Judge Orosscup of Chicago contribute! a second article to the June number of the American Illustrated Magazine. In which he detail hl plan for corporation control. In hi firm article.

CMI service examinations may secure capable men. but no civil service examnatlon can assign the right man to the right place, can pick out of the thousand capable men Just the kind of capability that Is fitted to this place. nd Just the kind that Is fitted to that.

' Judge Orosscup la against government ownership except In the case of aome mu nicipalities and their public utilltlea. He declares that the remedy for the trust problem lies rather In public control , through Individual ownership, and in this article, which he calls "The Rebirth of the Corporation," he endeavor to show how, with a foundation of national incorporation, the problem would begin to solve Itself. "The corporation," he says, "la no aln In Itself. Ownership Incorporated la no aln la Itself. The corporation, as the legal method of wielding large masses of Indi vidual resources to a common end has been one of the most helpful agenclea of mod ern life. But the corporation left to do aa It pleases emancipated from all care aa to Its character and birth, and all watchful ness of its conduct afterward is the cause ' of the great sin that has grown up within the vast property domain covered by cor porate ownership." Proprietorship fey the Few. The resulting monopoly of proprietorship by the few to the exclusion of the many, he argues, also. Is not bocause the actual weiiHh of the country la owned by the few. It Is still owned, he says, by the people, but the people at large have been content to deposit that wealth on financial streams, which In turn converge In the great money centers, and, once there, these treama are turned again. In ono form or another. Into the great corporate enter prises, the ownership of which la not re turned to the people. Five men, for In stance, having an enterprise coating $10,000, 000, take those million out of the stream In the form of a loan, securing It by a Hen on the enterprise. To the stream they give back the bonds representing the cost; to themselves they issue the stock represent ing the proprietorship. And thus all the possibility of the growth of successful en terprise goes, not to the many who fur nish tfia capital, nor in large part to the mani who auppllea the idea, but chiefly to the few whose advantageous position at the confluence of the stream enables them, to - the exclusion of all others, to lay hands lipor. the cargoes aa they come down. This, Judge Orosscup declares, la re sponsible largely "for every extortion in ..iha'wsy of prices, both those paid and those taken, that has been practiced," be cause It has bred the disposition and given to the go-as-you-please corporation unex ampled opportunities to maka paper for tunes actual by any device at hand. Tet the corporation la the only structure In sight Into which, to gather and exercise the creative energies of American industrial progress. Bhall It be remodeled from within? he asks, or torn down from with out, or allowed to remain as it is? The remedies are of two kind general public ownership or the bitting and reining of the corporation in the matter of consplr- , -acles tn control prices. Pablla Owaershla ( Utilities. As to publio ownership even of publio Utilities, Judge Orosscup saya tie la not sure thst aa long aa the clay hall ahall have franchisee to vote the "gray wolves" can be kept out. and it may become es sential. In the Interest of clean city gov ernment, if for no other reason, to give up the otherwise undoubted economic ad vantage of private operation under public control. But as to general public owner ship, the people of thla country still have It In their power so to reform and re construct the corporation policy of the country, and aa between the corporation thua reformed and even restricted public ownership the latter la to be oppoaed, and etrenuously opposed. "Government control." says Judge Oross cup, "never gets, and in the nature of things never can get. all there la. or the -"best there Is, tn human capability. The government may compete with private en terprise in getting capable men, but it' haa not thua far shown anything of the ca pacity of a private enterprise to assign the right man always to the right place. That kind of seeking out and watchful ness few government departments poasess. The men In charge of government depart ments may be Intelligent and well Inten- tloned, but thejr are in today and out to all this Is said on the assumption -that politics would hnve no part in government ownership and operations. When we stand before that side of the question efficient public ownership looks almost hopeless." Coatrol from Oatalde.t As for the other remedy control from outside the corporation, as it Is today, Judge Grnns.up points out