SHARE THE PROFITS.
A smelter Company Gives It's I'm.
pIoyes Part Of the Earnings.

One Of the most successful plans for
sharing profits with employees is being
conducted by the American Smelling &
Refining Company, which IL managed
by the Guggenheims. This company
has large number OF employees in
Colorado. and to each of them Is given
each year q pro rata division Of such
net profits Of the company us remain
after dividends arc paid on Its pre-
ferred and common stock. This year
the amount distributed was 100000 At
oil It's plants.
This profit sharing plan originated
with the executive committee OF the
company. for the purpose OF attach
ing its employees more closely to their
work. In some large companies sys-
ten OF pensions are resortcd to. but
the plan OF sharing profits appears to
make each employe feel additional re-
sponsibility. and regard the interests
OF the company as his own. The an
nual cost OF this plan to the company
means nearly one-half million dollars.
and Is much more expensive than pen
sions. but at the same time Is much
more satisfactory.
On the pay roll OF the Guggenheim
interests In Colorado are some OF the
most contented and loyal working men
that can be found anywhere In the
country. The result of the plan of
profit sharing is ut once tho Il ~

deeply on the problem of dividing
earnings with labor. This Is ono OF
the numerous instances where bust
ness men took up and settled an In
dustrial problem to the satisfaction Of
labor. while mere theorists were
baffled by the perplexing situation.
The Guggenheims. while up to date
business men In every respect. still
adhered to the good old.fashloned Idea
that an employer In In a measure re.

To this plan Of dealing with iaborinE
