An effort made in the House to-day
by sir. Kothenberger, Berks, to end
the tours made biennially by the ap

another llarrlsburg
er )s proml-
Jlll. M'CI T BBIN nent part in the
meeting.
Mr. McCubbln spoke against the in
troduction of a minimum wage and
presented plans Intended to secure
greater efficiency in department stores.
"\l am going to deal with profit
sharing," said Mr. McCubbln, "from
the viewpoint of employe and also the
employer. Theorists are apt to lose
sight of the latter, as if ail that capital
has to do is to distribute golden eggs
from an inexhaustible basket.
'•Your chairman, in the course of
his remarks one year ago, urged the
desirability, if not the necessity, of
voluntarily giving, before sentiment or
law compels, the minimum wage. Pub
lic sentiment appears to favor such a
measure and our business is primarily
one which calls for an intelligent an
ticipation of the public's requirements.
"in my opinion, the introduction of
a minimum wage will not In itself be
of assistance, or increase the selling
power of our employes, but will, in
stead. tend to add to the already over
burdened expense of conducting busi
ness.
Bowman's Solution
"The profit-sharing plan was started
toward lhe end of September, 1913, at
the time when business was picking
up. so that the employes did not have
to make up the deficits which they
would undoubtedly have Incurred had
the plan been adopted earlier. This
was done intentionally so that we
could have the sales force enthusiastic
from the beginning.
"Last Fall, from information al
ready in our possession, we were en
abled to more correctly determine the
actual and desired cost. Kach depart
ment and each salesperson was re
quired to sell a determined amount,
and the monthly cost for the year was
fixed. This method worked to better
advantage from all points of view.
11l the dull months SBOO might be re
quired in sales, and ill the busy season
SI,OOO, $l,r«00 or SL',SOO asked for. On
any increase over the stipulated
amount, whether it be SSO in the dull
times or SSOO in the busy season, we
paid a bonus of from 1 to 4 per cent.
"I should mention that, these pay
ments are made monthly iind sepa
rately from our usual payroll. This
method distributes the pay on a more
equal basis and meets the desires of
our employes more fully.
Semiannual Sharing
"We now come to the sharing of
profits semiannually. To determine
the actual net prolit of the business,
the trading or operating account Is
charged with interest on the capital
invested. This is only right, since
the owners of the business could ob
tain this interest on their capital by
investment and reside, If they chose,
in X.os Angeles. 1 do not feel that
employes have a right to share in
profits until this interest charge has
been earned.
"Expenses are distributed over tl)e
departments, discounts are credited,
and the net profit for each department
ascertained.
"The buyers are then given a per
centage of their net profits. This per
centage being based on the capital in
vested in their department, or; in
other words, tile 'turnover.'
"In addition to the share of profits
distributed under our present plan we
aim eventually to extend and divide
half yearly among the department em
ployes an additional share of the net
profits.
"In every way our profit-sharing
plan aims to lie thoroughly practical.
a.s we call upon our employes to ccni
tribute toward these profits before
they can expect to share in them.
Develop Selling Ability
"We feel very much gratified with
the progress already made and the
manner in which our employes have
joined with us in making the plan a
success encourages us to extend it still
further. The higher grade selling
ability they have developed has en

Vice-President W. W. Atterbury,
of the P. R. R., Talks to
Commercial Men
Railroad activities with necessary
restriction*, and stronger co-operation
In correcting abuses, were urged last I
night by Vice-president W. W. Atter
bury of the Pennsylvania railroad.
This official who Is in charge of the
operation of the Pennsylvania rail
road. last night in Philadelphia, ad
dressed the combined commercial or
ganizations. Representatives of the
Chamber of Commerce, Bourse, Board
of Trade, Merchants' and Manufac
turers' Association and Manufactur
ers' Club. Vice-President Atterbury
said In part:
"The American railroad Is the great
est transportation achievement of the
world, because It grew up in an age
when enterprise, initiative and ener
getic business ability had unrestricted
opportunity for development. Unlike
the railroads of Great Britain and
other European countries, they pre
ceded population and took the risks of
pioneers In developing the country and
settling it.
"I am not one who believes that
railroad activities should now be un
restricted. I believe in regulation.
Railroads have benellted In ways,
many of them little realize frotn regu
lation. Regulation is here to stay,
and it is the duty of the railroad offi
cer to co-operate in making that regu
lation a continued benefit not only to
the country, but <o the community.
Regulation Corrects Abuses
"Regulation has largely confined it
self to' correcting abuses. The evils
were obvious, but we have allowed
ourselves to think of them so much
that we have forgotten about, the
transcendent merits of the institution
ns a whole. We have been devoting
so much attention to killing the weeds
in our transportation garden that we
have neglected the very important
duty of cultivating and strengthening
the growth of the healthy and useful
plants.
"The great transportation machine
of the country is sound. It needs con
tinued regulation, but the regulation
must be competent and sympathetic.
The most pronounced weakness of our
present regulation is that so much
of it is incompetent. Laws are lightly
passed by legislatures without any real
knowledge of fhat is involved. Action
is taken by commissions who can have
no full conception of the delicate
mechanism they are handling, nor of
how the public interests may he final
ly affected by their lack of experience
and training.
"No step, in my Judgment, could be
taken by the businessmen of the
country which would be more fruitful
of practical benefit to the business life
of this nation than practical action to
insure that when a man is appointed
|by either the Federal government or a
State, to regulate our railroads, he
shall be (iiialilied by experience and
training to consider and pass uopn,
constructively and helpfully, the many
important questions which will come
before him."
