Rosenwasser Wants to Donate Good Will and Have Workers Buy As- sets With Future Profits Will Guard Against Losses.

New York, Jan. , P-Morris Ros- onWasscr who 32 years ago founded the shoe manufacturing firm of RosonWasScr Brothers, Inc, and since has built up the business 10 valuation between Sl,U00,000 and S3,00o, 1000, says he is working hard cr trying to turn it over o his em- ploycs than he did in building it.
 His plan is to make a gift of the good will but to have the employes purchase the assets from the future profits. Actual work along these lines was started January ?.
 Mr. RosenWasser pointed out to- day that when he first considered the plan he looked upon it as a business experiment.. Now, he real i2es that he has undertaken q huge experiment in human nature.
 They Want The Envelope
 Not the least difficulty was con- vincing several old employees that they could safely leave the weekly pay cheek for an interest in the business. The weekly envelope he found has become such a symbol of financial stability to certain old en- ployes not holding executive posi- tions, that they cannot comprehend a system which eliminates it in favor of dividends.
 To eliminate this objection and others, Mir. Rosenwasser determined 10 establish four companies in addi- ton to the parent company, divid- ing the departments of manufacture
 Some Arc Mistrustful
 While some employees were mis- l trustful, others were over eager tC annex their new shares. Several skilled workers refused the offer, il was pointed out, while the porter who daily sweeps the sidewalks around the large plant at Long Is land City rivaled the chosen eXecu' tives in enthusiasm.
 Nlr. Rosenwasscr said he con ccived the plan two years ago. anC has since been training some of tht men for executive duties. None 0 the new executives is over 35.
 The president of one of the neV companies is only 2S, and one execu live was drawing a salary of hu SIP per week until recently, NIT Rosenwasser declared.
 Won't Permit Losses
 The retiring president pointed ou that to help his employees in getiin started. the parent company vii continue an entity, and it's presiden will supervise the actions of the ne7 officers. If they make profits" h said, All well and good. But ] can not see them make a loss"
 "I believe we have established precedent" he continued; "whic will be followed by many when th success of our organization has be come assured as 1 know it will be.

WASTE HIT BY
GOV. R|TCH|E

Waste, extravaganza, inefficiency
and Indifference flourish in the ed
ministration or State and Federal
Governments OF the country, Gov.
Albert G. Richie. Of Maryland,
told big business today before
the fourteenth annual convention
of the United States Chamber Of
Commerce which held its general
session today.
Group meetings and luncheons
were held during the day at the
Willard Hotel and the chambers Y
new home. These discussed agri-
culture, civic development, finance,
and manufacture. Self government
in business from the Government
standpoint and the relations Of the
States and the Federal Government
formed the basis of the general
which viii be held at the Willard
tonight Secretary Hoover viii
speak at the dinner.
Gov. Ritchie characterized Amer
lea as the greatest business nation
in the world but added that the
Government does mt reflect this
leadership.
IF business unseIfishly recOg-
nized its political obligations as il
should. it would be the one force
that could nneasurabIy cure these
evils" Richie declared in charging
up to big business what he termed
Government shortcomings.
I'm spite of recent scandals. how.
ever, think there is less business
corruption and less selfish business
politics in our governmental sys
tenn than many people think.
Turning to the ills OF business
administration, Rifchie asserted thai
economic problems cannot be solved
by legislation. He warned business
men that they must build up an
efficient self-government IL bust
ness suffers from too much govern
mental interference. business alone
is to blame, according to Ritchie.
by developing eif-government
so managed as to throw off the
incubus OF excessive governmental
interference and regulation, bust
ness can solve many of the prob
lens which men now strive to solve
through the ballot. Governor
Ritchie said.
Decline in Prestige
Legislative bodies have suffered
decline In power and prestige
all over the world. largely because
they have assumed burden which
business itself should have borne,
according to Ritchie. He added,
however, that business never can
be entirely free since It always win
be an obligation Of the Govern
ment to keep open the door OF OPP
portunity for all and to prevent
the abuse Of Industrial power.

President Haynes mentioned the
three C's as primary essentials to
credit: Character. Capacity and
Capital With these established,
declared the speaker. "the procure
ment OF credit should not be diff
ficult matter for anyone.
Capacity" qualified Mr.. Haynes,
means. Of course, ability to carry
forward the undertaking for which
the credit accommodation is de-
sired or to meet the credit payments
when due"
Declaring that ssthe human ele-
ment is a vital necessity In the
matter OF credit extension" Mr..
Haynes amplified the point with a
number of convincing examples and
anecdotes.
1--WE have come to q time" said
the speaker, when it is absolutely
necessary to pump life blood into
commerce and industry. This can
only be done by credit, and credit
properly and wisely given. This
means that those engaged in occu-
nations under credit departments
must be thoroughly schooled in
psychology. finance and modern
merchandising methods as well as
In business law and general busi-
ness and banking practices.
Vary much In line with the ef-
forts of Washington bankers and
the Better Business Bureau Is the
advocacy by Secretary Of the Treas
my A w. Mellon In an article In
the current issue of the Bankers
Association Journal OF a national
policy for preventing the sale OF
fraudulent securities. The fact tnat
this city has been for years. and
still is. one Of the most prortabie
picking grounds for the exploitsr
of innocent investors, gives particu-
lar emphasis to the warning Of the
head of the Treasury Department.
ssOne OF the important problems
confronting this country Is the pre-
yeution OF the sale OF fraudulent
securities" Mr.. Mellon says. The
state governments are doing what
they can to combat this evil. The
Federal Government itself Is ex-
ercising the full power of its regu-
latory organizations to lessen the
the perpetration Of frauds through
the mails. In spite Of all, more
than half a billion dollars, 1t is
estimated, are lost each year, largely
by small investors. In many In
stances this could nave been pre-
vented If the investing public had
been impressed with the necessity
for investigating the security or
asking the opinion OF some COM
petent adviser" !"