that under the shadow of the' vaunted Sherman anti-trust act the greatest of the ao-called trusts have grown up. True, the admlnlatratlon of President Roosevelt has begun a num ber of prosecutions. But the Beef trust injunction, the railroad rebate injunction nd the Northern Securities decree contain so far their results. With these results," he says, "I am finding no fault. The railroads say that they are obeying the injunction, and thus far the law officers of the government have not with success disproved or even tried t disprove, that assertion. No prose cution for contempt under the Beef trust injunction has been Instituted." This expected cure from the outside, he argues, Is no cure at all. It may palliate, but It neither cradlcatee nor restores. There must be reconstruction Just aa laid down In hie plan. As to what may be expected then, the best answer Is to show what haa been done. Firet. Judge Orosscup says, corporate property is now successfully and safely owned by large numbers of people who have put their Individual resources Into their proprietorship. He cltea In thla con nection the case of a railroad running out of Chicago. He then cites another type of the good corporation, that which interests Ita wage earners aa owners In its profits. He tella of a corporation which helps Its employes to purchase Its shares at market value by lending them the money. Then he calls attention to a large manufacturing com pany, the stock of which is held In one j AMERICAN DIAMOND CUTTERS Industry a Comparatively Hew One in tie United State. FORMERLY ALL WERE CUT IN AMSTERDAM New Vara: aal Braoklya w Doing a Thrlvla Baalnea la Tnl Mae, All the Growth of Twelve Years. L'p to ten or twelve years ago all the diamonds that added to the charma of American women were cut In Antwerp or In Amsterdam, the oentera of the diamond industry, but though the American woman may not know It, a good many of her dia monds are now cut right here In Brook lyn and Manhattan, saya the Brooklyn Kagle, where some of the finest diamond cutting In the world is done. There are only nine or ten establishments In tins country, hut three of them do work that perhaps outranks that produced In any other country. One of the largest of those establishments, and the first one started In this country. Is that of a company which occupies the top atory of a building at the corner of Union and Nevlns streets and where are fiftjr men busied cutting and pol lahtng the brilliant gema to flash and sparkle on the fingers or in the laces of fortune's favored. It la a quaint, old-world looking place, away from the rush and bustle of down town and looking the last place where one would imagine luxuries are stored. . There Is a formality of barred doors, the only re minder of the presence of valuables, and once within the small enclosed front of fice, the manager of the establishment prob ably opens before your wonder-wide eyes little paper envelopes filled with glittering brilliants. They are stacked away like so many pills In a druggist's cabinet, thou sands of dollars worth of jewels, In every state, from the rough mineral, as It comes from the mine, to the many-faceted Jewel in Its perfection, ready to be mounted and wora. What Rooah atones Are I.Ike. In the rough the diamond looks like a big yellowish piece of glass, some as big around as a quarter, and with little sparkle to them. One paper envelope shows the first rough stone split up Into smaller bits, some of the large stones n.ake as many aa fifty stonea. The next stagu ahows the diamond Just as It is when it has had its first smoothing by the machines. This part of the work Is done In a small room Just off the main office, v?here five men sit at re volving machines, the wheel of which has embedded in it a diamond. To thla the haa applied his stone more frequently and which consequently ha developed ltitl ridge. It la here that he applies the sur face of his atone to give It the cut lie wishes, end then, when he haa carefully gauged It with hla eye and the aid of a microscope to tell whether the small fig ures are of Just the right proportion, he slips it to another part of the disk, where the surfsce Is plainer, to wear It to greater amoothness and perfec tion. The diamond worker must know his task well, or he ruins the stone. His eye must bn able to tell whether the lines of the tiny geometrical figures he cuts all agree, and lie must be able to tell exactly when to "did anything come from the store to day?" "Yls. mum." Katie answered, "an" Oi put ut tip where ut wud look folne." Tou put It up?" faltered "mum" ap prehensively. "Where?"' "Ol'll show ye, mum," said Katie, leading the way to the dining room. "Thlm mot toes Is litigant. " she continued, and then pointed proudly at her handiwoik. There, securely nailed above the dining room mantel, was a new fiber door mat bearing the hospitable greeting.

