|EMPL0YE OWNERS
Of j. s. STEEL
STOCK OFFERINGS TO EMPLOYEES
ANNOUNCED LAST WEEK AT
$4,000 PER SHARE-PRICES TO
EMPLOYEES GIVEN IN ATTACHED
TABLE SINCE 1903.
(Skilling's Mining Review

(Skilling's Mining Review
The announcement last week that
the annual offering of common stock
for subscription by its employees, by the
United States Steel Corporation, at
$4,000 a share, is reminder of the
very great success which has attended
this plan which was inaugurated In
1903. Comparatively little is said
about it in the public prints, but a
little inquiry will easily disclose that
vast total has been saved by thous-
ands of employees Of the corporation
and its subsidiaries in this manner.
It is manifest that it was the pur-
pose of the Steel Corporation to en-
courage thrift and steadfastneSS on the
part of its employees To achieve this
plan of payments for the stock offered
annually was liberal, and certain adj
vantages accrue to those subscribers
who have the determination and
patience to earn them. Not all men
persevere, however, and the advantages
which they would have enjoyed go into
a jackpot" which is shared by those
who do. The offerings of stock have
stimulated ambition in thousands of
men. Many have saved for the first
time in this manner, and those who
have shared in the offerings for some
years have accumulated a substantial
sum- There are miners in the en-
ploy of the Oliver Iron Mining Com
pany throughout the Lake Superior
district who still have the first shares
that they subscribed for, and have not
missed an offering since 1903. The
same is true of the employees of other
subsidiaries of the Steel Corporation.
The annual offering of common
stock is about 100000 shares each
year, and this amount has been offered
for some years. It is of interest to
look back to the earlier offerings. To
begin with the Steel Corporation
offered preferred stock only, from 1903
to 1907 inclusive. But in 1903 there
was an offering of both preferred and
common. The offering of preferred
was $4,000 shares, at s110, and $4,000
shares common at $50. In 1910 there
was an offering of preferred only but
in 1911. The offering of both pre-
ferred and common shares continued
to and including 1914. Since that year
no preferred stock has been offered.
All offerings since have been of COM
mon stock only. There was no offering
Of any stock for subscription in 1915,
which was the only interruption from
1903 to 1881.
The dividends on stock of the United
States Steel Corporation constitute a
very large item in the bank deposits
of the Lake Superior region, and of
which total the dividends on stock
owned by employees of the corporation
is an outstanding feature.
Following is a list of the prices per
share from the beginning of the plan
I'D to the present:

GENERALS OF SAME NAME
HAVE THE SAME BIRTHDAY

February is the anniversary of the
birthday of two famous generals who
had the same family name, Cbut were
not related; rose to virtually the same
position in the same army, then re-
signed from it to enter the service of
another army in which they held the
same rank But the parallelism ends
there for death came to one at the
height Of his career and the other lived
on through endless strife and trouble
to a future which was an anti-climax.
Do you know who these two men
were? If not, you viii find the answer
in an illustrated feature article by
Elmo Scott Watson in this issue of
The Miner. Look for the title-"Same
Birthday. Same Name; Same Army
