He believed this to be the largest example of profit- sharing in any country. Wages must be the first charge on industry. A standard wage of twenty per cent. above pre-war wages would be fixed and, after wage and other costs had been satisfied the owners would receive £17 for every £100 paid in wages, and, if there were further proceeds, they would be divided, the workman to receive 83 per cent and the owner seventeen per cent. That settlement would las: until September 30, 1924 and he believed it would result in anexampled harmony in the coal industry.

Mr. Chamberlain said that the vote of ten millions would be submitted on July 1st.
