Admiral Cotton is known to be an officer who shows
exceptional courtesy and kindness to his men. and in
the second place cruelty to enlisted is and has
always been practically unknown in the American
Navy. The most reasonable explanation of the re-
ported dcsertions is given by the naval officials
at Washington. is that number of left

A Cooperative Failure.

Providence Journal: The announce
ment from Pittsburg that the Ameri-
can Window Glass company has with
drawn its. project of dividing 5000
shares of stock among It's employees
can hardly be called failure of
stock-sharing plan. The scheme was
promulgated in 1901, and the company
made no secret that 1t was part OF
bargain to secure certain promises
from the Window Glass Workers as
sociation, through its president, Si-
mon Burns. In return for the offer
Burns was to furnish sufficient
skilled labor to keep the works run
ming during the summer months. and
thus lay up surplus which would
help the company control the market
for window glass. The men wanted
to work as they pleased, and the dis
satisfied ones withdrew to form an
other association. Burns was made
director of the company. but was un-
able to carry out his agreement
While the plan fell through six
months ago, official announcement
was not made of the fact until last
week. The stock was quoted at SO
when the plan was abandoned, but
Burns insisted that the men had an
opportunity to make something and
threw it away.
