CORPC NATIONS no HAVE SOULS

HAVE SOULS
 Continued evidence comes 10 Bisbee that corporations do have souls. None better than the generous and yolunta- " act of Professor Douglas in orcer- ang a reduction in the rates on the actual necessities of life and dear to every mining man and his family, namely on sugar, -four and coal oil. Standing at the head, and we say this 7dvisedly. of probably one of the larg- es: private corporations in the world m the industrial line, this busy man had time to think of the thousands of men away up here in the gulches of she mountains and the main sub- stances of their existence and by one world place the necessities of life a little nearer the obtaining by those who arc upon the company's pay rolls Pro fessor Douglas is a very busy man Individually. His duties are simply multitudinons. The variety of the in serests controlled by the Phelps Dodge people extend to every quarter of the globe, and yet thousands of miles away from Bisbee this grand old man thought of his men away out here and 1n the very moment he arrives in Bis bee, takes the rate knife and almost chops the tariff or the articles most nGedef by them in twain.
 What an ideal concern is the Copper Queen. What an ideal camp is Bis bee-and We still like to apply the word camp to Bisbee-for despite her sulphur fumes ard her angel flights of steps, Bisbee has some peculiar fascination for any one who has ever kveG within her hills Every month this Copper Queen Consolidated Min ing company, Of which Professor Doug Sas is the executive head. pays out in cash to their help approximately sl5o.- n00. Never asks a man what he Is going to do with his money. where he fs going 10 spend a penny of il, nor what his purposes are, nctwithstanG- the big store of the company stands there an invitation for them 10 come Tn ard patronize it's departments. il IS optional with the miner where he chooses 10 spend his money His job, if he is steady and reliable workman, is there for him the next morning after pay day as before. Ev- cry day in the year IS heard and seen the dinrer pail brigade marching tl and fro from their work. and three times in every twenty-four hours may be seen the blue buckets in the hanos of sturdy, hearty, healthy well dressed mel who go down into the bowels ol the earth only to come forth eigh hours later with another three dollar! and q. half 10 six and seven dollars t' their credit that he did not posses eighth ours before.
 Not a labor disturbance has eve darkered the fair sky of Bisbees work men Not difference has ever aris en among the workmen in this gool old camp that has not been immediate Iy adjusted. There is a reason for this M is to be found in the very Iact tha there are corporations with souls.
 The many acts of good will toward the employees by the officials of thi sreat company are too well known [ require reference here. such as tn hospital, reading room, handsome gym nasium, church, and kindred affair that attest the happy relationship bt their vocation. Men are treated a are treated like men, no matter wha his vocation. Men are treated a though they had souls, whether the stand at the head of department are engaged in the lower walks ( life, midst the grime and soot and dii of the necessary works, because th corporation itself has a soul.
 It would be well if corporations els' where were to simply treat their hei as though they possessed that hidde spirit which exists in the frame ( every human being, and like the vii ing horse, how much more rapidly an easily would be moved the load give to humanity to bear. Bisbee has th most conspicuous example in the coul try that corporations do have souE and the workingmen of Bisbee apprec ate that fact.
