WAGE SYSTEM
 WILL PASS AWAY"
CorroII D. Wright Delivers sn
 Interesting Address
HIGHER STANDARD NEEDED
Commissioner of Labor Says the Elm poyer Must Conside. His Elm ploye as We'll as the Stock
 holders, as an Investor.

Philadelphia, December 13.-"The wage system will pass away. In It's stead be- lieve there will come a system which will be composed of the proht-sharing and the cooperation idea. The great labor ques- tion means the struggle of humanity for a higher standard of life. The employer must consider his employe, as well as the stockholder, as an investor"
 The words were contained in an address upon "The Wage Question:" made today by Carroll D. Wright, United States com missioner of labor, before the Society of Ethical Culture of this city.
 Of scarcely less interest than his pre- diction of a new labor system. was Col onel Wright's approval of a plan to in- sure labor against incapacity, resulting from accident, illness or advancing age. The German idea was quoted. under which the employer pays one-fourth the cost of sick and death benefit policy. the em- ployes one-fourth and the government one-half
 England Has Taken It Up.
 England" said Colonel Wright, has taken up this question, and we, of the United States, are steadily approaching it."
 Continuing, Colonel Wright said:
 Capital charges to the consumer the depreciation of property and machinery. Why should not the depreciation of la- bors machinery, its hands, It's brains, its body be included In the final cost?
 We see in every progressive commu- inc demand nf hn tFaft ftlrit, is no longer for a wage sufficient to en- able him to keep body and soul together
 'Lamor has been taught to feel that 1t is social as we'll as an economic power in the community, and this educating pro- cess has gone on until the demand of la bor is for reasonable margin beyond that fixed by the iron law of wages.
 Wage Syste.l Will Pass Away.
 "The wages system will pass away. It is, as has been shown, unsatisfactory in many of it's applications. It depends too largely for its equities upon the generos- ity and great-m -mindedness of employers That there are many such who would scorn to Influence the votes or actions of their employees, and who would be inca pable of asking petty or great advantage of their workmen is happily true. That there are others. however. who make use of these opportunities, proves the weak ness of the system, and argues for a greater measure of independence for those who labor.
 'The system that will take the place of that under which mere wages are paid probably will be composed of the profit sharing and cooperation 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"

ST. BERNARD ENTERTAINMENT.
Interesting Programme Rendered on
 the Eve of Thanksgiving.

St Bernard. Nov. 26.-(Special.)-Th St Bernard Dramatic and Glee club gave it's first public entertainment of the season on Thanksgiving Eve.
 A very interesting as well as amusing programme was rendered so well that ap- plause was liberal and vociferous
 William J. Gallagher Thomas McVeigh and J. Mckay were especially happy in rendering their characters to the taste of the audience.
 The songs rendered by the glee club were selected with much taste and the quartette especially had to reappear after each song.
 The ridiculously comic farce, Box and Cox" John Mckay acting the former and Fred Schmidt as Cox, took the house by storm.
 Though the weather was decidedly in- element a goodly crowd of people, the best of Cullman society, honored the hap py occasion with their presence, and to judge from the applause and the cheerful faces after the last drop of the curtain none regretted having braved a cold high wind, and were loath to leave when St. Bernard's excellent orchestra, which came up to it's usual high standard, played Under the Double Eagle" as a finale.
