EMPLOYEES SHARE IN PROFITS.


The announcement in the Chleftain
yesterday morning to the effect that
the American Smelling and Refining
company has just distributed approx
lmately 100000 to its employees as
their share in the profits of the insti-
tuition was welcome news and empha-
sized the denial recently published by
the Chieftain that the smelters were
about TO be closed down in this city.
1t is estimated that about half OF
the entire amount was distributed to
employees of the Pueblo plants of the
company.
The distribution proves that the
plants are running at comfortable
margin OF profit, and that any rnmors
of possible suspension of operations
are absolutely without foundation in
fact.
What Is true OF the smelling Indus
try of the city is also true to a large
extent of the Industries of this sec
tion whether allied with the smelling
business or otherwise.
Regular employment of the people
hllu lnt lfdhblhhA' fApf'l'Ni''' ''''-'''7
therefrom is sure to have an encour-
aging effect upon the mercantile in
terests of the city A well conditioned
working class is the surest Indicate N
of healthy state of retail trade and
business in general.
The employe that realizes that the
success and advancement of his EN-
non x.
lit to himself Is inspired to greater ei-
fort and more conscientious work day
by day
The quality of the employees results
is enhanced and he is made to feel
that there is a common ground upon
which both he and his employer may
stand. The employer may live in
mansion. while the employe may boast
of nothing more than modest cot
tage which he rents from stranger
Nevertheless, there Is bond between
the two, which. overlooking distinc'
tions of wealth and education. places
them upon an equal footing. The
prosperity OF the one means proper
tionate prosperity for the other. Loss
10 one means a CpiISspoh"liS i'SS w
the other.
The share in the profits may not al
ways be in the form of dividends. 1t
may come in the way of shorter hours,
greater latitude in labor, libraries
parks. clubs, outings, etc, at the eN
pense of the management. No matter
in what form the share may come
the fact remains that the best work
and the greater loyalty Is secured by
the community of interest element

FOREST FIRES IN MAINE.

Last year Maine. like some other
eastern states, had the most disas-
trous fires in It's history. A timber
land area of more than a quarter mil
lion acres was burned over, entailing
n loss beyond million dollars.
Drought, Unprecedented in severity,
had prevailed from April to June ..
and the forests were in most infiam-
mable condition. There were within
sixty days 2G0 different fires in the
burned-over districts In strong con
trast with the experience of New York
in the Adirondacks, only three of
these are positively known to be of in
cendary origin Maine had just put
into operation new law amendatory
of its forest fire warden service. But
for the more efficient work done under
this law, the fire loss would have been
much greater.
may form the basis for protective
measures against future losses on such
scale. and ascertain what can be
done to repair the damage already suf-
fered. the state authorities have ar
ranged for a cooperative fire study OF
the Maine forests by the Bureau of
Forestry OF the U. S. Department of
Agriculture In accordance with its
usual terms of cooperative work, the
bureau will share equally with the
state the field expenses of this study.
Five men have been assigned to It,.
and will be on the ground July l. The
work in the field will be prosecuted
through the remainder of the summer.
A bureau of forestry tirestudy in
cludes in scope everything pertaining
TO the occurrence, results, prevention,
and amelioration of the effects Ct for
est fires in any region. The field force
gathers from every responsible source
evidence concerning the causes of the
fires, the area burned over. and the
damage done Every statement OF
witnesses is verified, so far as posi-
BILE, by personal investigation on the
ground. IT Is ascertained whether
anti.fire laws are respected or vio-
lated. and the attitude cf people in
the neighborhood is learned-whether
because of or despite their occupa-
,ions they dread and will fight fires
or whether they think them of little
consequence and perhaps rather wink
at their occurrence. For local senti-
ment is the most powerful agency for
causing or controlling forest fires. The
fire risk to which capital invested in
standing timber is exposed is at best
under most conditions very formida-
