Labor as a Shareholder.

There are other business establishments
beside the United States Steel Corpora
ton that are turning the men who work
for them into the men who own them,
We find in the annual report of the
National Biscuit Company, dated January
81. 1908, this interesting paragraph:
THE total number of stockholders of
the company Immediately after its organi-
cation was about thirteen hundred. The
total number now is about seventv-five
hundred. OF this number twenty-three
hundred and ninety-five are employees of
the company. Under the plan enabling
employees to purchase our preferred stock,
paying for 1t in installments. they have
purchased seventy mine hundred and
thirty-three shares. This is exclusive of
very large amount of stock, both COM
mon and preferred, held by our directors,
officers and principal managers
We do not know how large a pay roll
the National Biscuit Company carries,
It's sales during the ten years of its exist
ence have increased from $34, O51, 900 in
1898 to Sal $4,000 during the year 1907.
Doubtless 1t maintains a large force, al
though not to be compared with the big
industrial army of 100000 men which
the United States Steel Corporation makes
work for in normal times. That 1896 of
the persons employed by the National
Biscuit Company are also owners in the
company is. however. upon any probable
basis. not only highly satisfactory show
desire to see every wage-earner grow to
be a property owner. but it is also a
strong element of stability in operation
for the company itself.
Another paragraph from this report is
worth reproducing, as follows:
Our increase in sales is not due to the
fact that there is a less number of rival
manufacturers of biscuit than there was
in the first year of the existence of this
company. On the contrary. the number
has increased. We have frequently stated
that the policy of this company was not
to buy out competition. nor to attempt.
by ruinous war of prices. to crush the
same. and to that policy we have stead
fastly adhered We offer our goods for
sale at fixed price and upon stated
terms. available to all grOcers."
Not to chase after the rainbow of doing
all the business in their line, but to aim
at the substance of doing that part of this
business which they secure the best il;
essentially the old American idea of live
and let live. making predominance and
success depend upon merit. and not upon
mechanical financial control. This old idea
goes well with the new practice of chang
ing as many as possible of the men who
work for the company into shareholders
in the company.--From Courant. Hart

1t was reported to the meeting of the
joint finance committee for the Associated
Charities, the Citizens Relief Association

sumption by Miss Ida A. Green, general

Miss Green also stated that two of the

tutes at the present time. In view OF
this fact the joint finance committee spent

RY WILLIAM T.. CURTIS.
Special Correspondence Of The Star and the
Chicago Record Herald.
COLUMBIA, S. c.. March 13, 1908.
During the last year considerable atten-
ton has been attracted to the arrival of
two shiploads of selected immigrants from
Belgium. Germany, Bohemia. Austria and
Hungary. who we're induced to come to
South Carolina by the direct inducements
offered by E. ]. Watson. commissioner of
immigration of this state, who was sent
to Europe for that express purpose. The
immigration laws prohibit private individ-
uals or corporations from assisting or even
inviting aliens to this country. and 1t Is
unlawful to offer a foreigner employment
before his arrival. No one is allowed to
approach an immigrant for any such pur-
pose until after he has passed through
the gateway of this land of liberty and
stands bewildered upon It's hospitable soil.
The government of South Carolina, how
ever. sent Mr.. Watson over to Europe to
test these regulations. He says that he
went under legal advice and carried in his
pocket an Interpretation by ehe Depart
ment of State at Washington which he
consulted at every step.
The immigration officials. including MI.
Sargent the commissioner. were at
Charleston to meet the ships, and gave
the newcomers a cordial welcome. Mr..
Sargent expressed his admiration at the
character of the people who came and
his sympathy with the movement. and
since the ice was thus broken there has
been a general movement among the Off
Gals and the commercial and industrial
organizations of the southern states to
follow the example Of South Carolina.

Distribution of the Arrivals.


When I asked Mr.. Watson what had
become of his immigrants he replied:
'They were promptly distributed among
the cotton manufacturing plants and the
farms of South Carolina, but there is no
way in which my department could have
kept track of their movements. Newly
arrived aliens. almost without exception.

before finally settling down. ] think we
have retained as permanent citizens or the

of the mill villages not only have these
people become permanent fixtures: their
assimilation has been without friction ana
they have been the means already or

desirable citizens. members of their I'M

In one instance fifty-nine came to one
district in body.
Many of them drifted from one mill
village to another and then into adj
joining states. A few months ago a
party of more than thirty who had been
originally placed in a South Carolina
mill and had left it a few weeks after
their arrival returned in body and
asked the privilege of resuming work.
and they are now there and doing well.
One striking instance of the rowing dis
position of even the best aliens was the
case of Belgian truck farmer who. after
working one season here, travelled down

ed to buy an excellent truck farm on the
coast. upon which early this .spring he
will probably make money. Some of the
trained mill operatives, after short stay
in South Carolina. went to the New Eng

one winter. they returned to their orig

few of the cases that have come under

earn his own living, and demonstrating
his undesirability as an American citizen.

after him. 7 believe. however, that We
have retained a. large percentage of the

by the United States immigration authori-
ties to be one of the bestlooking ship

soil. OF the farming class quite num-

every instance success and permanent res
