How the Rewards Will Cone.
Our only deccration-the almighty
dollar--is receding into the background.
The man Of exceptional ability, Of
more than ordinary talent, will here
after look for his rewards, for his
honors, not in one direction but in
two :-First--and foremost-in some
public work accomplished and, second
arily, in wealth acquired.
In place Of having it said Of him at
his death that he left SO many hundred
thousand dollars II win be said that he
rendered certain amount Of public
service and, incidentally. left certain
amount of money.
Such goal will prove far greater
satisfaction to him, he will live more
rational, worth while life and he will
be doing his share to provide 4 better
country in which to live.
! have two reasons for believing that
future conditions will be as have briefly
sketched them:
First. because the world Ia being
drawn together In one centralized
community through the wonderful
development in science and he
marvellous work Of the inventor.
Second. because In our country
especially we are entering upon
now stage Of development. which
calls loudly for men who will rem

We face new conditions. and in order
to survive and succeed We will require
different spirit Of public service.

1t II Inevitable because strikes nad
lockouts can never he setticd sntisfac-
torily ar permanently ny merely rails
lag a mass wages.
1t is inevitable because it gives sta
bilty To business and because it is as
sdeanta geous 10 capital as TO labor.
As matter al fact. when working
man strikes it is not merely to secure an
increase in his wage; that is what the
papers tell US the trouble is all about
and that is what he asks for: but way
down underneath what he IL really
striking for Is larger percentage OF
the profit. of the business.
He may not realize this, but, sub
consciously, this is precisely what he is
doing.
No mere increase in wages can ever
satisfactorily solve this problem. 1t can
be solved only On the basis of profit
sharing.
fsy profit sharing do not mean bonus
giving. | mean actual profit sharing
plans based on the earnings Of the bush
ness. with fair percentage to capital
and fair percentage to labor after ordi-
nary wages and interest have been
earned
Profit sharing can be done satisfact-
orily only when the business concern
makes pubic lis transactions, so that
the laborer and the stockholder can know
as much about the business as does the
manager himself
In the adjustment of difficulties he
tween capital and labor I nm confi-
dest that open books will accomplish

These changes are far-reaching and
fundamental. What arc we goin: to
do about it? What is TO be our mental
attitude: How are we going to handle
these problems?
Can we approach them from the same

The freedom of the business man TO
do as hc pleases is now being seriously
challenged. aud | most heartily agree
with what Mr. John ID. Rockefeller. Jr..
said recently at Cornell University 10
the effect that Que of the chief quail
tications fer manager OF large bust
ness concern is rapidly coming to be
the human quality and ability TO adjus,
differences between capitalist and
laborer and 10 understand their reia-
tionship.
Until recent years little broad think
ing was given to this problem and diff
fcrences were settled on the basis Of
might makes right" All this is rapidly
changing and we are entering a period
Of new industrial relationships
In the long ago the relationship be-
tween capital and labor was that of
owner and slave, then came the period
Of master and mau, then the period Of
employer and emplose. each period he

In my Judgment we arc just now en-
tcring period Of copartucrshiP.
where tho tool nser will he part teei
owner and where capital md labor
will share more cquitsbis In the prof

jointly engaged.
This advance is inevitable because of
our educational system, which teaches
the working man to think for himself.
1t ~ inevitable because intcrcon,muni.

point of view as did our fathers, who
lived in strictly individuaiistic age:
Can We approach them from the knowl-
edge we have gained from law books
which were written in the individualistic
age? If VIC do, we will be combating

and new conditions provided in large

The Richmond Virginian. (Richmond, Va.) 1910-1920, 1917-04-08

What is the outlook? Is it sad, pes
simistic future that unfolds? Does life
hardly seem worth living under the new
conditions or does it hold out an opti-
mistic future, with finer opportunities
and more worth while goals?
Let me see if can picture it as
see it. First, just a glance into the past.
About the only goal we have had has
been the almighty dollar. The first
question asked when a man dies is,
How much was he WORTH" with
scarcely thought as to how much he
did for his community or his country.
But what has it all amounted to:
Have the men who have lived and worked
simply TO acquire great fortunes OBJ
tanned peace of mind, happiness and
honor Haw many of them could answer
yes:
Has the country been benefited by
the course they have taken? A very
large majority Of our countrymen would
answer no"
On the whole, the indivfdaalistic ase
has mot been = success, either fer the
Individual. or the consmunity In which
he has lived. or the natisa.
We are, beyond question, entering ON
period where the welfare Of the COM
munity takes precedence over the inter
ests Of the individual and where the lib
