Is it the specter of socialism that has
frightened so many of our leading men
into their sudden advocacy of profit
sharing? The presidents message
gives ground for that inference, while
Mr.. Carnegie intimates the same when
he says:
''The idea of making workmen share
holders and dividing share of the
profits among those rendering excep-
tional service will probably encounter
the opposition of the extremists on
both sides, the violent revolutionist Of
capitalistic conditions and the narrow,
graspfng employer whose creed is to
purchase his labor as he does his ma
terials, paying the price agreed upon
and ending there. But this opposition
will, we believe, amount to little. It

profit sharing? Is this to be the
solution, Of strikes and labor trou-
Dies, the ushering in of a better day
ZOE employers and employees alike?
Yes to both questions decidedly yes-if
such men as President Roosevelt, An
Grew Carnegie, Melville e. Ingalls,, the
railroad magnate, and Arthur James
Balfour, ex-premier of Great Britain,
can be accepted as prophets In the
past few weeks utterances from these
men and others have approved profit
sharing in the strongest terms. Carne-
gle even goes so far as to say in effect
that the present wage system is doom
I'd. He would have the workers made
partners in the business. N. O. Nelson,
the st. Louis manufacturer who for
more than twenty years has practiced
the division Of profits, advocates that
not only employees, but customers, be
given their pro rata of the returns that
their purchases produce. The United
States Steel corporation encourages it's
workmen to buy stocks. Even John
d. Rockefeller apparently has enough
and is willing to let other people share
protits-at least in everything except
Standard Oil. He approves the princf-
pie. If he would go as far as Nelson
and divide profits with his customers
ne might help some in oiling the
wheels Of general prosperity. While it
is to be feared that his approval is
more In theory than practice, it is
something to gain his assent to the
righteousness of the idea. It shows
that there are limits to men taking

New Business Partnership.
Here is to the new business partner
snip consisting of capitalist, worker
and consumer! 1t sounds fine, but all
the time I am pinching myself to be
sure am awake. Heretofore the cap
atalist has been the whole firm. The
worker was only poor relation, while
the consumer was rank outsider who
got it from both sides. Is it possible
that In future the high financier and
the captain of industry are going to
hand back a little of what they take
from us? Carnegie says so, but I am
afraid to believe it for fear another
rise in trust prices will come along to
shatter my dream. To be perfectly
honest, the only sort of profit sharing
I have ever been up against has had
the candy on the other end-that is, my
profits have been shared by the food
trust, the landlord, the clothing trust
and all the other benevolent corpora

Of Liberty on the dollar as their affini-
ty. It Roosevelt, Carnegie. ingalls, and
Balfour know of any kind of profit
sharing that does not give the trusts

sharing, am for it.
The presidents last annual message
speaks Of the matter in this wise:
II believe in steady effort, or per-
haps it would be more accurate to say
in steady efforts, In many directions
to bring about condition of affairs
under which the men who work with
hand or with brain, the laborers, the
superintendent, the men who produce

a market for the articles produced,

I quote all these utterances to show
their emphasis and significance. Sure
~ new era is dawning in the econom-
1c world when men Of this character
come out for an idea that few years
ago was regarded as the EXTREMIST rad
1calism. Yet profit sharing is no new
thing, especially in Europe In France
it has been in successful practice for
half century or more, and there are
now scores Of cooperative concerns
throughout that country. In England
the Rochdale plan has long been IA
nous, and with it as a model manv
other profit sharing schemes have
sprung into existence. Just now the
movement has been given new i'm
pulse in Great Britain, the speech of
ex-Premier Balfour before mentioned
referring to number Of new cooper
alive enterprises Of Importance. Prof
1t sharing has not gained so great
vogue on the continent outside of
France, yet there are few concerns
In Germany; Switzerland and else
where that are practicing the princi-
pie.
