Let me point out, however, to the ad- voeates of profit-sharing that ample | opportunity already exists for worki men to become part owners inalmost any department of industrialism, without changing present relations. Th railway corporations, in ull e: 18 W as the great manufacturing companics generally, are stock coneerns, with shares of fifty or a hundred dol ch, which are bought and sold daily in the market. Not an employe of any of these but can buy any number of shares, ind thus pa ticipate in the dividends and in the man- agement.

When one, thercfore, denounces great corporationss for unfuir treatment of their men, hs is not denouncing the act of some monste capitalist, but that of hundreds and | thousands of small holders, scarcely ono of whom would be a party to untair or illiberal treatment of the “workingman; the majority of them, indeed, would be found on his side, and, as we have seen, muny of the owners themselyves would be workingmen.

In these prisons the contagion of moral and physical vice spreads rapidly. When Fr.
