TO AID EMPLOYEES.

A New Scheme " the W. L. Douglas Sh %
Gown E'arnisb Their Help with Ned
ical Attendance.
William L. Douglas, the president of the
world famed W. L. Douglas Shoe Co., has
always had great personal interest in the
army OF men and women who inhabit the
great factory at NJ ontello during the work
ing hours of the day, and whs make the
greatly advertised IS shoe.
he IS great believer In the idea that
manufacturers should have this personal
interest in the condition of their employees
and feels that if the idea is carried out 70
the extent that is possible, that it will result
ultimately In the breaking down of the bar
riers which have been bul It up between en-
ployers and those whom they employ. he
believes that the breaking down Of these in
visible but strong barriers would be great
thing FOR everybody conce rned, as 1t WOULD
convince the workin gmen that their en-
ployers were not their enc mics, as some OF
them seem to think now, but their friends,
with a desire to do all for them that was IN
their power.
Having strong feelings upon this point. it
is only natural that Mr.. Douglas should give
the matter some study and acquaint him
self with the result of the trials of such
plans in other places. He is satisfied that
the scheme he has orig mated is good oEer
and he mas now put it to practical test.
To-day he handed to every person in his
enploy-and they form small army-a
card, a fac-simile of which is here given:
