SUBSTITUTE FOR WAGE SYSTEM.

Carroll D. Wright, labor commissioner, says
the wage system is doomed, and he gives SUBJ
stitute. Says he:
"The wage system will pass away. 1t is, as
as has been shown, unsatisfactory in many of
its applications. 1t depends too largely for its
equities upon the generosity and great-minded-
ness of employers.
"The system that will take the place of that
under which mere wages are paid probably
will be composed of the pro6t-shering and co.
operation plans. The work people will then
acquire the interest of investors: the more
capable will rise to their opportunities and the
less worthy will find their level"
Mr.. Wright voices the sentiment of many
other prominent men who have been studying
the wage question. All of them say that CO.
operation will take the place of the present
