HOPKINS (N. EB, A. Staff Correspondent) “I am an ‘outlaw financter’.” says Rudolph Spreckels of Ban Francisco, millionaire banker. “L think buatneas is @ matter of human beings.” Animated by this idea, Spreckels has lately installed, in the twe banks | under his control, a new sort of| profitsharing plan which rewards| the “wheel horses” of his accounting | staff. | Ryerybody knows the “wheel horse.” He is the man who does the werk and misses out on the money. He plods along at desk, or bench, or machine, year in and year | out—plods until he gets gray-haired and bent, slow and old. He isn't) flashy—he has nothing but his faith- fulness and his capscity for drudg. ery. All the wheel horse does te— work. “America’s business facturing worlds,” says Spreckels, “are crammed full of men of this |type. Their name is lecion—there fore their salaries are low “But “God knows what the bank, or | the office, or the store, or the fac |tory, would do without them! It/ }is these slow-going plodders that} | drag the peak-loads of industry.” Rewards Loyalty Profit-sharing plana, Spreckels ex plains, have always been unjust to| | these faithful workers, being #0 | framed that the low-salaried man, no matter what his term of service, gets the sma@fi slice of the mi "Bo T set out to de @ plan that would take length of service into account and reward loyalty | as well as brilliancy,” Spreckels nar. rates. and manu “Though in force only since the beginning of the year, I can state | emphatically, that Tt has worked | small mvolution in our banks.
