For the fourth time tlie United States
Steel Corporation offers it employe the
privilege of profit-sharing. The first
time the preferred issues were placed at
their disposal at $82.30 per share;' tlie
second year tlie allotment was at $o5;
last year it had gone up to $87.50. and
this year the preferred i offered at par.
As each employe who holds his stock for
a term of five years get a bonus of five
dollars per share a year, a well a the
regular dividend, it is considered an ex

the fullness of tbe Christmas-tide spirit
in this city; gLJ to realize that its best
and happiest essences are in full play;
and augurs much for the healthier,
heartier and clearer understandings that
ahall ensue from its passage here; and
it finds the vital spark of genuine hap
piness in the undisguised joy of the
children, for in this one line of testi
mony lies the infallible and first value
of the great holiday. When man, and
woman, weary with tlie years and their
burdens, can turn to,tV reflected feli
citations of the young and the innocent,
inevitable result of tbe importation of
contract lubor would be to reduce the
wages of the domestic worker, and that
is why the later protests against a sys
tem which i intended to and would
degrade him to the level of those im
ported from other countries where com
ipensation is crowded close to the level
of subsistence. .
