The Workman Getting the Value Of Hi.
Labor.

The London Daily News has the following:
wood and MethIey colleries, worn out with a
long series OF disputes with their workmen,
and reduced TO point when the question lay
only between closing their pits altogether or
introducing some totally new system, made
the proposal Of an arrangement for CO.
operative working. They offered to the men
that after providing for wages at the current
securing a rate of ten per cent. interest on the
capital sunk. the surplus profits should be
anL uaily ascertained and divided 60 ually
between masters and men. 1t was also pro-
posed that such OF the men as thought fit might
put their own small savings into the concern
and become shareholders. The proposal was
discussed and accepted, and it has now been
acted on for two years.
1.-The second general meeting of the new
hrm-Messrs. Henry Briggs, Son and Com
pany, Qimited)-wa held on Monday last, and
1t was highly satisfactory. After paying the
ten per cent ON capital, there was a surplus OF
seven per cert. TO be divId, d between capital
and labor. Every workman shared in this
bonus in proportion to the amount of wages he
had received during the year There was about
twelve hundred hands employed, and there
was more than $500 to be thus distributed:
therefore, there would have been an average of
f2 10 per head, supposing all had eq ual quail
ncations and all had worked regularly. As il
is, we may presume that the sup.rio skilled
workman received considerably larger sums,
and that lads or new hands may have made
only few shillings. But in every lse it was
pure gain. Those who were shareholders
reaped thirteen and a-half per cent. interest
besides. Those who We're not already share-
holders were offered a new opportunity OF
taking shares, and SO participating stIll more
largely In future profits. Every one has natu-
rally been satisfied, and strikes have disap-
peared.
This is an emnently encouraging result
The experiment was tired under the gravest
difficulties. Not merely had there been long
standing disputes, but there had grown up a
permanent bad feeling between men and m rs.
tiers. The men We're careless, If not worse, even
when they did work, and destroyed more coal
than proper working would have required.
The masters were upon the point of withdraw
ing the capital from so losing q concern. Yet
In two years not only is harmony restored, but
the capital makes thirteen and half per cent
net, while the men are paid several pounds a
year beyond their wages. This result shows
of itself how it was brought to pass. Not only
did the men work harder, and so better earn
their wages, but they worked more carefully.
