Profit Sharing
BOSTON, Mass., Nov. H. "Profit shar
ing seems to afford the only way out of
an Intolerable condition ot Industrial
strife." Is the "opinion of President Kmeri
tus Charles W. Kllot of Harvard univer
sity. "Democracy, plus the wage system, has
produced a state ot affairs In this coun
try which is Intolerable," said Dr. Kllot
In addressing the Club ot Printing House
Craftsmen today. "The two great- forces
of capital and labor are organized into
hostile camps, both grown strong. Some
thing fundamental In Ita nature must be
done to relieve the situation. The only
way to bring efficiency Is to give the
same motives to both capital and tabor.
Profit sharing will make every man take
anv Interest In hla work."

"I am new with the rond and for that
reason r cannot say what the future
will bring, to the' Ilock Island system.'
said Thomas M. Schumaker, cholrman
of the executive co'mmltteo and also chair
man of the board of directors ot the

"President Mudge here is better qual
ified to talk of this matter than am I,"
added the former - Omaha man, as he

Mr. Schumaker, President Mudge, Vice

On business matters. Mr. Sohumaker
said:
"I am making a tour of the Book Is
land properties and making an Inspection
as I go along. I find that all of these
stories about the road bolng In a badly
run-down condition are almost entirely
without foundation. Slnco tho first of the
week I have ridden over quite' a portion
of the 8,000 miles of tho system and that
portion that I have seen Is not su bad
as has been reported. Of course, it Is
going to take omo millions of dollars to
