Employes Partners For the last ten years the Goodyear Tire and Rubber company has followed a policy of making "young partners'' of such of its employes aa have shown special ability and rendered highly effi cient service, by making them common stockholders In the company. Goodyear haa 236 of these young partners at tha present time branch managers, depart ment hea.ds, factory foremen and other who' have distinguished themselves by special service. Tha result of this policy hag been so satisfactory that the company now pro poses to extend It.' Th organisation haa grown mightily in the last few years, just aa the business has grown, and more' candidate 'for "young partner ship" are under consideration. To that end a stockholders' meeting will be held June 1 to authorise an In crease tn the company'a common atock, aa all the present authorised common is outstanding and none la available for th proposed distribution. In the past Goodyear haa disposed of its atock to employee on the basis of five-year contracts, simply setting th stock guide In the beneficiary's name and permitting dividends, cash and stock, to accumulate to the end of the period, when settlement is made. Tha employe really purchases the stock at par, though most of the paymenta automatically take cars of themselves. .
