Golden Rule In Business.

Suppose an employer of labor
manifestly treated his employees un-
fairly and poorly. In time as a re-
suit OF the action of those interested,
aided by public sentiment, a remedy
would be found and this after a
great interruption of business and
loss OF money.
Again let us assume that during
n given year the demand for a prod
uct equals less than one-half of the
capacity to produce and yet each pro-
ducer is greedy and anxious to sell
more than his fair proportion and
acts accordingly and this attitude is
maintained until destructive results
which we all know are almost certain
to be realized"
1t would be difficult the chairman
continued, to bring about an ideal in
business, yet a right disposition,
courage, patience and the applca-
tion of the highest thought might
reach that position. The first
essential to this was thorough
acquaintance and frequent inter-
course.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. "a
Many important changes are ex-
pected in baseball before another
worlds series is played. One of
the paramount innovations will be
the substitution of stipulated pay
ments for the players instead of
splitting the gate receipts, as has
been the custom.
Next year when the players as
semble on the diamond for the
grand finale of the season they
will receive announcement in adj
vance of Just exactly what they
are to be paid for their services,
instead of the usual split for win
ners and loosers.
Another change will be greeted
enthusiastically by the fans. 1t
will be a reduction-to normal
figures-in admission prices. The
national commission will be in
charge of the official sale of tick
cts.
