They know profits are being made out of them, and don’t want the disagreeable ‘fact rubbed in with partnership salve. Second, management often uses the lemploye stock ownership plan in jorder to entrench its own position. The more widely the stock is held, the easier a small group with 10 to |80 per cent of the shares can con- |trol the whole company. Cowdrick sums up: “All things |considered, employe stock ownership, if it exerts any influence upon con- \trol of industry at all, operates to \make it even easier for an existing management to maintain itself— already no difficult task, so long as the business is reasonably successful, TELEGRAPHERS WIN INCREASE ST.

But. the British seem willing to sacrice a fevy million dollars for | the privilege of controlling the oil. | - As a matter of fact it appears that the decision to run the pipe line though ritish territory was prima- rily aimed at the American oil in- terests and not at the French. The official theory of the “British- American world trust,” given by the | Matin writer, is believed to be en- tirely inaccurate, since these inter- |ests are at odds on all world’s mar- | kets.
