Buying Out the Boss

Would things run smoothly if
employees by purchase became
their own employers? Not un-
less they united in an organiza-
ton with almost military discip-
line to handle the management.
Petty iealousies and rivalries
would be fatal. Every business,
to be efficient, must have Real
Boss at its head, the same as
an army must have a staff pre-
sided over by a general with the
power of decision.
One of the six oldest firms in
the United States is Devoe &
Reynolds, Co., Inc, manufac-
turers of paints and painters
materials. 1t has been active for
40 years.
Sixteen of this company's en-
ployes have recently taken over
the business. They bought a
controlling interest. 1t required
lot of money from each of
the 10, it's big business.
Such stories are becoming
common - a small group of
leading employees purchasing the
interests of their boss.
Later you will frequently read
that thousands of employees
have, by pooling their savings.
bought out their employer.
This may be the eventual So
luton of the labor-capital prob
lem.
1t certainly would go a long
way toward making every man
more or less his own boss.
The income of the American
people for six years is just about
equivalent to the entire national
wealth. 1t is more than enough
to buy all the business organiza-
tons In the country, including
sources of raw materials, rail-
roads and marketing organiza-
lions.
Of course, all this income ism t
available for any such purpose.
Living expenses have to be met
hrst. Only savings could be de-
voted to buying ownership of
industry.
But it all illustrates the 81
gantc power of the peoples
savings. By organization and
sufficient time, employees could
buy out all employers.

tiers discarded the monarchy
idea in government. But they

BOOM

80 goes the steel industry, so
goes general business. This coun-
try's production of steel ingots in
september was half more than in
July, the very dull month. One
more climb like that and the stee.
mills will be operating at top speed,
capacity, advertising for help.
American industry certainly must
be IN good health when its recuper-
atlve power is so great. To crawl
halfway out of hard times in go
days is quite feat. Old-time panics
used to drag along for years.

days IS quite feat. Old-tine panics

Persisted
It's the iron age. For every 100
tons of steel manufactured in
year, Al tons wear out by use and
by rust. The rest is more durable
such as rails, bridges and ma
chinery that last for years.
But the wearing out of such a
large amount, and the need of new
steel to replace it, insures the mills
of a good "blacklog" of orders. So
with other industries. The necessity
of replacing the old and worn-out
with the new to take its place would
bring business booms if nothing else
did.
LOW
For country facing enormous
reparations payments, Germany Ger

The German governments gross
public revenues, from taxes ana oil

than two billion American dollars
year. While that's a respectable
sum, and far beyond the grasp Of
most imaginations, it isn't amiss to
point out that victorious Amerieaps
are paying about twice as mgch
taxes as vanquished Germans. Of
course, our population is nearly
twice as big. We can wish you Moth

proved methods. being constantly ifs-, stalled to reduce the hazards, but it is equally important that instruction be given the workers ;on caution and means of avoiding accidents ts
 Much progress has been made along this line in'the last few years. Operators have learned that, even from an economic standpoint and aside from the, human tarian aspect, the cost of safety is justi- fled. So along with the purpose of pro tecting human life goes that of prevent ing financial losses. One careless or ig- norant miner can be responsible for the death, or injury of many fellow workers. It is to prevent such accidents that opera tors have installed costly apparatus and
 have encouraged the training of opera tives in their use.
 There is no industrial field in which the principle of an ounce of prevention is worth pound of cure finds more direct application That is the chief considera- tion; exhibitions of skill in First Aid work are valuable public lesson. At the meeting today, industrial leaders and physicians will attend, and witness the progress which has been made in this important enterprise since the last an- nual meeting. They are directly inter- ested in all improvements to prevent min ing accidents, and the interest of opera tives is demonstrated by the fact that forty-five teams will participate in the contests. ]t

Watching The Parade
By JOHN PILGRIM

" YER name is Alice. Which is not an H suspicious manner in which to begin
 an anecdote, perhaps, but there you are. She is as full of nervous twitters and energy and ambition us Q snake is of curves She racked herself to pieces trying to do things. But she did not get anywhere;
 II am a failure" she confessed, miserably. That was heart-rending confession for a proud woman. People would not listen to her, she said. One reason was that she could not keep to her line of vocal march. She. kept wandering off into the brush. She tried to cram so much into her conversation that the other fellow grew confused;
 "So I've given up," she said. I'm going to be calm. I'll admit that have failed"
 Whereupon sle immediately became sue cess Then she grew nervous and she failed tor began to whiz and bang and she failed again. Then she resigned herself to Failure and succeeded. She realized these facts, but as few of us are able to see ourselves clearly, she did not realize their meaning.
 Tt was only that you began to run the machine at q pace for which it had been in- tended by nature told her "A twenty mile an-hour car cannot be run forty miles an hour without something shaking loose. When you deliberately slowed down you regained your mental harmonies. Your gears ceased to clash and rattle"
 We are not all alike, thanks to q beneficent provision of Providence. Some people so to pieces when they slow down. Others. smash when they speed up. It's good idea to find one's speed limit. Then stick to it.

PROGRESS OF INVENTION.

A decade or so ago nobody would have dreamed it possible successfully to launch an airplane from dirigiblc at an alti- tude of twenty-five hundred fet, as was done for the first time at Dayton the other day. In fact, neither airplane nor dirigible had attained any great degree of development up to few years ago. Now they are experimenting to ascertain whether aircraft will not soon put bat tleships out of commission so far as con- cerns their original purpose.
 It goes to show what wonderful de- velopment has been made :n the fields of invention and discovery. Such prog ress has been witnessed within the last few years that scarcely anybody dares to discount possibilities as to further de- velopment. No sooner does one invenv tion approach perfection, or even practi- cal application, than another develops as to balance it. A few years ago warships needed protection against range-finding, and the smoke screen soon solv d the problem The uses of electricity, which were practically undeveloped within the memory of some living citizens, have been extended until now they cover hundreds of needs in domestic as well industrial fields. Who would have thought ten years ago that it would be possible to reproduce pictures hundreds of miles dis tant by wireless? <
 Scientific observers hesitate to declare that anything is impossible. Even per petual motion has.not been despaired of. Verify, we are living in an inventive age. There has been more development in the fields of invention and discovery during the last twenty years than in any other hundred years in the ''istory of the race. Those who deplore and its conse- quences need not become unduly exer- cised over prospects of this evil much longer. At the present rate of progress in the field of science there is reason to believe that war will become so destruc- tive as to prohihit the richest and most powerful nations from risking it's terri ble effects.
