business, and in this way permits labor and the public to know what the business is doing. Wherever possible the SURPLUS SHOULD BE DISTRIBUTED in the form of a security of some kind thnt is connected with the busi ness in question, with the understanding that the security is to be re tained by the employee for a fixed but reasonable length of time. This places the worker in the position of being AN ACTUAL PARTNER.
