BIG DINNERS GIVEN BY CORPORATIONS.
N SCHTVAB HAS ALWAYS BEEN IN ARET
TOR OF THIS SORT OF JOLLITY.

Twenty years ago the president of big COM
pany the owner of big business or industry,
would as soon have thought of asking his sub
ordinate heads of departments to spend the
summer at his country home as of giving them
formal dinner once or twice a year. Now the
dinner giving practice is so common that it is
almost taken for granted. The big corporations
Of the country give annual dinners to heads of
departments which cost thousands of dollars
Even mercantile firms. small in comparison
are in the habit of meeting their chief employees
around the dining board
There are several reasons for this interesting
Development In the first place, Americans are
learning to enjoy the formal dinner, with its
elaborate menu. it's wine and it's speeches.
Then the capitalist has come more and more to
realize how much of his success is due to his
heads of departments. Oftentimes he gives
them interest in the concern or corpora
ton, and Immediately they begin to work for
themselves as we'll as for the company. Any
thing that will bind them closer to the employ
er's interests is not overlooked, and a dinner
once in a while is one of these.
No corporation official has figured more promi-
nentIy in official dinners of this sort than
Charles NJ Schwab, who last week resigned as
president of the United States Steel Corporation.
He has always been in close personal touch with
the presidents of the subordinate companies Of
the great steel combination and with the heads
of departments A year and a half ago Pitts
burg was startled by the magni6cence of a COM
plmentary dinner which the officials of the vari-
Gus companies gave for Mr.. Schwab at the
Hotel Schenley. 1t was known as the SlOO
dinner, for the total expense figured nearly that
much plate. The decorations were most elab-
crate. The table was horseshoe shaped and
loaded with candles.
The presidents of the various companies sat at
the curve of the horseshoe. The men and the
offices they held then were President Buffng-
ton of the Illinois Steel Company. President
w. E. Graham OF the American Tin Plate Com
pany. President Charles NJ. Schwab of the
United States Steel Corporation. Presiden> G. G.,
McMurtry of the American Sheet Steal Com
pany President w. e. Corey of the Carnegie
Steel Company, President Frank j. Hearne of
the National Tube Company, President Thomas
Lynch of the H C. Frick Coke Company and
President A. J. Majors of the American Bridge
Company.
The dinner was repeated in his honor early
in the year. Mr. Schwab was then in Europe
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1903-08-09

for his health, and unable to be present There
was no lack of evidence of his popularity, for
toasts to him were cheered to the echo This
second dinner was given at the Duauesne Club
in Pittsburg 1t is probable that Mr.. Corey will
be similarly hOnored.
One of the most interesting annual dinners of
this sort is that given by the Fisheries Com
pany, of this city. The company has enor-
nous fleet of menhaden fishing tugs connected
with its various stations along the Atlantic
Coast, from Maine to North Carolina The cap
tains of these vessels are invited once a year
to come to New-York and dine with the presi-
dent and other officers of the company. The
gruf old dogs travel hundreds of miles for
this dinner, which is with them the affair of the
year That it makes them more keen for the
company's interest the officers have not a
doubt.
Several of the large department stores of the
city give annual dinners not only TO heads of
departments but to all their regular employees.
The dinners are served sometimes in the base
ment of the stores or in a neighborng restau-
rant. They are looked forward to with pleasure
There is a tendency on the part of boards of
directors 10 hold their meetings before luncheon
and then take the meal together. Even the
New-York Chamber of Commerce finds it de-
sirable to serve an Ella borate luncheon after its
regular meetings. Any change in the high off,
