THE GOLDEN RULE
l CINCINNATI, Ohio. Jo*.. &— The
Golds* Sols is the divine law govern
ing human relationships, accepted by
nil religions and proclaimed by all pro
phets and teachers of every creed, and
is tbs only workable, industrial and
economic law in die Universe today,
according to Arthur Nash, former
minister and president of the A. Nash
Clothing Manufacturing company, of
this city who has injected the Golden
Rule into the conduct of his business,
t Recently the 500 employees of the
company, actuated by the spirit of the
Golden Rule, agreed to surrender their
jobs for a month, either January or
'f February, so that unemployed work
men in the clothing industry could be
given employment. In June 1916 the
company was incorparated with a
capital stock of $60,000 and Mr. Nash
as 1he prime mover and principal in
vestor was elected president.
la July 1919 the company moved
Into more commodious quarters on the
% strength of a loan of $50,000 from a
hank. Mr. Nash called the employees
together sod told them of the loan
which he said waa negotiated on the
basis of his confidence in them. With
the (loldii Rule proclaimed as the
governing law of the business, Mr.
Nad ant matted a profit sharing pita
*
to the employ fro. Their confidence in
ftksh was inch that the employees re
fused to accept the plan but said they
. preferred to have their money each
week and were willing to leave it to
thw .management to figure out what
they coald pay in weekly wage. Wages
were thereupon increased from time to
<•* time. At the end of 1919 the company
found that despite the wage increases
and the enormous expense of moving
.and dflifeping the new plant it had
made a not profit of $42,000 on an in
vestment of $00,000.
The actual condition at that time
was that the company was paying
higher wages, selling its product for
>s money and wwrfnf a larger pro
fit the* any of its associates in busi
ness.
Mr. Nash says that these figures
Were submitted to the employees and
Met he frit chargrinod besiuwe it was
^ hjs belief that an unjustifiable profit
was made off the labor of others. At
✓the meeting Mr. Nash said that wages
would be iucreesed from 10 to 20 per
cent Leber the profit sharing basis of
arriving at a Just wage, as the only
eolation of the problem, was adopted.
By the plan palpated to them the
profits were to he divided among the
help on the basis of salaries earned,

The long interdict on the use of the
mineral fuels of Alaska has greatly
retarded all forms of mining in the
Territory. It not only enhanced the
cost of all mining by prohibiting the
use of local fuels, but it made the in
dustry lose tiie advantage of the im
provement in industrial conditions that
would certainly have followed the de
„ • ' ; /
velopment of coal and oiL
The situation was relieved somewhat
by the coal-land leasing act of 1913,
but unfortunately this relief came at
about the time when unstable indust
rial conditions were brought about by
the war and by the readjustments that
followed peace. In 1920 further help
was given by the passage of an oil
land leasing act, but it has been paas
, A too recently to affect the Alaska

AMERICANS DISCOURAGED
BERLIN, Jan., 5— American busi
ness scouts who have been scouring
Germany in the last months in search
oi contracts have virtually abandoned
the field to the field to the and
French and gone home, accoriffcg to
infoimation reaching the Aip^rican
Association of Qiagftftrce and Trade
here. While exporjf 'and imports be
tween the United States and Germany
'gradually ';To laemm the
Americans say the majority of the big
manufacturing and buying firms of
Germany already have signed long
time contracts with the British and
French, who sent armies of represents
tives into the country as soon aS the
I armistice-was signed*.
The Germans who have not contract*
! ed with the British and French, but
{ have held back-in the belief it would
be to their advantage to tie up with
the Americans, arebecomingdiscourag
ed and American business men here
i , » < \
say unless there is soon a resumption
I of official relations between the two
countries, and probably a stabilisation
of exchange, it must be many months
after a treaty, is' signed' before the
Americans will again have their pro*
J portionate pre-war share of Germai^
trade.
The German government is keenlj
\ v
alive to the situation and even has ta*
4 k
ken a hand, unofficially, in recent
transactions by which it was believed
good business relations between the
two countries would be fostered. When
the National Cash Register company
recently sought permission of the po
Mtical economic sub-committee of the
Imperial Economic Council to import
tools and patterns for a factory in
Germany, the Grman Foreign Office
took an active interest and it is said
even directed the committee to make
a favorable report although some of
Germany's most powerful financial in
1 fluences were objecting.
Other American concerns have ap
plied for permission to import machin
ery and manufactured articles but the
Economic Council haa thus far with*
held the permission on the ground the
articles could be produced in Germany.
The German government's princi
pal objection to Importation! at this
time is based upon the low exchange
value of the marie. Until the mailt is
* * .
stabilised; the Groans believe trade
should be encouraged on the- basis of
exchange of goods, dr that only sneh
importations should be permitted as
will encourage Gtrman production and
form a market for German labor.

outholding the government for the aid
of dishonest officials and the ‘‘veri

marks worth of tobacco,, cigars, cigar

months.”
laying squadrons of customs offic

at one point, a report says, and smug
