ABSTRACT

The subject of "Co-Partnership or Profit-Sharing" is one that has always had the greatest interest for myself. Prosperity-Sharing is very good, but does not go far enough. The workman has not learned that lesson because he has never had a chance of learning it; he has never been able to have such a connection with the business as would bring that lesson home to him, and therefore it is by admission to Co-Partnership that he will learn it, and being in Co-Partnership he will see that it is only out of the fund created in the business itself that any improvement or advancement is to be made in the position of Labour. Certainly, Co-Partnership, if not viewed in this light, if it has not the effect of increasing products in value and quantity, cannot result in increasing the wages, and cannot lead to any betterment to the workers.
