B | c CONCERNS
NOW HELP
WORKER
BY SAMUEL LEHRER

NAA@tA@A~A4 A@A@AAA@MAAA
American Cans closing Of a
contract for a $50 900 900 group
insurance policy is interesting
from the point Of view OF the
changed attitude of the large COT.
poration toward its workers.
The present trend is toward
more personal contact and away
from the stand-off policy Of 20
years ago.
More and more large corpora
tions are learning the value of
stock ownership by employees,
group insurance and various un-
employment plans to take the
grief out Of business depression
for the worker.
An example Of a long step In
this direction was taken several
weeks ago by the General EIec-
trio Company with the announce.
ment Of it's scheme for the aid of
such men who might be forced
out Of jobs. The company formu- :
lated a plan whereby each en-
ploye would have the option Of as
seSSing himself a small amount
each week and the company
would then deposit in the fund
the same amount. Should the
man then be thrown out of work
he would not have to worry Tor
the unemployment fund would
step in and tide him over until
times became better.
Employees Share Profits
In the line Of stock offerings
to employees big business has
tried it and found it successful.
Endicott-J Johnson is an out
standing example of employe
stock-ownership and also in the
direct participation of profits.
Each year after the annual divi-.
dend and the retirement fund
provisions on the preferred stock
have been taken care Of one
half of the balance Of profits are
distributed to the workman in
cash or stocks. All the workers
in the employ of the company
for at least two years share alike,
which means that the highest
paid and the lowest paid worker
receive the same amount in cash
or common stock. In November,
1929, employees of the company
owned almost $4,000 shares OF
common and preferred stock.
The Hearst Consolidated Pub
lications, Inc, holding company
for a number of the most profit
able Hearst publications in its
recent stock offering set aside
100000 shares for its employees.
The stock may be bought outright
or by partial payments spread
over a period of two years during
which time interest is given on
such money as may have already
been paid.
Idea Is Growing
There are a great many other
companies which have adopted
this plan of selling stock. Among
them are the Pennsylvania Rail
road Co., the Niagara Hudson
Power Co., the United Cigar
Stores, the Sinclair Consolidated
Oil Co., the Hershey Chocolate.
and many other companies both
large and small.
On July 18 the Michelin Tire
Co. announced that bonus money
approximating 100000 would be
offered to the TOO employees who
had been out of work since the
plant closed down,

SURE RECOVERY
F OR RADIO
By EDWARD DIXON

Publication some time next
week of the Radio Corporation Of
Americas report for the six
months ended June 80, last, is one
of the big topics in the financial
district. -.
Considerable attention is cur
rently focused on the operations
of not only Radio Corporation Of
America, but the entire industry.
The radio industry has just
passed through one of its most
critical stages and earnings Of the
various companies have been Seri-
ously affected by curtailed buying
and over-production. It is doubt
full whether many Of the compan-
les will show profits for the cur
rent year.
Yet the worst appears to have
been passed in the industry and
if the anticipated pickup in busi.
ness occurs during the final
months of the year there is a
possibility that earnings reports
for 1880 will prove to be muc1
better than predicted in early
estimates.
Stocks Now at Low Ebb
Dealers stocks and plant in
ventorieS are at a low ebb, and
leaders in the industry are an
ticipating a quickening of buying
activity with the advent Of au.
tumn.
The radio industry has grown
by leaps and bounds. In 1927
the total volume Of radio 5usi.
ness for the country was Only
$2,000,00O. BY 1927 this had in.
creased to $3.50, ,000, 900 and last
year it went over the $700, 0,O00, 900
mark.
Small Companies Hit
The small companies were the
hardest hit by the buyers strike
and many of them were forced
into receivership. Large inven.
tories, the result of overproduc-
stion, were chiefly responsible for
this condition.
That the industry is turning
the corner and starting on the
upgrade again is seen in the
recent announcement by the R.
C. A.-Victor Corporation Of its
increase in operations.
The schedule of that company
has been raised to 5000 sets q
day and approximately 10000
workers have been added to the
payroll.
e. e. Shumaker, president Of
the corporation. says there was
nothing. fundamentally wrong
with business at the present
time.
"The tremendous and for
ward-lOOking plans that we are
making in Camden" he. said,
"and the employment of thou
sands Of people are definite
proofs of our confidence in the
immediate future, which can
not help but have its influence
If we let the world know about
it,"
Absorb OverprOductiOn
In another statement this week
before the musical instrument
dealers from Eastern PennsyI
vania, New York and Delaware,
at Philadelphia, Mr.. Schumaker
said that overproduction has
been absorbed and the ball Of
enlarged business activity will
start rolling shortly"
"R. C. A. Victor" he said, sis
going 20 start something. We
are going Co run our plant nc c.
pacity until it Is proven that We
are wrong"
