CINCINNATI, o., April 16.-A great manu-
featuring company, which employs over
ST. 900 capital and above POO workmen
made its second semi-annual division of
profits with its employees Saturday. Six
months ago, when it began this system, it
divided so, 900 between 200 employees, while
Saturday it divided about $4,000 between
the same number. The plan thus far works
to the delight of all concerned, and is pro-
noting the best of feeling between employer
and employee. On Saturdays, the year round,
