EXPERIENCE IN PROFIT SHARING

EAI IEhIENCE In PhOEII SHA RINf.
In the discussion of means for attain
ing an equitable distribution of wealth
greater economy in production, and
industrial peace. profit sharing has
received some consideration. But the
principle is not generally understood, !,
aud for this reason the plan has made
comparatively little progress. Such as
it has made, however, has been notably
successful. A valuable contribution to
popular instruction regarding profit
sharing is book recently issued, in
which the principle is fully explained
and the results Of experience in its
application set forth.
Profit sharing contemplaJes the di-
vision of productive forces into three
agents-capital, manageme.v and
labor-and the division among them of
The profits of the business. Capital re-
ceives the current rate of interest, man
agement the prevailing salaries, and
labor the prevailing wages. All above
the amount required for the satisfaction
of these demands is divided among
laborers and managers, according to the
worth of each as measured by wages
and salaries, less a certain sum to be set
aside for a repair and risk fund. AS
generally practiced, the laborer is as
sured of his regular wages, whether the
business pays or not. When times are
good, he participates in the profits,
while in bad times he suffers no Loss
beyond that of the possible and variable
bonus.
This simple plan, it is claimed, and
experience has demonstrated, dulls the
sharp edges of competition, ide nti-
fies the employe with the busi-
ness, making him to all pur-
poses partner with none of the risks
of partnership, increases the quantity
and improves the quality Of the pro-
duct, promotes care and economy in the
use of implements and materials, di-
minishes labor difficulties and lessons
the cost of superintendence. The sue
cessful application of this plan has in
dubitaply established these results.
Proft-sharing was first introduced in
it is at present more generally on trial
in that country than elsewhere, and it
has also been most successful there.
There are notable instances of profit
sharing having been of the greatest
possible benefit to both employees and
employers. Some of the wealthiest es-
tablishments in France date the be-
ginning of their progress from the
adoption of proit-sharing. Yet
Notwithstanding the well-attested
benefits of the system, in the
nearly half century since it received
it's first trial there are only one hun
dred and seventy-three. cases recorded,
thirty-two OF which are in the United d
States. There have been one hundred
and thirty-seven successes and thirty
six failures, one-fourth of the failures
being due to causes having no relation
to the principle OF proft-sharing. Ger
tainly system that shows more tn an
four successes for every failure, even
with the limited trial this plan has re-
celved cOmmends itself as worthy of
attention and serious consideration.
That it would prove in general practice
to be complete solution of the labor
problem is rot to be supposed, but there
is every reason to believe that it's ex-
tensive adoption would have a decided
tendency to promote industrial peace.

An Il minent Citizen Gone.
Grant EntGiyrise.


His leaving will be a terrible
blow to Perkins county, whose safe existence
without him is a matter of grave apprehen-
sion. When he is gone there will be no
check upon ouuawry and thugism. The
Woolmans. the Finks, the Smiths, the Clarks
and the Devnneys are already becoming
bold, arrogant and insulting. They may be
expected to kick and pull the boards of every
man whom they find unarmed and against
whom their displeasure may be directed
When he is gone the bulwark of moral rectI
tude is utterly destroyed, the levee of our
local security is demolished, and the waves
of corruption, infamy, outrage and ruin will
sweep over and engulf us all. But If he
must go we bid him farewell with as much
frmness as 1t is possible for us to command
under such heartrendng circumstances. AS
touching mementO of his departed glory
let him take with him the pinnacle of fame
upon which he last perched.

In Ft. Pierre for eight or ten years will

from officials of the interior department
which state that the people over there
have no recognizable right to the land
whereon they are settled, and that the
land where the town is situated belongs
TO the government, and will be opened FOR
settlement in the same manner as the rest
of the reservation lands; provided, how
ever, that the Northwestern Railroad Co.
does not accept the mile square on the
conditions heretofore agreed to between
the company and the government. The
adyices also add that the company is
certain to take the land, as it has recently
signifed its intention of SO doing. But
the information clearly states that in
either case the settlers will be compelled
to vacate tine reservation entirely"

on the reservation, who said they were
going to stay there all winter, and, the
