ST OCK OWNING
WORKER NEW
FACTOR
BY M. s. RUKEYER

NEW YORK, March 29.-The
real measure of American bust
ness genius is to be found less
in the balance sheets of corpora
tons than in the intelligence and
generosity with which leaders pass
along the benefits of increased
efficiency to ordinary workers.
Recent focusing of attention
on unemployment, which trade
Improvement has been alternating,
is likely to serve to lower the ex.
pectations for even higher labor
standards. Yet the wisest bust
ness leaders will not use short
term advantages in the market
place for human services to turn
back the hands in the clock of
industrial progress. The more en-
lightened employers are disposed
not only to pay a fair wage, but
to give labor in one form or an
other a participation in profits.
Easy to Be Owner
The Proctor and Gamble Com
pany long has been a leader
in helping employees to attain
financial independence. Employees
who have been with the organ
ization more than six months
and who earn less than $4,000
a year can apply to the com.
pany to buy it's own common
stock at the market in their be-
half up to the amount of the
workers annual wages. There
after the worker must apply 5
per cent Of his monthly wages
toward the payment of such
stock. The company contributes
part of the cost, making quar-
terly instruments, which are based
on 10 to 20 per cent Of the
employees annual wages. The
rate depends on the length Of
service in the corporation. After
the stock has been fully paid
for, the corporation makes the
contributions in cash.
Ordinarily it would be assumed
that common stock would be
too speculative for an individual
with no backlog of conservative
bonds. However, the company
virtually guarantees the market
for the employee, agreeing to re-
fund the original cost If the
stock has deprecated at the time
when the employe leaves the
employ of the company. II the
employee resigns after he has been
in the plan a year, he receives
such stock as has been paid up.
On the other hand, if he leaves
before he has participated for a
year, he gets back only such
cash payments as he has made.
An actual survey shows that
upwards Of ~ per cent of all
employees are eligible to partici-
pate, and that of the eIigibles
SO per cent to 100 per cent have
takes advantage of it in each
of the five main plants of the
enterprise.
Noticeable Effect
What effect does such stock
ownership have on the mental
attitude of the worker? Halt
own only four shares or less.
AS for the other half with a
larger stake, Herbert Feis, of
the University of Cincinnati, who
has completed an elaborate, i'm
partial study of the plan, reports
in the Review of Reviews: Il
should say that ownership is
great enough to change the in
dividual outlook. A good fifth
of the participants own more
than 10 shares; and several hum
dred of the oldest employees
who possess 20 shares or more
are definitely in the class of i'm
portant property holders. having
benefited greatly by the steady
rise in the market value of the
stock.

Mexico Land Problem
Being Eased by Morrow

Disposal of the vexatious oil con-
troversy has paved the way for
early adjustment of remaining issues
between the United States and Mex
leo, officials here believe.
The State Department declines TO
reveal at the present stage of nego-
tiations between Amba ssador Nor
row and President Gales in Mexico
City, the expected nature of the
final adjustment in the principal
outstanding problem-the agrarian
land laws, under which large tracts
of American-owned land were seized.
But from other quarters it was
learned that Morrow's diplomacy
has been almost as successful IN
this issue as in the involved oil
dispute.

1t now appears as though Germany
