Pro6t-sharing, which in America is
virtually an experiment, has been in
practical application for a quarter of
century in England. The number
of labor co-partnership societies there
rose from IS in 1855 to III last year,
with an increase in business from
$500, 900 to above $50, 600, 900.
The South Metropolitan Company
last year divided $3.50, 900 among its
employees, the equivalent of ~ per
cent. dividend on their wages, and in
eighteen years it has distributed ST.
100, 900 to workmen as their share Of
the profits. Six English gas COM
panies adopted the profit sharing plan
during the year.
According to Mo0dT'S magazine,
Mr.. Carnegie says that Boston store
has gone furthest of all in the direc-
ton of making its employees share
holders" This establishment, be
says, employs 100 to goo men, the
capital stock is held only by employees
and Is returned to the corporation at
its value should the employees leave
the service. Every share of stock be-
longs to some one working in the store.
Much jubilation at having success
fully ridden the hard course of 1908
marked the annual meeting of the
thrifty cooperative societies of Great
Britain, just ended at Newcastle on
Tyne. While their capital account
had suffered some Withdrawals, they
had met no shrinkage in trade and no
loss in membership. On the contrary,
In spite Of the general depression
throughout England and Ireland, the
cooperative societies had increased
their membership from 2.434, 900 to
2,5I6, 900, and their total business
from $528, 900, 900 to $751;, 900, 600.
when allowance is made for the
families, which hold more than one
membership" said the president in
his annual address, we find that we
have entry into, and some influence
upon, the life of nearly 1000, 600
homes, of between fourth and fifth
of the whole community
Such success as this has turned the
heads of many of the old pioneers in
the movement. Cooperation bulks
almost too large in their views. If
the poor people, by buying at whole
sale, can make their scanty incomes
go further and even lay by something
for rainy day, what more is wanted j!
The president of the Cooperative
Union, nevertheless, did not blink the
fact that there was more to the prob
lens of poverty than just that. He
hazarded the opinion that something
was wrong with the monopoly Of land
in England, and went on record as
willing to do something about it.
Nothing, however, was done.
But with all their complacency, the
cooperative trading societies In Great
Britain remain a highly useful insti-
tuition. They cultivate the only sort
of sels.reliance that is not dangerous
and vain the self reliance of the
group. Unlike the small and strug-
CLING friendly societies" which furn-
ish cheap and precarious insurance,
the cooperative societies are not jeal-
Gus of larger measures than their own.
Lloyd George s budget does not fright
en- them, and if they decide to "go
in" for land reform, they will furnish
that movement much sturdy support.
Their growth Is one Of the encourag-
ing phenomena of the day Chicago
Eyenime Post.

IT NEVER comes amiss to know a
good trade. A minister in Pennsyl-
vania, unable to get enough salary to
support his family of eleven children,
has left the pulpit and gone to work
as blacksmith, a trade he learned
when a boy, and at which he can
earn So to So per day. Many good
blacksmith has been spoiled to make
a poor preacher.

Some strenuous Americans may be surprised
to note the intensity of the life that throbs in
the heart of the British Empire, as indicated by
the number Of fast trains that run without stop
between the metropolis and other leading cities.
On the roads radiating from London, not less
than 1871 trains daily make no stop in distances
of more than 100 miles. The Great Northern
Railway from London to Grantham has most
remarkable traffic in its IA trains day that run
1O5K miles in ! hour and so minutes, or at the
rate of SIS miles per hour. The London Bristol
run 11s miles at 59s miles per hour-is the fast
est for long distance.

STOCK POSITION
UNOERGOES TEST

New York. Dec. 27.-Thc Rock Is
land episode in todays stock mar
kct afforded an opportunity TO test
the stability OF the present specula-
tive position. The resisting power
shown 10 the alarming intlmatlons
carried by the sensational eyrauons
in the Rock Island stocks served rs
assurance that the present position Is
not easily vulnerable. There was a
dread that quiet liquidation might
have been going on which would be
followed after a certain stage by the
withdrawal of support and abandon
ment Of values TO the natural play OF
forces.
Ia some stocks where there has
been persistence in speculative ac-
tivlty since the general market has
grown quiet there was hasty un-
loading OF stocks and sharp bulge
in prices The general list, however.
stood UP well under the shock and
then rallied.
The conclusion is forced that the
heavy tone last week was due to a
pause In the activity of the specula-
tlon for a rise rather than to any ac-
tive pressure TO sell stocks.
Whatever explanation may lie OF
the Rock Island episode the move
ment of the stock was sufficiently cX-
traordlnary. 4 rise Of 81 Ii points
In FIVE minutes IN a railroad stock
having q substantial value and Il
widely disseminated market is rare
occurrence in stock market history.
When 1t is followed in almost as lit
tie time by complete relapse 1t may
be said TO be almost without prece~
dent
Attempted explanations OF the
movement were widely varied and In
some cases fantastic Recent heavy
sales of calls on the stock by for
cigu stock operators and the pur.
chases BY them according TO their
rule. Of half the amount required 10
meet tho contract, undoubtedly played
q part in the condition.
The conviction that miscarriage
OF the market management Of the
stock had much TO do with the unedi-
flying spectacle grew as the day wont
on. That management has involved
lavish outlay of resources and a very
free display of manipulatiye tactics
lUSttdu VI lut usual t<tl elulll 'dl'u-
lated balance of such forces today
there seemed TO have been a reck-
less or blundering upheaval in one
direction without the intended effect
on the other side. An error by a sub
ordinate clerk was one Specious sug-
gestion brought forward with the con-
fusion left by Christmas festivities Of
fered TO account for II. This cXplana-
tion or its corollarics found more gen
cral acceptance than Tumors of a
struggle for control owing TO the fact
OF the control lying with the pre-
ferred stock OF the company.
Having asserted its power Of resist
ance 10 shock, the stock showed little
disposition to move upward with decl-
sion pending the working out Of the
year and money market problem.
