Birth of the plan.


The most of the Smith operations have
been carried on in the metal trade, the
first industry to be organized having been
the manufacture of metal bedsteads, which
happened TO be Mr.. Smiths own line. He
was an apprentice at tender years. went
through every branch of the trade, be-
came a manager, saved his pennies. and
finally at the age of 80 became an en-
ployer on his own account. Profits were
good for a while. and then came the old
story of ruthless competition, attempted
agreement among competitors and secret
cutting of prices. So many agreements
had been made and broken that the trade
got into rather a bad way.
Finally Mr.. Smith, who had been cog
itating on his plan, brought ii forward,
and was laughed at by most of the man
ufacturers He persuaded twelve of them
to join him, however, and at the end of
a year they showed their books to the
others, and most Of the rest of them
came in. The few that remained out
eventually had to come 1t is said to-day
that the bedstead trade is the best or
gained in the United Kingdom, and the
workmen are receiving 30 per cent. bonus
on the wages that were paid to them
when the organization was formed Prices
have been advanced considerably, for ev-
cry one of the fifty-two manufacturers in
the country Is in the combine.
The plan began to attract attention, and
