is .the only workable, industrial - and
economic law . in the ; Universe today,
accordingto Arthur Nash, former min
ister 'and president of ;the A. Nash
Clothmg Manufairing Company, of
this city who has anjected the Golden
Rule into the conduct of ' his business
Recently' the .500 employees of' thel
company, actuatea ny xne .spirit 01 tne
Golden' Rule, agreed, to. surrender their
jobs for a month; Either Januarys or
! February, so that unemployed work-
n in the clothing industry could be
gMen employment. In June 1916 i the
company was xncorporatea witn a capi-r
tal -tock of $60,000 and Mr. Nash as
the prime moyer and. principal investor
was elected, president. " N
- In July 1919 the company moved
into more commodious quarters on? the

submitted h profit sharing plan;.6 the
employees. Their confidence in Nash
was such that' the employees refused
to acceptUhe plan but said . they pre
ferred to , ha ve , their ' pay each week
land were willing to leave , it to : the
management to figure-jout: what they
wuiu u
could pay in weekly wage. Wages were
thereupon increksed from time to time.
At the end of 1919 the- company found
that despite the wage increases and
the enormous expense of. moving and
equipping the new.-plant it had made
a net profit of $42,000 on and invest
men tof $60,000. . '"
- The actual condition at that time
was t that the company was paying
higher wages, selling its product for
less money and" earning a-darger pro
fit than any ofJts associates in bus-,
inessX- ; :
Mr Nash i says that these figures
were submitted to Hbe employees and
that he felt chargriried because it was
his belief, that' an. unjustifiiable pro
fit "was- madebff the; labor of others.
At the "tneeting . Mr. -"Nash said that
wages would bfe increasecj. from 10 to
k20 percent. .. Later the profit " sharing
1 . -. ... v. " . .. - v .
basis 01 arriving at adjust wage, as
the only solution of the problem, was
adopted. - .
By- the titan 'presented to them -. the
profits were to be -divided among the
help on the ba sis oT. salaries earned,
twice a year. , -' - ' v V; ff
.: The employes, who earned - more
f,than $60 a week, petitioned the com
pany, to distribute the workers' share
o the profits pri the "basis .of time
worked ' instead of on the basis of
wages; drawn. v.The petftion .stated that
this wouldf '' giyei. those earning the
smaller wage an equal dividend with
those making larger sums. This meant
that the cutters and the. pressers -earning
from $75 to $90 a week petitioned
that the poorest paid help receive the
same dividend that they did.., :.
