PROFIT SHARING.

In these DAYS Of economic unrest and frequent strikes, it
is good to know of one large concern where strikes are
unknown and happy relations exist between employees and
employer. The Proctor and Gamble company, manufac-
tIrers Of soap and other articles have this fine record
VIM Cooper Proctor the president Of the concern notes
that in one year before ii adopted pro6hanng the con-
Germ had had no fewer than strikes he men al inc
head Of the concern believed this was an unhealthy cond
ton which could be remedied, they nauguraed proat

Is one representative for each SO persons his year the

They also have group insurance. pension and benefit Plans
which are operated by their employees.
The spirit animahng all this work is though, the sig

trial revival is taking place in that country In this
country and England, however conditions are worse
now than they were five six months ago. and If there
