PROFIT SHARING
VERSUS INVESTMENT

There are two plans in se for
giving employees a share in the pro.
fits of a business in addition to their
regular wages"
says the Chicago Tribune.
Under one, employees are invited
to save their money and buy stock
at a price far enough below its mar
ket value to serve as an incentive
Under the other, they are handed a
certain proportion of the annual sur
plus The former plan necessarily
gives the employees a small voice in
the management and the latter Is
often accompanied by some arrange.
ment TO the same end.
The investment plan is almost GER
tain to give good results for all par
ties concerned, while the purely pro-
fit sharing method is likely t. bring
more harm than benefit. Under the
former system the employee saves his
own money and invests it. thus learn
ing to practice self denial and build
ing up his character in harmony with
the highest qualities of good citizen
ship. He becomes a partner in the
business, on a small scale, and will,
almost necessarily, feel a constant
and growing interest in its success.
He will recognize the fact that in
working faithfully for the company
he is advancing his owl interests
just as truly as those of his en-
ployer. This is, of course, true in
the case of nearly all employees, even
it they receive nothing but their
wages, but they do not recognize it.
THE change thus brought about
in the employees viewpoint will tend
to qualify him for a greater voice
in the management and will make
influence in the control of bene-
fit not only to himself and fellow
employees. but to the omnanY."
