Boston, July II -Jemes l. Richard
SOD, president OF the Boston Il Console

plan of employees profit sharing adopted
By the dire ors Of the company to be
effective during the year that began June
80, and thereafter. The scheme which
is said to have been 10 successful opera
ton with one of the London gas COM
pauies, sets aside $50, 600 to be paid out
during the coming year from the surplus
earnings to faithful employees at the dis
erection of the executive committee,
though no employee will be on the fortu-
nate list unless he shall be capable faith
iul, and temperate. The distribution
will benefit all employees who have serV-

ing the president and vice presi-
dent. II is t. be made on the slid
ing scale basis, though the exact de-
tails have not yet been perfected, and
are to be announced in the near future.
The idea of the directors is to take about
rs per cent. of the most efficient en-
pioyes OF the company, irrespective OF
the amount of wages earned, and pay
them at the end of the year seven per
cent of the amount Of their wages, being
the same per centage as the stockholders
receive on the stock in dividends. 1t is
expected that the company will distribute
to its employees during the year ending
