THE PROBLEM OF THE PROFIT

Tl,o Dla.. nl..A IAsl-aL Iat-l

TT WAS interesting to notice how
l. Charles and James Magnus received
Bruno Dukes questions.
Charles always wanted to give the
fullest answers possible, but suggested
that his brother do the talking. James
was curt--I almost said discourteous-
and told Charles to give any information
asked for
This usual formula was indulged in
when Duke asked them when they
started their profit-sharing plan, how
long 1t ran and why they abandoned it.
The answer Charles gave was In sub.
stance this:
The plan was put into force nearly
two years ago and is still in operation.

ed at the end Of the present fiscal (and
calendarl year because no good results
could be traced from it.
Damn it. Charles" growled James,
don't use sissy words. The plan was
a fzzle and the fellows-a lot of un-
grateful fools. Mr.. Duke. They are.
Charles" he snapped when his brother
was about to protest. There, now you
got me tangled up. AS l was saying,
the fellows used to work like human
beings until we put in this give 'em
something for nothing plan--and since
then they've done nothing but kick
observation-disclosures they amt getting
square deal-regular 'holdup men, the
whole bunch of them"
He seemed better for having got his
ideas on profit-sharing out Of his .sys-
tenn.
I'm fact. Mr.. Duke" Charles took up
the story, I'VE must do something diff
ferent, for the organization seems to be
undermined. unfortunately-and by our
extra bonus money, too
"In as few words as possible" Duke
abruptly asked. tell me what your plan
was and how it operated"
Suppose you = James," began
Charles
mo" snapped the brother. "it's your
fool scheme"
Charles sighed and began: I'VE got
the whole force together on December
26-two years ago-and told the men
that, beginning January /. we should
make every one on the place profit
sharer with us, We would take 20
per cent Of the profit and divide it
equally among the people who had been
with us a full year. That bonus wound
be paid at the end of the year, or,
rather, as soon after stock-taking as pos
sble. 1t seemed to work fairly we'll for
month or two, the workers appeared
stimulated-then they dropped into the
old habits and worse. for l heard indi-
rectly that some of the people said we
never would give them their share, as
we should crook the books as they ex-
pressed it. in our favor.
We'll. I thought that we would be
all right after the first bonus was paid.
But while they told US they were

Damn hypocrites !" rumbled James.
Grateful" continued Charles, they
actually questioned our gift and Won
dered how we arrived at the figure

suppose they wanted us to throw open
our books for them-if they cant take
our word for 1t, they can go hang.
They should be satisfied with getting
a gift without suspicioning it,
How much profit did you make that
tirst year?" l asked. They both looked
at me. for It was the first question l
had asked.
