ital and Labor to be Part

ners in Problems of Future,

Says Magnate. NEW YORK. Sept 12. Profit-shar

ing on a frank and fair basis -was de- j clared to be the only solution of the present Industrial unrest, in a speech delivered at the annual meeting of the National Civic Federation here Thursday, by George W. Perkins. Mr. Perkins Bald he was convinced that labor was entirely willing that capital should have Its "fair reward and proper protection" but that there were too many Instances In which capital had demanded "Improper protection and had taken exorbitant reward." At the same time Mr. Perkins denounced the bonus systems as doing more harm than good and as stirring up trouble rather than alleviating it. The giving of bonuses, he claimed caused employes to feel that the employers were making vast sums of money out of which a sop was thrown to them to bribe them into feeling kindly disposed or to ward off a demand for a general increase In wages. As an alternative, Mr. Perkins proposed a definite detailed scheme of profit-sharing which he said had been adopted by some companies with which he was connected, and had proved most successful. He described the plan as follows: Fair Returns. "First: Every business has, first of all, to earn operating expenses, depreciation, and fair returns on honest capitalization. "Second: I believe that every business should consider that the compensation paid employes is for the purpose of earning a sum of money sufficient to pay the above-mentioned items. "Third I believe that any profits over and above such sum should, on come percentage basis, .be divided between the capital used in the business and the employes engaged in the business. "Fourth: I believe that in neither case should these profits be immediately withdrawn from the business; that they Bhould be left in the business for a reasonable length of time, to protect and increase its financial strength and safety; that, In the case of capital, Its share of these profits should be carried to surplus; that, in the case of employes, these profits should be distributed to them in some form of security representing an Interest in the business, and that each employe should be required to hold euch security for a reasonable length of time, say three to five years. "Fifth: I believe that the employes share of these profits should be allotted to them as nearly as possible on the basis of the compensation they receive. Up to date, this has proved to be the best method."

(San Francisco Bulletin) Notice The singing of songs publicly in which persons in the audience are ridiculed or made to feel embarrassed is hereby prohibited in Delhi. Offenders will

be arrested and prosecuted. New York papers please copy. Cyru3 Perkins Walker, Mayor. The foregoing notice appeared in the Delhi (Cal.) Bazoo the other day and occasioned much comment. The mayor caused its publication aa a result of an incident that took place at Hugus Hall not long ago. It was during a presentation of a musical comedy called "Ba-Ba Bumble-Bee." Mayor Walker attended and occupied a seat in the third row with Mrs. Walker. Toward the end of the first act a young woman programmed as Mile. Tootsie McGinnis came out on the stage and sang a song entitled "He's My Daddy and I'm His Sweet Patootie." She sang it straight at the mayor and at one point injected her victim's name. The lines ran something like this: He's my Daddy and I'm His Sweet Patootie. Mayor Walker is sure some cutey. When Mile. McGinnis finished the

verse she leaned over the footlights and held her hands out imploringly at the mayor. At that point a man's voice coming from the rear of the hall said: "You got some sweet patootie, mayor!" Mayor Walker, already deeply embarrassed, became infuriated. He

arose and facing the rear or trie hail, asked : Who Said It? "Who said that?" There was no response. The show came to a dead stop. "I want it definitely understood that I do not know this singer and, furthermore, that she is showing extremely bad taste to call me Patootie, or whatever it was." The manager of the show appeared on the stage and apologized to the mayor. I'm sorry Mile. McGinnis sang to you sir," he said, "but she tells me she knew you in New York, having met you at a party given by Jefferson Nutt. a newspaper man." "Sly old dog!" said the voice. "Is Constable Pelee Brown in the aydience?" asked the mayor, infuriated. "Right here!" replied Brown. "Arrest that man!" The man proved to be Skin Peebles, an anti-Walker Democrat. The officer leaped at him and a fight followed, in which Constable Brown was knocked down four times, but he subdued his man by slipping him two dollars to leave the hall. The mayor and Mrs.

Walker then left and the performance was finished. The incident has caused the mayor to suspect a plot to discredit him in his race for re-election, but the antiWalker Democrats say that the chief

executive really knew Mile. McGinnis in New York and they declare he never went near the Sunday school convention. The whole town Is talking. There is much indignation.

TALE OF OIL IS

MORE MARVELOUS THAN FAIRY STORY

(Kansas City Star.) Mop marvelous than anything in the Arabian Nights entertainment, more amazing than the discovery of gold in California or Alaska, or of diamonds in Africa, is the history of petroleum in the United States during the last ten years. A book has just been published entitled "Oil" by Reid Sayers McBeth, which contains the salient features of this amazing history. In it I note the following facts: The first oil -ell in America was drilled in 1859, only sixty years ago. The tremendous expansion of the oil business has taken place within the last ten years. The use of oil as a source of power is due to the internal combustion en

gine, which is the heart of the auto- j mobile, the airplane, the farm tractor. the motor boat, the submarine, and I other varieties of the gas engine. : Petroleum has built the world's ! greatest individual fortune that of John D. Rockefeller. j It has made hundreds of other for-:

tunes, and has probably made more

people rich over night than any other one thing. j Petroleum has probably been th greatest wealth producer in the world !

during the last decade.
