Home employers express dis appointment that the etforts of thelr companies were not appreciated by the men, that they seemed to prefer thelr total earnings in fixed wages, with no variable element, that they were sus pielois of the employers’ motives, that they (nsisted upon joining unlons and preventing demands in spite of the com- efforts to give them an extra yunre of the business, that, when stock Wwas sold Lo employes upon favorable termu they would dispose of It at a profit when ita vaiue rose, and so get the habit of watehing the stock market, that when the profit distribution was large the em- ployes Jearned to expect A similar ‘bonanza’ every year and were disgruntied if they did not get It, to say nothing of their discontent if conditions forbade any extra payment at all; and that all pchemes of this sort are necessarily com- plicated and hard to understand, so that the workers, especially of the less in- telligent grades, are not eastly convineed 1hat the aystem really benefits them and i» not merely a device to withhold & part of what they might otherwise demand und et Depenid on the Employer. “That difficulty of comprehens on is reak and not Imaginary and must be acknowl- cdged by investigators of the great num ber of schemes attempted, hardly any two being precisely alike, and many of them apparently based upon no aocepted cconomic theory, hut embodying ideas peculiar to the individual employer Among the points raised against the profit-sharing among the trades unions the chief ts, of cou that the interests of labor as u whole would be imperilled by any weakening or destruction of strong organization (o protect wage s'andards which, under profit-sharing, would pasa mder the control of :the em employer wye by panes wholly ployers Another objection by orgmnized labor. which it must be acknowledged s borne out by the statistios of many of these experiments, 15 that profit-sharing chiefly affects only the superintendents, fofe men and higher grades of employes and doss not reach the rank and file, Either the profit payments are oo moment to the low t in claimed small to be of an patd au workers, or, where it la & stock cription plan, the mass of the work 2o not earn enough to buy any stook even on instaliments Oegnnised Lab Ntand Union repressntatives also point demand aking {or profit-sharing. either in the organized ed fields, and that the things thist labor itaelf is inorganis real and vital are not {hose which employera proy bt whivh cmanate frem the workingmen them Awot reusnt oriticlem 18 Lhal mar ket wages ara nat paid where profit aving is applied, se that wages aid | fits togsthar 4o not excesd, and often ol the preveliing . \oalyeis he sows RATES 8 DRImE UL 6 mme cAdes pepott aime painte g - .

Then you have the equivalent of a ood, plain tread tire still to wear out— f_g_x: your added mileage. That is why ‘Chain’ Treads give the low mileage cost for which they are famous. Besides—‘Chain’ Treads are the most efficient, moderate-priced anti-skids in the world.
