GENERAL SUMMARY 15 4 cases; special circumstances, 4 cases. It will be seen that, while in 92 out of these 155 cases the discontinuance of Profit-sharing appears to have been clue to various circumstances none of which can well be attributed to the operation of this system, the number of cases in which Profit-sharing was abandoned on the ground that the system had failed in producing the results hoped for from it is 03, or about two-fifths of the whole. A summary of the causes of cessation of profit-sharing schemes by the trades in which the schemes were adopted is given on p. 114 in Appendix 13. Trades in which Profit-sharing Schemes have been adopted. With regard to the comparatively large number of schemes which have been started since 1907, it may be pointed out that up to and including that year only four gas .companies had adopted profit-sharing methods, and that a considerable propor tion (nearly one-half) of the number of schemes started since 1907 is due to the extension of profit-sharing methods among gas companies which began in 1908. An account of the system of profit-sharing practised by these companies is given on pp. 54-64. The following Table* gives particulars of the trades in which profit-sharing schemes have been adopted: - Nature of Business. Total Number Number of Schemes existing at 1st August, 1912. of Schemes.
