Half Profit Sharing.
So long rs laborers are men and not
machines, brothers and not serfs, since
apital Is as dependent upon labor as
lbOr is OH capital 30 per cent Of the
et gains of the business ought to go |
ITO the hands Of labor. Men who have
enormous fortunes Instead of |
iviC.ng the surplus with the paid la. |
Orers who have enabled them to earn |
! have tried to fix the thing by dis
the surplus over the world in |
lrge blocks of benevolence and have !
cen placarded for it clear around the |
lobe and monumented with antemOr- |
en- obituaries. When such holder OF |
,rge properties comes to interpret by |
he light of the gospel the relation or |
ne man who employs tie brother MAJ. |
Tho is his employee he will realize that
lie whole of the surplus earned by his
usiness is not his and that when he
onates it in charity he IS giving away
good deal of what does not belong to
