Germ. Announcement has jus. been
made of the results that came of the
gigantic profit sharing plan recently
offered by the company to it's people.
The avidity with which workers,
from label stickers to managers,
seized the opportunity to become
partners in the business, is nothing
short of a sensation at the company's
headquarters in Chicago.
So great was the demand for shares
from employees that the company set
aside sufficient stock to take care OF
such employees as are in the army
and navy and who will be back with
in the next few months.
eve are pleased" declared F. S.
Hayward, secretary of the company,
Eat what we look on as vote of
confidence on the part of our en-
ployes. Their response to our offer
has been fairly amazing. l believe
today that our stock ledgers will show
a greater proportion of employe
shareholders than any other large
manufacturing concern in the coun-
try"
Stock which had been turned into
the treasury some time ago afforded
the company an opportunity which it
had long sought-to offer shares to
employees at par. Accordingly, the
stock subscription books were opened
last May on the following plan:
Each employee earning up to $40 a
week was allowed to purchase one
share of stock at its par value, $500.
The market quotation is much above
this. Employees earning $50 and up
to $50 week are entitled to two
shares; $50 and up to $40 a week,
three shares; $40 and up to $50 a
week, four shares; so and over, five
shares. No employee was allowed to
purchase more than five shares. The
stock is to be paid for at the rate
of 81 a share per week.
Employees whose economies for the
immediate future were committed to
the purchase of liberty bonds were
given the right to reserve stock by
making a $40 deposit on each share;
no further payment was required OF
them until they had completed pur-
chase of their war bonds. The only
pledge asked of any one taking ad-
vantage of the proposition was that
he should look on his purchase as an
investment and not a speculation.

"to put 10000 new shareholders on

Thinks Senator Kenyon Is Spoofins
To the Editor Of the Evening Public Ledger:
Sir-Much space has been given in
the Philadelphia papers to discussion of
the bill recently introduced in the
United States Senate by Senator Ken
yon, of Iowa.
The writer has secured and carefully
read copy of this bill, and I am
wondering If the author of the bill is
really serious or only spoofing.
1t seems, highly improbable that n
staid and dignifed senator could per-
petrate such a joke Willingly; SO he
must be serious.
The terms of the bill give to the Sec
retary of agriculture power "to regu- =
late the production, sale and distribu :
tion of livestock and livestock prodr
ucts." A regular 'he- mans job. "
Then. as a side issue, the secretary OF
agriculture ''can regulate all firms do:
ing an annual business of half million
dollars or more in dairy products.
Why favor the handlers Of dairy prod
ucts? This would certainly be class
legislation in the same bill.
The one redeeming feature is that he
considerably intends giving the regu
latory powers to Mr.. Houston instead
of Mr.. Burleson.
To prove that he is regular ''gost

packers can't operate their own refrig-
orator cars or maintain stockyards
where shippers can feed and hold their
livestock.
One of the reasons why we easterners
get good fresh meat is because the big
packers are equipped to supply us. "
they should be deprived of this equip
ment and have to depend on the gov
ernment controlled railroads for it, the
Lord save us!
Senator Kenyon seems to be work
ing on the principle that if concern
grows big by giving good service and
selling goods at a lower price than less
efficient competitors can they ought TO
be roped, thrown, tied and branded as
dangerous. That is what they are do :

of other folks are interested in rs vi

Living And'I would like to know
how the senator figures to do this by
enacting a law that will tear down al
efficient system of distribution. Will
you, for the benefit of your readers, ask
Senators Kenyon and Kendpick in your
columns how they purpose to bring
down the cost of living by the passage
OF their bills? I am unable to find any
provision for this.
The senator seems to be peeved be
cause other people don't agree with him
and is hurt because the packers ar.
protesting against the seizure of their
property. / suppose that If some one
wanted to take control of his big ranch
in Iowa and run it to suit themselves
he would sit on the front porch, smile

sition to the senator's "brain Storm

gresham should know that we expect

Indorses Editorial Stand

To the Editor Of the Evening Public Ledger:
Sir-Permit me to congratulate you
on your editorial this evening calling
for the prompt defeat of the French
treaty by the Senate. You very truly
observe that the country is awaking
from it's delusions, More clearly every
day it is seeing HON basely it was be-
trayed at Paris. Fine words it has had
aplenty. But all the actions have been
of different order.
The treaty alliance with France
is in harmony with the agreement to
give Shantung to Japan. Both are In
defiance of the principles of the fourteen
points. But as long ago as last Feb
ruary Mr.. Wilson told the world THAT
principles never did interest him. He
made the declaration to committee OF
Frenchmen, who waited on him just
before he left Paris to some home for
a brief visit. Because principles prove
themselves when stated" said he, IL
have never been interested in them
There can be no longer discussion about
principles. 1t is only about the appli
cation of principles that there can bt
longer discussion"
Analyze that statement and you will
have the key to Mr.. Wilson's mind
The thing that is to be applied has nc
interest for his mind. 1t is the appli
cation. not the principle, that interests
him, for there can be large discussion
about the application, whereas there
can be none about the principle. WheI
he opens his mind to us in this fashion
we are able to understand why he never
stands by any of his principles. II,
does not regard them as binding. HI
only regards his application of them Al

Evening at Belmont

-NS"''S ~
TO the Editor Of the Evening Public Ledger:
Sir-I am inclosing herewith poem
for your perusal, which l hope you will
find interesting and written well enough
for your column. The coming political
crisis in Philadelphia measurably af-
fected the inspiration (if such it may
be called of the last two stanzas. Very
truly yours,
f. PAUL HUTTINGER.
What nober challenge finds its home
Under the twilight's peaceful dome,
In him who seeks higher goal;
What patriots heart could not be
stirred
in the cleaning when that silent word
Softly whispers to his soul
At Belmont?
Through city gates the masses flow
On pleasure bent-seeking to bestow
Affection on alluring strands.
And Belmont, deserted as commonplace,
Except by those whose slower pace
Hangs heavy on their hands.
flushed are the cries at eventide
OF sportive youth--and motors glide
Smoothly by like phantom ships;
Below, the Schuylkill's mirror plane
Shows clearly the bridge again
That touches twice her lips.
Above it, the battlements rise,
, Blotting the darkening eastern skies
With hues of still deeper night
Whose knife like edges blur in the mist
OF smoking chimneys bathed and kissed
By one last ray of light.
Then. twinkling through the distant
bruno,
A jewelcd necklace dispels the gloom,
And then another fairy fare;
Till. one by one, in full array,
A siren beckons me to play,
A captive without care.
, Never was Dante lured by charm
OF Florence, PROSTATE meath the arm
! OF Medici-nor more mortified
Than l when came this moving theme,
Then misunderstanding a waking dream
OF city gloriied.
A city whereof ashes of the past
Are eloquent. And whose faith is fast
In her-high or low,
To him who seeks to be inspired,
Who longs to have his spirit fired,
Suffice to bid him 60
To Belmont!
e. p. HUTTINGER.
