Thoughtful .I'iservers'lf the perpetual and dinastrous struggle* between capital and labour mu*l often have wondered why a prosimatR solution of the whole problem nas not long since been found in the principle of profit-sharing. The wonder still growi, for thii system, in some of the many form* n which it has been and is now lieing sue- ceMiully applied, must have in it the essen- ' tial qualities of the remedy so sadly needed. ! to its logical re-: ills the principle of. profit sharing should develop such pot. -i y t. >r the correction of whatever is unjust in the ordinaiy distribution of the fruits of in- dustry as would make it a veritable panacea fur all troubles arisincjcii tluss.;oro l-emc-n employers and employed. A Parliamentary return which has been recently published, in J Kngland gives much interesting information withregard to the extent towhich profit shar- ing has already beenVarried in ditlercnt conn- ti let. The chief forms in which the system is . I opted may be briefly characterized as the I...:HM, the provident fund, the joint ownership system and the cash payment out of net prolitr. The bonus syxtem, which consists simply nf the distribution of it yearly gift or tiiank-oilering to the work- ers, is litly dcucrilmd as the "chrysalis stage ot profit-sharing," and we shall not prolul.ly tie far astray if we regard the oi.l.: in v. !u. !i other methods are nai>'i| above .is indicaling successive stage) of its development.
