STEAMSHIP LINES WILL SHARE
 EARNINGS WITH ITS EMPLOYEES

NEW YORK, May 17-Earn-
 ings of the 97-year-old Hudson
 River Night Line, which operates passenger and freight steamships between New York, Albany and
 Troy, will be divided equally be- tween stockholders and employees after six percent has been re- alized on property value, under the plan of Colonel E. c. Car rington. chairman and president
 Colonel Darlington says his plan is based upon sound eco- monies, not benevolence, because it promotes employe incentive to work for successful operation. He has suggested that it might well be applied to the railroads.
 "Six percent is fair return for the tools we furnish onr men in the capital represented by boats, pier facilities and docking rights" Colonel Darlington told The Associated Press. Anything above that in all justice should be shared by the stockholders with those who operate the line. I believe that the captain and pilot play just as large a part in the successful operation of our line as the executive officers, and want to furnish them an incen- tive. l have not put forward this plan out of any spirit of benevol- ence, but because it is solid eco nomics."
 Colonel Darlington recently ad- vised railroad traffic executives that the plan could be adopted by the railroads of the country if Congress would repeal Section 15-A of the Transportation Act, which requires that all railroad earnings over six percent be di- vided equally between the gov ernment and the company. The share goes into fund to be used for loans tol weaker carriers, but Colonel Car rington believes this unsound practice because it encourages of railroads in terri :, tory which cannot support them.
