In spite of his schemes for profit sharing Lord Leverhulme was not a believer in joint com- nittees of masters and workers. "There must." be said "be a captain in everything." He hated the word "hind," however, and une of his most recent utterances was that "the word does more lamuge to. the relationships ketween muster and man than any question of higher or lower wages. ""Safety First" in business is to recognise no distinction between the highest and the lowest so long
