Profit-Sharing With Labor.

Melville f. ingalls, in advocating profit
sharing with labor instances the discour-
agement of strikes, greater confidence
by employees and a direct incentive to
them to advance their company's interest
as among the good results likely to ensue
from what he terms this mild form OF
socialism"
AT a recent meeting in London of the
Labor Copartnershi2 Association Mr..
Balfour advanced another important re-
suit of this closer relationship between
employer and employee. By giving the
workman wider and deeper interest in
his work it also gives him greater know
ledge of the difficulties of the employer
Profit-sharing, which with us is virtually
an untried experiment, has been in
practical application for a quarter of a
century in England. The number of
labor copartnership societies there rose
from 10 in 1893 to l12 last year, with an
increase of business from $S00,000 to
above $50, 900, 900. The South Metropoli-
tan Company this year has divided
$50 900 among its employees, the equiv
alent of ~ per cent. dividend on their
wages, and in eighteen years it has dis
tributed 81 ,100,0 600 to workmen as their
share of the profits. Six English gas
companies adopted the profit-sharing
plan during the year.
The presence at the London meeting
Of half hundred members of Parliament,
a Cambridge professor and numerous
rich manufacturers showed the character
of the public support which the profit
sharing movement is receiving as a
means of promoting industrial peace,
progress and efficiency. World.

bicyclistarum, we ourselves called it
and various other physical idiosyncra-
sizes resulting from certain habits of life,
labors or practises. To the catalogue,
says the New York Tribune, it seems
probable that we shall now have to add
another item, to wit, the "motor mind"
BY that we mean the more or less habi
tual condition of mind into which GER
tain automobiles get, apparently be-
cause of and through their indulgence in
the fascinating practise of operating mo-
tor cars. There might at first sight be
room for questioning which was the
cause and which the effect; whether the
'motor mind" was the result of running
automobiles, or whether the peculiar
style of running automobiles was the re-
suit of the prepossession of the "motor
mind" But reflection upon the charac-
ter of that mind and a decent regard for
the repute of humanity must incline us
toward the former theory.
The "motor mind" then, however &C.
quired, divests it's possessor of several of
the most admirable and desirable attri.
butes of cultivated humanity. One of
these is prudence. The unhappy victim
of this mental popularity becomes reck-
less in the extreme. Over roads which
the normal man would traverse with
caution in broad daylight he hesitates
not to rush at frantic speed in the dark
est midnight. At speed which others
would regard as perilous and to be made
only for urgent need on wheels of steel
running on fixed tracks of steel from
which all other traffic is rigidly excluded,
he travels for no need save that of idle
caprice, on vulnerable tires of rubber
along roads without fixed tracks and
traversed by other vehicles 1t is TIC be
doubted if the records of human reck
lessness contain account of any lack of
caution or of common care for safety
comparable with that of the possessor of
the "motor mind"
Still more noteworthy and still more
regrettable is the abatement of pity,
mercy and all human sentiments which
follows in the train of this disorder. The
normal impulse of man is not only to
avoid injuring another, bnt also, in case
of the infction of injury, to inquire
solicitously as to its extent and to endea-
vor to give all possible aid and make all
possible reparation. All this is changed
Immediately upon the development of
"motor mind"

Additional Appropriation of $500 900
For Interior Department Is Asked
For by Secretary Garfield, to Be
Used In Endeavor to Recover
Lands UnlawfuIIy Taken by orpora-
Lands UnlawfulIy Taken Within the
Past Two Years


Washington, Jan. 19.-Information
of an astounding character concern
ing alleged wholesale frauds in pub
lie lands has come into the possession
of Secretary of the Interior GARFIELD
through special agents in the field.
The serious allegation is made that
approximately $110, 900 200 worth OF
lands in states, principally west OF
the Mississippi river, have been
fraudulently acquired within the
past two years by corporations and
individuals.
With a view of recovering these
lands. Garfield sent letters to Chair
men Hale and Tawney of the SEN
ate and the house appropriation
committees. respectively, asking for
an additional appropriation of $500,
900. which, if granted, will, with
that already asked for. give the de-
partment 81 900 900 for that purpose.
The specific purpose of the appro-
priation requested is for preventing
"depredauons upon public timber.
protecting public lands, examining
swamp lands, etc. " 1t is explained
that there is reasonable prospect of
recovering much Of this alleged fraud
ulently acquired land if the appropria-
ton is promptly made
1t is also pointed out that while 81,
900 600 may seem large. it is not
one per cent of the commercial value
of the land which the government may
hope to recover.
Secretary Garfield also submits
statement of II. H. Schwartz. chief
of the field staff. showing over 80.
O0O distinct cases of alleged land
frauds demanding further investiga-
ton.
\ summary of most of the larger
cases now pending is submitted, but
the details of Identification and
names of parties are omitted. because
it is stated this would embarrass
turther INJURY into such cases.
Washington, Jan. l7.-venezueIa
and the United States have agreed to
the bases of a settlement of the dis
putes between them and protocol
is being sdrawn up. Presumably the
cases in dispute will be referred to
The Hague for arbitration.
