PROFIT SHARING IS SOLUTION OF
LABOR PROBLEM SAYS CARNEGIE

Carnegie says, was taken to admit
workers of the mechanical department
which had hitherto been neglected by
employers. Speaking further on of
the combination of many steel works
into the one United States Steel cor
poration he says that the problem pre-
sented was not altogether new, "for
individual ard corporate management
have coexisted since joint stock COM
panies were formed. The former had
undoubtedly great advantages over the
latter. Able men managing their own
works. in competition with large bod
les of shareholders employing salaried
managers, were certain to distance
their corporate competitors, and did
SO. Nothing can stand against the
direct management OF owners
Going on to speak of the experiment
of the United States Steel corporation
in interesting its officers and employees
in its shares. Mr.. Carnegie says that
every corporation could well afford to
isell shares to It's saving workmen, CIV
ing preference in repayment at cost as
a first charge in case of disaster. Jus,
as present laws provide first for the
mechanics lien and for homestead ex
lemption. This is due to the working
nan, who necessarily buys the share
| without knowledge and is asked to bu
; them not solely for his own advantage
, but for the benefit of the company q
