INDUSTRIAL : ASSOCIATIONS OF WORKERS. 83 24548 F 2 profits in favour of their employees, either as bonus on wages or as contributions to Provident Funds, or both; of these 19 both paid bonus on wages and allotted sums to Provident Funds, 19 paid bonus on wages only, and two credited the whole of the share in profits allotted to employees to Provident Funds. The average addition which the bonus made to the wages of participants was, in 1910, 4'4 per cent. Share of Employees in Membership, Capital, and Control. The extent to which the employees share in the membership, •capital and control of the Workers’ Productive Societies will be seen from the four Tables printed below : — Productive Associations other Individuals, 1899-1910. of Workers—Share of Employees, and Societies, in the Membership, [Compiled from Returns made to the Laboivr Department.] Year.

The voting strength of the employees is, however, greater than would appear from these figures, because proxy voting is very seldom allowed by the rules of these Associations, and employees are, of course, more likely to be on the spot than the “ other individuals.”
