J, 5, Steel Corporation Insta||s a System That Is Liberal
 and Unique'
EVERY MAN HAS CHANCE
 10 SHARE IN PROFITS
At Present the Corporation and sub- sidiary Companies Employ About 168,oO0 den, Divided Into
 Six Classes.

New York, December 31.-In double circular, one to the stockholders and the other to the officers and employees, the United States Steel corporation announces its intention to install system whereby the humblest workman on it's rolls may if he desires, become permanent stocK- holder and share in the profits or the corporation.
 The scheme is the result of months or preparations by the finance committee or the corporation, and the circulars are signed by George Perkins, chairman. The plan is said to have originated with MT. Perkins.
 The circular to the stockholders point out the apparent advantage of the plan which was devised with equal fairness to every man, from the president or the steel corporation itself to the man with pick and shovel working for one or the subsidiary companies The circular goes on to say that at this time there are about 55 1000 stockholders, who, 1t is be- lieved would feel a greater sense of se- curity in the corporations earning power if they knew that officers and managers generally were willing to enter into a contract by which part of their compensa- ton were paid only after tle realization of sS0.0Oo,OOO of profits. This represents interest on bonds, dividends on stocks and reserve for sinking funds.
 The plan inviting officers and employees to participate is divided into two parts. Part one prescribes that from the earn ings of the corporation during the year 1902 there will have been set aside at least s2000, GOO, and as much more as Is needed, for the purchase of at least 25,00O shares of preferred stock, which will be offered as follows to employees of the corporation and constituent cDmpafties.
