CHRISTMAS FESTIVITY AT
THE BOHEMIAN CLUB
sponse to Fitting Invitation OF
President j. ID. PheIan.

President j. d. Phelan.
Bohemia was in a blaze of festive
glory last night in honor Of the Christ
mas high jinks.' The clubrooms, ap-
propriately decorated, were thronged
with members. The attendance was
about the largest In the history of the
club.
The magnitude Of the throng was
due in a measure to the very clever
and fitting invitation Of the president,
James D. Phelan, which contained the
announcement that Governor Pardee,
John Mcknight, Justice Henshaw and
Judge Sloss would be seen and heard.
II was the verdict of the listeners that
the sire made an excellent selection OF
contributors and 1t was likewise the
general opinion that the low jinks,
a genial burlesque of ben Hur," was
one of the most captivating sketches
ever placed on the stage of Bohemia.
The audience was highly pleased.
Some of the most pleased of the guests
offered to buy wine for Will Irwin.
]. C. Wilson and other directors of the
exhibition and their generosity was
not permitted to go begging.

CARROLL D, WRIGHT
PROFIT SHARING IN ITS STEAD
Together With Cooperative Ideas viii
Rule Industries.

Philadelphia, Dec 15,-"l'he wag.
system will pass away. In its stead,
believe, there will come a system
which will be composed Of the profit
sharing and the cooperation ideas.
"The employer must consider his
employee, as well as the stakeholder, a.
an investor"
These words we're contained in an
address upon ".rhe Wage Question, y
made by Carroll D. Wright, United
States commissioner 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
Colonel Wright's approval Of a plan to
insure labor against incapaci'7 result
ing from accident, illness or advancing
age. The German idea was quoted,
under which the employer pays one
fourth the cost Of a sick and death
benefit policy, tile employe one-fourth
and the government one-half.
"Capital charges to the consumer
the depreciation Of property and ma
chi1ery. Why should not the depre-
citation Of labor's machinery, It's hands,
its, brains, Its body, b. included in the
final cost?
1--WE see in every progressive com
munity that the demand Of the work.
ing men is no longer for a wage sufi-
cient to enable him to keep body and
soul together Labor has been taught
to feel that it is q social as well as an
economic power In the community,
and this educating process has gone
on until the demand Of labor is for a
reasonable margin beyond that fixed
by the iron law Of wages
"lhe wage system will pass away.
1t is unsatisfactory in many Of it's ap.
plications, ltdepends too large for,.its
equities upon the generosity and great
mindedness Of employers. That there
are many such who would scorn to in
fuence the votes Or actions Of their EN-
ployes, and who would be incapable Of
taking petty or great advantage Of
their workmen, is happily true. That
there are others, however, who make
use OF these opportunities proves the
weakness Of the system and argues for
o greater measure Of independence for
those who labor.
"rhe system that will take the place
Of that under which mere wages are
paid probably will be composed Of the
proit-sharing and cooperation plans,
The working people will then acquire
the interest Of investors, the more cap.
able will rise to their opportunities,
and the less worthy will find their
level"
