EMPLOYEES SHARE IN PROFITS.

Efforts 10 Advance His Workmen.
DIR. w. II. Tolman tells in the Century
Of what has been done. in connection
with certain great industries, i'll acknowl-
edgment of the employees neral right to
something more than wages.
1t has been impossible to give more
than an outline of what is being done in
typical industries, but it is the firm belief
of the writer that there is a genuine de-
sire on the part of many others to do
something for their people, if they can
be shown the first step. To a large
class of employers there is always the
question, will it pay? BY way of an
of an English captain of industry, who
had invested f250,000 in cottages,
schools. club buildings, small parks, gar
dens and recreation grounds in his indus
trial village near Liverpool.
Whatever | have done planned not
on the basis of charity or philan" hropy,
but on the principle that what they re-
ceiTed was their rightfuI share, and
when they were in the works they made
full and ample return. I have conciud-
ed that | must share the prosperity of
my business with those who have helped
me TO make it. II was not question of
profit-sharihg, for if the flow of checks
ceases there is always dissatisfaction and
ill-feeling. | think, therefore, that the
best thing ! can do is 10 provide decent
houses for the workmen. because it is my
decision that those who have helped in
the prosperity of my business sha feel
some of that prosperity in their lives. In
the schools, houses, recreation grounds a
quarter of a million sterling has been
spent, for which there is n0 direct re-
turn. l am convinced that although
there is no direct return. this
money could not have been invest

I'm shore / 'preciate yore kindness"
said Fulton, awkwardly pushing a chair
to the side of the bed.
Yes, do set down an rest. You
shorely must be petered out with all the
work you've had to do"
The door closed and Fulton was left
alone with his wife. The baby still cooed
ing his wife's hand, his eyes on the men
in the field and the baby on the floor.
1t was Sunday morning. Fulton, the
baby ON his knee, sat on the doorstep
looking across the valley to where the
housetopS and spire of the village church
had glistened in the sun. He had been
gazing some time through the simmer
ing air that lay above the fields, when
he turned and spoke TO his wife.
''Mollie, would you mind if leave you
a couple of hours with the chldren?"
Why. no, Zeb; but where are you go
ing roday?"
II thought would go over and hear
the ParsOn."
Again the sun was sinking behind the
fringe of woods along the ridge. The
trees made long DIack shadows across the
cotton tpatch, now white as field of
snow, with its millions of bursting bolls.
Fulton and his wife stood by the rail
fence viewing the promising prospect.
The baby played about its mothers knee
and the children gazed out toward the
golden sunset
Fulton put his arm about his wife and
drew her closer TO him. AS he kissed the
upturned brow the sun gilded for a mo-
lnent their barred heads.

movement. today's receipts being 250.000
bushels larger than last year, and an
increase Of about 400, 900 bushels in local

The nearby deliveries in corn were
strong, December showing an advance OF

buyers in the former delivery and Janu-
ary was in fair request from both fhoTts
and investors. The latter bought on the
belief that there is little possibility OF
the contract grade increasing materially,
owing to the poor condition of present
receipts. Todays carlots were 775 with
no contract The May delivery was in
demand by shorts early, but eased later

Oats were very dull with only slight

Provision values yielded moderately
under a continued liberal hog movement

mand. The bull interest in lard gave
some support to prices. The closing was
