! TUE FORD PROGRAM OF PROFIT-SHARlNG.

5. coincident with the begin ning of the New Year the ]. Ford Motor Company has announced 2 a further develop ment of it's proit-sharing plan calculated to increase thrift on the part of it's employees and give them a strong inter est in the success of the busi-. ness.4
 Under the plan,. employees will be enabled to buy certifi- cates of investment in the company guaranteed to return six per cent a year, and will also participate in a distribu- ton of bonuses that will run sS,OOO,00O to $10,000,000.
 It would seem that the Ford spirit, as exemplified in its consistent efforts to give employees an interest in the success of the great business of which they are a part, if spread throughout industry, should solve most of the in- dustrial troubles now perplex- ing the country. Fair deal- ing,a coming spontaneously from a corporation, is bound, in the very nature of things, to elicit fair dealing from en- ployes. Men work harder in their own interests than they do i'll the interests of others. They do not strike against themselves. 3
 The Ford plan gives en- ployes that active interest in the company's plans that is ouund to bring forth their pest individual efforts; The spirit is one of fair dealing Nnlch If applied to all the great industries of the country would no doubt result in the summation of most of the rso- ealled unrest that. is hamper hg industry. y.-Arkansas Dem- Ocrat.
