ployee leaving before that time should
forfeit all his share in the yearly profits.
An arrangement might be made whereby
he could be given a cash value for this
share which Is less than the total.
The worker would thus be somewhat
the loser by leaving before the end of
the year, but would not lose the entire
amount. That part forfeited should be
turned into the fund to he divided
among the other employees.
As shrewd employers know, q little
praise or little responsibility will often
take the place of an increase in wages.
If profit sharing is to become general
arrangements will be made to have the
employees represented at each meeting
OF the directors of the company. al
though there cannot be divided control.
one idea is that the employees might
nave their labor councils within the
factory gates instead of outside in labor
unions. Representatives to this coun-
Gil could be elected from each depart
ment OF the mill and the central council
could then choose one, two or three
from themselves to act as directors on
the board, to be present at every
meeting.
So long as labor organizations of some
sort or other are evitabe II seems
better and wiser for large concerns to
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1914-06-21

The intelligent employee will back
any plan which gives clearly and be-
yond doubt a reward for individual
efficiency; moreover. he could not be
induced to join even the labor union
unless he felt that he would gain
greater benefits from 1t than from the
efficiency or profit sharing plan. At the
present time the majority Of workers
feel that they can get more out of trade
unions than from profit sharing or eff
iciency plans. Thus employers have
the choice either of allowing the prin-
c'ples OF trade unionism to grow, or
Of outbidding labor unions by Offering
plan which Is beneficial to the worker
and yet true to fundamental economic
laws.
If one worker increases his efficiency
30 per cent. over the standard he should
get 80 per cent. more wages, what
ever his basic wage. Another worker
who does not increase his efficiency
over the standard should get nothing,
ana such a one would probably he
eventually dropped or shifted to some
other line of work where he could do
better than the standard
Each worker who Is above the stand
ard should share In the net profits as
IA reward for the efficiency of the
entire organization. The reason for
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1914-06-21

For instance, suppose that John Smith
Is n skilled mechanic and that the base
wage for his work Is 800 a month.
If John were 25 per cent. efficient over
the standard his bonus would amount
to $25, and his total pay for the month
would be 1925. This should be paid
in cash, but his share of the total
profits. to be paid perhaps in stock,
should be based proportionately on the
sl25 and not on the base wage of 800.
The time of making payments of this
share of the profits depends on the
size of the concern and other con-
dtions, but in any case II should be
tangible and not too remote. Probably
1t would be impracticable to pay once
month, but 1t might be arranged
to pay 1t quarterly or semi-annually.
As ] said In the previous article, 1t is
not to be expected that employees
should share in losses so long as they
have no part In the control. Some en-
ployers who are opposed to profit shar-
Ing argue that II workmen are to share
in profits they should also share in
losses and take sons risk. In reply
workmen say to me that the employee
takes even greater risks than capital
In the risks OF injury and the risk Of
loss Of employment.
Some employers cannot get over the

them only when strikes are declared
ana when bitterness has been aroused
and reasonableness banished.
In AT least one important case that I
know OF labor bureau has been es-
tablished and it is working with marked
success. The owners of the factory
where this bureau exists have this to
say or the labor question:
THE problem of the organization of
the labor force within factories Is one
which business men are only beginning
seriously to consider. The pressure OF
commercial competition forces them to
pay close and constant attention to the
market. and they are also compelled to
give "A careful study to their machinery
and other plant.
but their labor they are usually con-
tent to take very much as it comes !;
they follow the customary practice in
the matters of engaging. controlling and
remunerating their work people, and
give the whole subject not one Quarter
OF the attention they devote to selling
or to technical processes. Then from
time to time labor gives trouble and
brings production to a stop. and busi-
ness men naturally feel hurt. Are they
not working hard, they are inclined to
ask. and what. after all. IL their nri-
mary business? Unless they can find

things which are now done by the
State, Just because most large employ
ers have not been progressive enough
to do them, should from an economic
and every other standpoint be better
taken up by employers.
The matter Of unemployment is one
of these questions and / think that
insurance against unemployment might
be operated somewhat as follows: In
industries where the profits are large
for several years and are followed by
several years OF losses. a sinking fund
should be set aside from the profits Of
the good years. Out OF this sinking
fund could be taken the benefits for EN-
ployees when thrown out of employ
ment through no fault OF their own. A
study Of fundamental condtions--as
shown by composite chart-should
clearly enable employers to know when
to lay up a sinking fund and when to
draw on It.
Not only Is little along these lines
being done, but many concerns give
their employees no intlmatlon as to
how orders are coming in. To-day a
plant IL run full time and Tomorrow
20 per cent. Of the men ARE laid off

Pointing Pistols

n ECENTLY Solomon Bermon OF
n Manhattan scared into fight two
thieves who entered his store by
pointing his index finger at them and
fooling them into supposing that he had
revolver. 1t is an old trick and yet
1t succeeds, just as the confidence man
can always sell a gold brick to 4 farmer
who never heard of Hungry Joe.
short time ago river thieves boarded
a tug moored along the Hudson and
attempted to enter the captains CABIN
and secure money and valuable from a
small safe he had there. The engineer
OF the little boat heard the thieves, ana
creeping up out of the en-inc room
called: :Halt who's thar Hat
or I'll fire." At the same time he ran
around the side of the cabin with
dipper handle.
Not until the thieves got ashore did
1t seem to occur to them that there
couldn't have been a pistol in their dis
turber's hand or he would have fired

idea that the employee Is in certain
sense part Of his property. They ex-
pect loyalty from the employees. but
are not willing in return to give loyalty
to them. Certain kinds Of employers
give man work. but they feel no re-
sponsibility for this man when bust
ness becomes dull and they find 1t neces-
sary to discharge him. Workmen are
built of the same human elements that
make up an employer, and loyalty Is a
rule which must work both ways.
The matter Of unemployment has
been given considerable attention
abroad. and is now receiving attention
in this country. 1t seems that some
form Of unemployment insurance could
well be adopted by individual employ
ers. personally believe that many

suspicion along these lines.
Men have always done their best work
when they have had the proper incen-
tive. OF course fear of losing a job and
fear Of starvation for oneself or fam
lily. will continue to he motives to GER
tain kinds of men of low grade imagina-
ton. But the majority Of working men
are intelligent and influenced by other
motives than that Of fear.

such matters by giving them notice of
what will probably take place are bring
ing upon themselves labor troubles as
surely as night follows day.
Another feature which ! think would
be valuable in any profit sharing plan
would he cash surrender value for the
workers share of the total yearly
profits. In case the division Of the
profits is not made until the end of the
year 1t does not seem that an en-

have an organization of the employees
within the concern rather than to he
obliged to deal with n foreign organiZa-
ton which has no interest whatever in
it's success. 1t Is evident that in large
factories employers cannot avoid deal
ing with organized bodies of workers.
and it seems much better for such con-
Germs to keep constantly In touch with
their own help on a friendly and rea-
sonablc basis, instead of dealing with

ert C. Brickell
1t is reported that new indictments
may be returned by the Montgomery
county grand jury against Lacy and
James G. oakley, former president Of
the board of convict INSPECTORS, under
whom Lacy was serving when he made
his escape with state funds in his pos
session.
The grand jury has been in session
several days, and it is the common
belief that they have reinvestigated the
charges against Lacy. Whether new in
dictments may be returned against Lacy
the opinion is pretty general that sucn
w IL be the case.
1t was shown that the indictments :
against Oakley We're improperly drawn
and the state is safeguarding itsel
against any such contingency in the
Lacy case. The grand jury will render
its report tomorrow, it is said
