have been thrown in to placate the

the wife came home with several of
these packages under her arm.

"PROFIT SkARING."

The announcement that the $1,000
GOO 600 steel trust will divide its prof
it's with it's many thousands of en-
of trumpets, but it is difficult to see
wherein it amounts to much.
An employe is not assured of wealth
nor even a moderate competence ex-
cept through economy and wisdom in
investing the amounts which he can
withhold cut of his wages, He might
make as much in any other line of
legitimate investment
The steel trust rules. for sq-called
profit sharing are very strict. An
employe must have been in the ser
vice of the trust five. years .before ne
can take advantage of the profit-shar-
ing scheme. At the end of that time
he may agree to purchase shares of
steel trust stock limited in amount
according to his rate Of wages.
The details Of this plan, as to EN-
ployes having greater Or smaller sal
aries and as to other particulars, are
immaterial. 1t all amounts to the
fact that employees of the trust after
FIVE wears of continuous service may
buy steel trust stock in limited
amounts on little better terms than
the open market offers to the public
Employees may buy stock AT price
little under the market price for
the day, but the market is liable to
change. What is under the price for
one day may be above the price for
the next day. They can pay for the
stock in installments, certain per
>'i
until the full payment is made.
While this is an ENCOURAGEMENT to
employees to leave a small part Of their
wages on deposit with their employers
it is no charity to them There is moth
ing altruistic in the scheme. The en-
plo;e could put the savings of his
wages into a bank, draw interest on
the amount for five years and coula
then buy steel trust stock al the mar
l,ct Price if he should be SO inclined.
This .ffer OF profit-sharing >eaano1
be eonfred to steel trust employes.
ANYBODY can buy steel trust stoc}
and take his proportionate share OF
t3e dividends. That is all that is
meant by "proft-sharing. Tie chance
is open to everybody who can go into
the stock market with a little money,
The profits of the steel trust since
twas organized have been enormous,
but what may occur in five years? BY
