The Sherman Telegram says;
They tell us that beyond the

there Is no use to farm, for the
country is not suited for that
sort OF thing. VIII the Grayson

negie says that "every corporation
could we'll afford to sell shares to
Its saving workmen giving prefer

charge in case OF disaster, just as
present laws provide first for the
mechanics lien and for homestead

shares without knowledge, and is
asked to buy them, not solely for
his own advantage. but for the ben

advantage OF both"
The writer points out that lust

and improved so the world of la
Dor has advanced from the slavery

day, when he begins to take his
proper place as the capitalist-part-

The Daily Panhandle can add for
the benefit OF the Sherman paper
that cyclones do not afflict the Pan
handle OF Texas, II that is what It
has reference TO. Cyclones do not
develop here for the Chronological
reason that intense heat is not prev

OF cyclones.
The eastern Texas papers have not
one single weapon with which to
fight western Texas, Western Texas
Is the better land by far. Eastern
Texas was settled before western
Texas simply because the tide OF i'm
migration moved from the Atlantic
coast and hit eastern Texas first.
That is all. Now that the tide Is
moving on and occupying this pleas

crashing their teeth at us; but the
answer from this region is a merry
"ha-ha," as we progress to greater

Take look at your cemetery, Mr.

When the eastbound passenger
train on the Arkansas & Choctaw
railroad reached the bridge across
Doggy ten miles west Of Hugo, Okla,
at O'Clock last night the trestle
was discovered on fire. 1t is sup
posed to have caught from a dead
tree burning down near the right Of
way and falling on the track. The
train crew and passengers succeeded
in putting out the fire with water
from the engine tank. The trestle
was not burned out, but the timbers
were so badly burned and charred
that the bridge was rendered unsafe
for crossing, The passengers were
transferred on the east side OF the
bridge on a handcar and another
train carried them to Hugo. The
woods were burning all day yester.

and Durant, and the smoke was SO
dense that it was difficult to see any

Replying to the possible charge
Of being over-sanguine, MIR, Carnegie
declares himself convinced that 1.-The
huge combination, and even the
moderate corporation, has no chance
in competition with the partnership,
which embraces the principal Off
cials and has adopted the system Of
payment by bonus or reward through
out its work The latter may be
relied upon, as rule, to earn hand
some dividends in times of depres-
sion, during which the former, con-
Quoted upon the old plan, will incur
actual loss, and perhaps land in H.
nancial embarrassment.

BY way Of illustration, he cites
the case OF the Filene Stores, of Bos-
ton, which he says, "has gone far
therest OF all in the direction OF
making its employees shareholders. "
The establishment, he says, employs
seven to nine hundred men, the cap
ital stock is held only by employees.
and is returned to the corporation
at It's value, should the employee
leave the service. Every share OF
stock belongs to some one working
in the stores. THE most import
ant advance" says Mr.. Carnegie, "is
that all questions are submitted to
arbitration, not only complaints or
disputes, but wages, scope of work,
and tenure Of employment More
than four hundred cases Of arbitra-
tlon have arisen, and the result is
that both managers and employees

| u proIlt sharing department, having
nothing to do with wages, which has
been able to distribute varying
amounts each year"
He goes on TO describe the work
ings OF the plan, remarklng inck
dentally that the Filene stores are
not excelled, II equalled In making
profits" He cites other examples OF
profit-sharng and joint ownership,
and then comes to his congratulations
in the course of which he says among
other things:
Whether the communists ideal is
to be finally reached upon earth, af-
ter man is SO changed that self-in-
terest, which is now the handspring
OF human action, will give place to
heavenly neighbor-interest, cannot
be known. The future has not been
revealed. He who says yes, and he
who says no, are equally foolhardy
Neither knows, therefore neither
should presume to consider, much
less to leglslate in their day, for a
future they can know nothing Of.
"The writer, however, believes one
point TO be clear, viz, that the next
step toward improved labor condi-
lions is through the stage of share
holding in the industrial world, the
workman becoming joint owner in
the profits OF his labor. Payment
to slaves and serfs, by providing
shelter and food and clothing for
them, then by orders upon the stores
for articles, up to payment by cash
to independent workmen today, each
great step forward have all been
tried, and now the coming day dawns
when payment is to be made wholly
or in part by proflt-sharing, the
workman having the status of the
share-owning official and a voice in
management as joint owner. He
will be guaranteed a minimum wage,
when finally paid by profits entirely
to keep his mind easy and free for
his work, the proper support OF him
self and his family being thus in
sured.
at may be mentioned that the in
vestments Of workmen partners in
the United States Steel corporation
have been very profitable to both
the men and the company.
"One of the greatest advantages,
the writer thinks, will be found in
drawing men and managers into clos
er intercourse, so that they become
friends and learn each others vir-
tues, for that both have virtues none
knows better than the writer, who
has seen both sides Of the shield as
employe and employer. In vast es
adjustments it is very difficult, al
most impossible, for workmen are
joint owners, and both are paid
wages, as even the president of the
company is, We shall see greater in
tercourse between them. In the case
of disputes, it is certain that the
workmen- partners have a status
nothing else can give. They can at
tend all shareholders meetings and
have voice there IL desired. En-
trance into the partnership class
means increased power to workmen
On the other hand, knowledge of the
affairs, its troubles and |
disappointments, which come at in
teryals to the most successful con-
Germs, will teach the workman much |
that he did not know before.
