PROFIr-sHARING PLANS.

PROEIT-SHARING PLANS.
The extension of the Ford proAo.
sharing plan to include customers az
well as employees II not the first in
stance OF tho kind In this country. In
1905, tho N. o. Nelson Manufacturing
company Of st. Louis, makers OF en-.
gines and boilers. after an experience
OF nine years Of sharing their gains
with their employees, announced that
profits above 8 per cent. which would
be regarded es interest on the capital.
would be divided in the proportion OF
1 per cent on wages and salaries and
III per cent to customers, this last
amount being distributed to individ-
uals in accordance with the gross
profits on their purchases. Two years
salaries and gross profits were made
equal. The Ford plan differs from
this one in setting aside specific sums
to be returned to customers an re-
bates in case tho sales amount to
100000 cars for the year: and the size
of the price of the car. A greater diff
ference between the plans is that the
Ford company makes its award in the
form Of cash, while the Nelson firm
gave its customers stock. upon which
they received DIVIDENDS, and conse-
agement OF the concern. The extent
to which this process has been carried
10 shown by he fact that the shares
thus obtained by employees and GUS
toners now comprise two-thirds of
the company's stock. Employees and
customers are represented on the
board OF directors. Incidentally, it
may be noted that, while the en-
ployees have been and are free to
Join any labor union, none Of them
has done so. with the exception Of
fifteen or twenty in one department.

UNEQUAL PAY FOR EQUAL woR

UNEQUAL PAY FOR EQUAL WORK.
Wide variation in the pay for the

lie elementary school teachers may re-
ceive $500 a year. az some do in New
York city, or $46 year, as in certain
rural communities Even in cities Of

differences in the salaries paid teach
ers. On the administrative side there
are county superintendent with pay
ranging from $115 to 1900 per annum.
and college presidents receiving sal
aries all the way from 500 to "a, 400.
In city school systems. salaries have
increased steadily in recent years, par
ticularly> in the western states, and.
in general. salaries In city school sys-
TENS are fairly well standardized. The
average salary of the superintendent Of
schools in cities of over $4,000 popu-
lation is $7.17s; the range IL from 81
900 to $4,000. In the Same group Of
cities high-school principals average
$3.565 and elementary teachers $1,01S.
Even in the smallest cities listed. those

elementary teachers show an annual
average Of $3.50. with salaries a. high

CROCKER SEARCH

No Result, Though Lawyers
Have Been Busy Day and
Night.

The searches now being conducted
into the transactions of Major Ro
land ID. Crocker the lawyer, who has
been missing from his office 776 Broad
street, are not yet complete although
an army of clerks, working under
the direction Of ten or more lawyers,
representing various claimants. have
been busy day and night.
Together with Judge Cecil II. Mac
Mahon. the receiver for Crocker per-
sonally, and David Booker, receiver
for the Commonwealth Investment
Company, several of the lawyers
busted themselves today going over
papers and letters taken from Crock
ers oce. IL was said that it would
be some time before any progress
would be made in this direction, as no
system, apparently. had been adopted
by crocker in filing them.
II was said BY one of the lawyers
in the case today that the most re-
markable thing about the missing
lawyer was his appetite for work. lie
was known to have remained in his
office until long after midnight on
many occasions, and to have shown
up as early as six o'clock the next day.
Crocker's wrereabouts still is a
mystery to those interested in him.

him that when he went away two
weeks ago, be sailed for Europe.
