A Splendid Lesson

UPPOsE that profit sharing scheme proposed in the
y Poindex,er bill for developing Alaska in general
practice among individual employers What grand results
would ensuel
Thus John Smith would put 100000 into fac
tory say, and inform his that one hah the prois
above 10 per should 60 to them, in addition TO
wages. and one-half those who bought the rae
tory's products child could almost tell the results
The workers would work TO the limit OF their
efficiency
The consumers would buy that factorys prod
ucts in preference to others.
There would be no lock outs, or strikes no ex-
tortion oppression .
You would think that every employer would jump at
the limiting OF the percentage OF his profit The difficulty
lies getting capital TO consent to reasonable profit tor
itself
But let us get away from the profit considerations
There's really something great deal higher and better IN
the proposition than financial equity There ele
ments OF morality Christianity IT. Push greed back
an you progress inch toward common brother
hood. .
The most splendd feature this Alaskan is
not that shall maeat and consumers
but that it is government example OF humanity and mutual
upli national demonstration OF good resulting from the
elimination Of the fruits Of greedness
May Uncle Sam give this great object lesson in
the relations between employer and employer
