GOOD ROADS AND THRIFT.

France Sets an Example the Rest of
the World Might Follow.
Good farms and good roads go to-
gether. Good roads mean cheaper haul
ing prices, better profits-therefor
more money. The wealth of a nation
Is the wealth of its population. The
population of the country Of France is
known to be the most thrifty, the least
poverty stricken and the best provided
for of any country In the world And
France has better road system and
more good roads In proportion to its
area than any other country Of the
same or greater size. Has France ru-
raj wealth because Of its good roads or
has 1t good roads because of its thrifty
peasantry?
1t is, therefore, for us In this country
to look upon France not only as good
example, but as the example of the
fulfllment of dreams We cannot
solve our problem in any other way
than as France has solved hers with
any surety of success. She builds her
national highways first, owns them,
controls them. repairs them. She has
her departments-he divisions CORE

roads as feeders of this system, con-

RIGHT TO STRIKE.
Oklahoma Court Decides Worker May
Quit When He Chooses.

In an opinion written by Judge
Brewer, the Oklahoma supreme courr
commission has taken an advanced po.
sition on the right of organized labor
to strike in protest against the EN-
ployment of nonunioniA The latter.
according to the decision, has no cause
for action, as workingmen have the
right, In the absence of contract, to
quit whenever they choose.
The decision is the result of threat
ened strike of union miners against
the Western Coal and Mining company
at Lehigh, Okla, unless a nonunionist
was discharged. The mine foreman
complied with the request, and the
nonunionist then sued the union for
100000 damages. The lower court sus-
tained the union, and on appeal tho
state supreme court commission az
firmed the ruling.

PROFIT SHARING PLANS.
Pittsburgh Firm Has Arranged to Give
Stock to Employees.

StocN 10 employees
One of the most comprehensive profit
and ownership sharing plans that have
yet come to light has just been adopt
ed by the Kaufman Department
stores, Incorporated. of Pittsburgh
Edgar j. Kaufman, the father of the
plan, has personally assumed responsi-
bility for a donation of a fund of at
least $1,000,000 Of the common stock Of
the corporation to initiate the plan and
carry it out.
The plan, which will be carried out
through the Kaufman foundation"
now being established for that pur-
pose, provides that it shall apply to ev-
cry employee In the Kaufman stores
regardless of salary. 1t not only pro.
vides for sharing profits with employ
ees, but also for distributing to them
pro rata shares of the stock of the
company, without cost to them The
plan permits every employee to name
a beneficiary, who shall receive in case
OF the employees death a minimum of
40 per cent and maximum of 100 per
cent of the stock and profits that the
employee would have received if he or
she had lived Permanently disabled
employees will be taken care of In Il
similar way while temporary disabil-
ity will not affect the employees right
to full participation. The plan will In
no way affect the normal and usual in
crease Of salaries Of efficient employ
ees
About $500 employees will reap the
benefits OF the scheme. They will re-
cetve in the course Of five years stock
to the value Of the salaries they are
earning, though a minimum share Of
$500 has been set aside for employees
earning under that amount Twenty
per cent Of the stock due will be dis
tributed to the employees annually
which will make them full owners of
their allotted share of stock If they
continue in the firms employment for
five years. Recently this stock was val
ued at 500 q share.

Thousands of Women Receive Less
Than So Per Week.
The New York state factory investi-
eating commission, of which Lieuten-
ane Governor Robert It. Wagner is
chairman, and Abram l. Elkus of New
York city is chief counsel, has just
transmitted its report TO the legisla
ture
Figures that were submitted to the
legislature show the exceedingly low
wages paid to workers In the confec-
tionery and paper box industry The
figures for the confectionery industry.
for instance, In greater New York
show that So week is most frequent
ly quoted for girls. The majority OF
male workers receive So to $14 More
than one-half of the men receive less
than SO a week and one half of the
women receive less than $6 week
The less skilled women receive $3.50
to $3.50 week. More than two-thirds
of the girls under eighteen are rated
below $3.50 per week, and more than
one-half Of the women above this age
fail to rise above ST. AS a matter Of
fact, the earnings of these workers
is much less even, because of deduc
tions for absence and fines and be
cause of unemployment during slack
periods.
In the paper box industry the ma
jority OF the women workers are rated
under $3.50 a week Almost 1000
women. or nearly one-half of all over
eighteen years of age in the trade,
earned less than SO for n week S work.
More than 700 girls under eighteen, or
