capital and labor to agree on sons piSn
which will more nearly hafmoniss thcm d,
their efforts. Study Of the question: causes
vide the net profits equally between them s
would be efficient. From the prooeeds OF
the business let capital first receive = Der

that has been paid, the net profit aro 10
be equally divided.
The II per cent which capital 70 fyst to

ceive Its regular wages and not b called

LABOR'S PROCEEDS.
TN the distribution of labor's rharo OF
the profits the plan would be to nay each
Individual emHloye an equal share Of the
the character Of his work. This 10 Just, be-
cause the skilled laborer Is earninI more.
and Is thus paid for his superior skili All
should share alike because the work would
not progress without both classes any more
than labor would without capital.
Let the division Of profits or settlements
be made annually. or at distribution periods
best applied to each particular enterprise.
In this connection we are confronted with
the determining Of the relative value Of
capital and labor. Since one IL not able 10
proceed without the other, Il seems rea-
sonable to assume that they are equal IF
this is the case, would It not be Justice to
divide equally the net proceeds Of their
combined energies, wisdom and skill7
Capital would. doubtless, make less
money under such an agreement. but ie
would have q much surer foundation on
which to build. Profits sacrificed BY max
ing this division would, In my opinion be
for by the increased produc-
tiveness Of labor and the assurance that
there would be no moro labor troubles
Friends Of this plan do not claim per-
lection for Il. but believe II . step In the
right direction. 1t does not make labor
q joint stakeholder. but proflt-sharer. thus
In no wise depriving the capitalist Of hie In
dividuality In the conduct Of his business
