Wage system to end says United States labor official
United States Commissioner of Labor Carroll D. Wright told the Society of Ethical Culture in Philadelphia that a future labor system will replace wages with profit sharing and cooperation. He argued the present wage system is unfair, relies on generous employers, and ignores worker independence, predicting a transition to a system financed by employers, employees, and government in equal shares with broader worker leverage. In an unrelated note, a gasoline explosion at a Moultrie steam laundry injured several workers, who were saved by a barrel of water.
