Excerpt from A Dividend to Labor: A Study of Employers Welfare Institutions
In Part III under the heading A Direct Divi dend to Labor, I have supplemented my treatise on profit sharing (which it has not seemed feasible to revise) with such later information as the lapse of ten years renders desirable. With the appendixes Nos. II. And III., this part may serve to set forth the later history of the system.
To the many business firms and corporations at home and abroad with whom I have corresponded, or whose establishments I have visited, while preparing this work, my sincere and hearty thanks are due for their unwearied courtesy. As I write these closing lines, I am also mindful of two great publicists, too soon departed, to whom I owe much of light and leading, and whose labors in the cause of industrial peace this volume would fain help to continue in some degree - Francis A. Walker of Boston, and Charles Robert of Paris.
Whether the dividend to labor which the economist approves and the employer establishes be direct or indirect, I trust that this book may serve to increase that deeper consciousness of kind, that more truly human sympathy between employers and employed.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents an illuminating account of the origins and development of indirect dividend payment to employees, a practice that flourished before the advent of profit sharing. By exploring welfare institutions established by generous employers, the author examines how these practices emerged as an ethical response to the negative social and economic effects of industrialization. The book emphasizes the significance of recognizing the moral dimension of labor relations, highlighting the role of both employer and employee in fostering a harmonious and productive work environment. By presenting numerous historical examples, the author argues that profit sharing is a viable and effective method for enhancing labor-management relations, contributing to both individual and collective well-being.