The third example Is that of a large man ufacturing company also. Any of Its em ployes who earns not more than $1,600 a year may have purchased for his account an amount of the common stock of the company equal to the amount of his annual wages, paying therefor not less than per cent a year down and thereafter 4 per cent a year out of hla wages. But to his credit on the purchase price also go the dividends, guaranteed to be not lees than 12 per cent upon the amount of wages ac tually earned by him. When the employe has been with the company for five years he may Increase his holdings 28 per cent and after ten years he may increase his holdings GO per cent and. la guaranteed IK per cent. And under thla plan nearly every employe la a stockholder In the corporation. An Approach to the Ideal. This. Judge Orosscup says, Is perhaps the nearest approach to the ultimate Ideal. Capital and labor are partners, each getting not only Ita fair share of the profits from year to year, but also its fair proportion of the permanent results of success and pros peritythe lasting property that grows and continues to grow out of success. tl 913.SO to St. Fill mil Mtaa ead Retara From Omaha, via Chicago Great Western Railway.

From thla simple machine the gems go Into a great room adjoining where dozens of machines . are arranged all along the wlndowa, leaving a large vacant apace in the center of the room, which la of no use in a trade so entirely dependent on good light for Its workers. Always I had had vlslona of the diamond cutter as a humped, wixened person, who sat squinting over his work, but either my idea was fantastic or modern Invention has changed all that. Certainly, the lot of cutters I found at work when the mannger of the establishment showed me Into the room on my visit the other day were neither humped nor wlsened, but a ro bust. Jolly looking crowd of foreigners, most of them hailing from Holland or from Antwerp, I learned. There were only two or three Americans In the lot, the manager told me, and in all, lie said, there are not more than 380 expert diamond cutters in this country. The men were singing as the machlnra whirred and each had his Joke, for the manager. -I should have come on Monday, the man at the first machine told me, because Monday was always bar gain day, when diamonds could be had for four ninety-eight. They were at work cut ting the diamond and polishing It. Each sat before a simple looking machine, hav ing a routing disk to which they held the diamond In what they called the dop, really a holder containing a hardened mix ture of lead and tin In which the diamond I embedded, with that part of the surface that Is to be polished exposed. How Diamonds Are Cnt. The dop Is held down to the disk, which revolves at the rate of twenty-five revolu tions a minute, and which ta spread with a compound of oil and diamond dust. The old adage, "diamond cut diamond," Is lit erally true In all the work of preparing the stone. The dust that files off In the first process of smoothing the rough stone Is 'held in a fine sieve and Is saved for polishing the diamond and for polishing other precious stones.

All that must lie left to the skill and judgment of the cutter. To know how to cut a diamond one must have practical geometry well at hand, for the Q. E. D. can only.be written beneath a perfectly evolved proposition. First, the diamond Is cut Into squares, and then the squares are divided Into tri angles, and so on, until the. final figure Is completed, .having in its finished form fifty-eight facets. The fifty-eight faret stone represents the perfection of diamond cutting, as various experiments to better It have proved. Not long ago experiments were attempted to produce what they culled the "twentieth century cut." hav ing slxty-elx facets, but the stone cut this way was not nearly so brilliant and beau tiful as the fifty-eight facet stone. Few atones Lost. The diamond cutters handle their ma terial as unconcernedly as If It were putty Instead of precious stonea they are work ing with, and yet the manager told me that In twelve years he has had his estab lishment In this country only six diamonds have been lost. If a stone drops on tho floor every man keep his place while the one that dropped It traces the stone to the place where It fell. One of the workers in the big room of the establishment Is kept busy embedding the gems In the dop or holder for the cut ter to . work on. He has his 1 mixture of lead and tin ready and puts a' dab of It Into the little cup-like holder, then dips In for a diamond, and fastens It in the soft metal mixture. Then he puts the whole thing under a flame and lets the metal be become still softer, so ' he can push the diamond down to expose Just the surface ready to be cut. One man gives the stone Its first cutting, another the second di viding and so on, until It Is completed, so that frequently a stone has to be replaced In the dop aa often aa forty tlmea before It Is ready to be put Into one of the man ager's envelopes to be offered to the jeweler. The under surface of the diamond, where It comes to a point. Is called the girdle of the stone and the small flat surface on top, about which the little figures center Is the table of the stone. The small rose dia monds made of the scraps of the big atones when they are broken up are only given to the men. to cut when there are no large stones on hand to be worked on. They are the piecework, regarded of lit tle Importance. The profit on them does not pay for the trouble of cutting them, the manager explained. The same cuts used In perfecting dia monds today have been In use for three or four houndred years. At first the stones were preserved tn their original form, but about the middle of the fifteenth century the art of polishing them on rotating disks was discovered. The big stones, before they are cut, often have a yellowish hue that -made them look to my uninitiated eyes like poor diamonds. That, the one in authority assured me. was because the larger the atone the more color It takea on. Frequently, he said, when there are a handful of diamonds together, a buyer will claim they are "off color," bot when he separates the stones he finds each clear and white. . America Beat Market, The Americans are tne best judges of diamonds in the world, much, much better Judges than the Europeans, the diamond deaW assured me. And of all the diamonds kno-n to exist, half of them are owned In the United Statea. In all -there are about $l,0Ou,0X),O0O worth In the world. The dealer advises the owner of diamonds to cling to his possessions, because the day will suroly come, he saya, when their price will be three times what It is now. All the diamonds Anr erlcans . wear are minted in other countries, Africa, chiefly; and the largest perrenttige of them are cut outnlde of the United Statea, yet Tan kee ingenuity , la responsible for most of the Improved machinery and patent devices for cutting and mining the stones. Five sevenths of the diamond . cutting In the world Is done In Amsterdam and In Ant werp, and It Is from there America Inv ports Its expert diamond cutters, whose wages are much higher here than in the old countries, There have been stores of interesting legends clustering shout the diamond which. If not the most eostly of all pre clous stones, seems to have had always a stronr fascination than any other. A few hundred years ago, it was thought that the diamond, which resisted both fire and Iron, could be destroyed by the blood of a goat, and people believed, too, that if a diamond were macerated In fresh blood, It Could not be destroyed when struck on an anvil. In the old days peo ple thought the diamond could drive away sadness. Of course, we know better than all that. We know that Instead of driving away aadnesa, diamonds often create sort of sadneHS, especially diamonds owned by somebody else. We no longer have any picturesque beliefs to lend Interest to the possession of 'diamonds, but their fasclua tlon has diminished no less with the cen turles.
