statesmen SHOULD
Be PROTECTED TOO
ST. LOUIS MAN BELIEVES THAT
THERE SHOULD BE LAWS To
PROTECT THE sALEsMANs
MONEY FROM BEING EMREZzEL-
ED AS WELL AS THE CONVERSE.
"A b2

A st. Louis man writing in The Sam
pie Case has the following to say
about the laws protecting firms and not
giving the same protection to the sales
men:
While there are many laws on the
statutes in the different states protect
ing firms and corporations against the
drummer or commercial traveller you
will find scarcely any for the protection
of the salesman. Now, in the St Louis
Council No. rs, u. C. T. ola, the mem
bers have an idea that efforts should
be made to benefit the salesman, in
whatever way this can be done. All of
the different organizations efforts are
directed towards doing something for
the families and loved ones of the de-
parted, or at the most when he is sick
or disabled-and very laudable indeed
Is this action. All the other efforts to
get cheaper rates, etc, generally bene-
fit the employer In Missouri, and
probably in other states, they have a
law against embezzlement of the firms
money, making this crimc punishable
with penitentiary service of from one
to five years; and no honest salesman
finds fault with this law: 1t is a species
of reward for those who are honest
For the last forty years and probably
longer, but that's as long as can recol-
lect, there has been continual COM
plant against firms and corporations
not doing the honest thing with their
statesmen.
/ certainly do not believe everything
I hear from travelling statesmen; yet I
have been convinced often and am quite
The Fargo forum and daily republican. [volume] (Fargo, N.D.) 1894-1957, 1910-01-01
WITH THE TRAVELLERS

certain that very, very often the sales
man does not get what is promised him.
The method pursued is somewhat on
this basis. A salesman will be hired
and be allowed draw a nominal sum,
the employer explaining his desire to
do all he can for the salesman and as
sures him he will give him 40 or SO
per cent OF the profit and at the end
of six or twelve months the profits
will b. divided between the house and
the salesman-minus what he may have
drawn. Now that is very nice and
there are some houses who are honest
about this. But oh, some of these
angelic employers, how many differ
ent schemes they have to take a goodly
portion OF the saleman's earnings away
from him.
II is SO notoriously known that this is
done every day that it needs no ex-
PLANTATION. Now, If it is crime for the
salesman to embezzle his employers
money, and it is and ought to be. is
ii not equal or a greater crime for the
employer to en1bezzle the employees
money? It will hs argued that you can
call for an accounting in court; but
then 1t is only a civil suit and the
salesman has to pay the expenses un-
der all circumstances and he Is mostly
not wealthy. and when you bring suit
against him firm, win or lose, the 9TH
ers view you in a peculiar light; but
when the state bring 1t under a Grim
inal charge and 1t is quite different
matter. The honest employer has moth
ing to fear In the matter, and would
encourage this kind of a law. The en-
ployer could, Of course confine him
self to a straight salary or so much
on the dollar and other ways. The idea
of the salesman is TO end or at least
abrogate the deceiving ways of the en-
polyer who has no conscience
In some houses the salesman are Sc
cretly paying the bookkeepers OF, clerks
out of their own pockets that they may
get neari.' a square deal. So notorious
has this method become that 1t was
lately discovered that a father was
even treating his own son to this meth
cd; he has done it so long and con-
tinued that he cannot understand that
,it is a crime.
The law should be for the protection
Of the weak, and in this matter the
salesman is assuredly the weak one.
The writer has no :reiyances against
his employer on this score and is we'll
able to lake car of himself, but there
are others and others. q
Am also aware that the u. c.. T. of A.
as an organization could not take this
matter in hand, as it would incur the
EVERLASTING enmity of the dog that will
be hit. But the travelling men as indi-
viduals can do this. But how to get
the ball a rolling. For the weak trav-
cling man, or understudy, lives In con-
tinual fear OF the sales manager or
the boss; hes is afraid to open his
mouth, and thos who are firmly en-
trenched- don't care to bother.
