PARIS, France. Another step to
ward making the laborer a business
partner, participating In both the
profits and management of enter
prises In which he Is employed, is be
ing taken In France. The senate has
adopted the principle of a bill amend
ing corporation laws so as to permit
the allotment of shares to workmen
collectively in any establishment to be
held, for all employes of one years
standing or more, for the distribution
of the dividends among them.
In case of dissolution the capital
stock will be shared between all the
shareholders, those holding labor
shares aa well as capital shares. Wage
earners under thi3 measure also may
j;artlcipate in the management of the
corporation.
The law provides exemptions in
favor of corporations formed under
this law which it is hoped may help
solve the problem of conflicts between
capital and labor and reduce the num
ber of strikes which.-- Increased in
France from 2C1 in 1S92 to 1073 in
J913.
TI1J3 law, it is held, will make min
ink shares less risky. Capital now
hesitates at investment in these
stocks because -of the frequency of
strikes. The bringing of capital and
labor i&to closer cooperation in this
way has been one of Premier Trianid's
favorite p rejects.
The law under Ciscvist Ion, of course,
cannot make it obligatory upon all
corporations to accept the participa
tion cf their, employes; It only en
courages It by offering advantages
that oiher corporttions do not enjoy.

the mice entering-through the hole.
At the opportune moment we pull a
