made at dinner given to the employees
at the Metropolitan hotel. There were
addresses and toasts at the banque1,
and a member Of the firm said the
proprietors cheerfully parted with a
share Of the gains in order to begst In
the employees q sense of pr Jprietor-
ship In the business. The class OF men
employed may be inferred from an incl
dent which occurred at the dinner.
One of the firm called upon every man
and boy who was spending less than
he earned to stand up, wh?n nearly
every person present got up.
The principal of proft-sharing is-a
correct one, and rightly applied will
go far towards reconciling the differ
ences between labor and capital. If
labor can be made to understand that
it gets an equitable share of the profits
from itself, that capital is fair and not
greedy and grinding, there will be more
cCntentment.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1889-01-31
REASONABLE REQUEST.

The request OF the street railway
company seems reasonable enough.
The company asks for an extension OF
its franchise to the end of its corporate
existence. This will be granted. as a
matter of course, for no reason can be
presented why it should not be. The
Council could not consistently refuse,
any more than it could ask the COM
pany to tear up its track and 60 out of
bueiness at the termination of the
period for which the franchise was or
iginslly granted. The only thing that
the Council may hesitate about is the
reduction of taxes asked for, and that is
such trifling matter that it would be
little less than downright meanness, to
grant it, in view of the money repre-
scented in the proposed improvement
and of the bstter accommodation
which will bs provided for the
public. The reduction asked for would
amount to but few hundred dollars
at most, and would be made up over
and over again by the increased value
which the assessor would attach to
property by reason of the electric road
TIE HERALD hopes the Council will
promptly grant the prayer Of the petit
toner in the interest Of the public.
Aside from the immediate expenditure
of large sum of money for making
the improvements, an electric street
railway will do much for the city. It
will help slong the progressive move
msnt, and greatly add to the public
and accommodation.

UNEMPLOYED LABOR.

"We have a million or more men in
this country who are idle, the labor
market is glutted and the labor prob
lem is a grave, important and very
serious matter" says the New York
Herald. Rich in undeveloped resources
as this country Isl the problem OF an
over-supply of labor presents itself,
and instead of sending abroad for
workingmen, our own workers must
think of looking elsewhere for oppor-
tunities to earn their living in obedi
ence to the divine command, by the
sweat of their brows. And yet, ugly
as the outlook is for the men who toll,
the protected" manufacturers are
bringing in hundreds of the
men of the old world who are
so much poorer than our own
citizens that they are glad to work for
lower wages than the American will
accept. Furthermore. by tariff laws
which shut Us out of the markets of the
world, we let our resources so undevel-
oped. With an increased foreign trade
American workingmen would not be
idle, for there would be profit in the
manufactured products. As long as we
impose an almost prohibitory tax on
everything which comes into the coun
try. we need not expect that other
countries will accept what we produce
and if there is no market for our pro
ducts, men cannot be employed in
manufactures.

PROFIT-sHAKING.

Last week occurred the third annual
division of profits among thesmployees
of the great clothing. house of Rogers,
Pset & Co., New York. When the 6rm
insugurated the system of profit
sharing. the plan was new aud the 'trlal
was experimental The desire of the
managers was to encourage the en-
ployees to fsithfulness and induce them
to work for the best interest of the
house. The men were informed that a
certain amount of capital was invested
in the business, from which the owners
desired TO receive q fair interest, and
that after the interest had been paid
the profits. if any, would be shared
among the men equitahly in proportion
to their wages. 1t was, therefore, to
the advantage of every one to make the
profits as large as possible. each person
abort the place feeling that he was in
o3e sense 8 proprietor. Since then
there has been no Trouble with the
three hundred employees sof Rogers,
Peet & Co. There has bean content
ment among them, and they have all
done their utmost for the house.
Every year there have been profits
to divide among them, the profits
last week amounting to
3L per cent. on the salary of every
man. The statement was read
and the announcement of the dividend

DIFFERENT CARS.

We most heartily endorse the
following opinion expressed by
the New Berne Journal:
We have no complaint to make of
any particular road, indeed 50 far as
we know there is no room for it, but
we wish to endorse the suggestion,
made by some of our COntempora-
ries, that equal and separate accom-
m0dations be furnished for whites
and co!Ored people on all the roads.
A first-ciass ticket should entitle the
holder to the best accommodations
furnished by the road, and in order
to avoid the cOmmingling tf the
two racse, different cars of the same
class should be on every train. One
of these cars should be for the whites
and the other should be exclusively
for the coiored people. 1t is not fair
to force n man holding Il first-class
ticket to take Il second class car, to
say nothing OF the Inconvenience
and discomfort that sometimes arlS-
cs under the present arrangement.
1t is an outrage f0r corpora
tion to force an unpleasant and
disgusting specimen of social
equality upon us.
