An Experiment In Cooperation.

In 1872 large manufacturing firm in New
York called lis workmen together and an
nounced that amer a certain date every
man would receive over and above his
wages share in the profits of the business,
be they more or less, according to the sales.
The men received the statement with iu-
credul,ty and returned TO their work. Six
months passed, and the firm announced
that it had $1,000 to divide among the mon
in proportion to their wages. The imme-
date result of the actual division of the
money was gratifying TO all concerned.
The men resumed work with remarkable
animation and industry.
Every one became jealous of his neigh
boris work, every one became his fellows
overSeer. No idlenoss now, no Zone
handed work." no Sinking and dilatory
pipe-lighling, no guards TO watch for the
brennan, no waste OF material and time.
Never before had so much work been per-
formed in day. never had such skill,
economy, aptitude aud intelligence been
shown at the benches, aud never had bet.
ter goods been made. The men were ap-
parently satisfied, and the firm was more
than compensated for the increased outlay
by the improved quality of the goods. Sew,
eral months passed, aud the house an.
nOunced that in 4 few weeks it would have
a surplus of ten Thousand dollars to divide
among the workmen.
Suddenly led away by some epidemic o
unreason, the men struck for a reduction
Of time TO eight hours. The proprietor
would not consent TO this, and as conse
quence for two weeks the shops were clos
ed. In vain were the men shown the mon
ey coming TO them in vain was it demon
stratod that they were making mole than
men in the same line in other shops. The,
