[Letter] June 27,[1887] [to F.H. Giddings]

June 27, [1887], n. p.

Dear Mr. Giddings,
         I send full plan of
my proposed article, according
to the briefer plan suggested
some time ago. Please keep it
till I see you in Springfield, and
either then or in the meanwhile
tell me whether I have included
too much territory, and left not
enough for you. We must keep
the field, as in the former
discussion, in somewhat even
divisions. I mean to make only a
brief reference to arbitration and
now to profit-sharing. My idea is
to discuss contract wages and profits
under modem conditions (consolidations)
with no reference to the enlargements
of product that come about by taking
workmen's returns
partly from profits. I could easily leave
a part of what is outlined to
you, and moreover it would seem
to harmonize with our former plan
if what we said about modem
conditions emphasizing invention
and organization were said to you.
I only thought of putting a reference
to it in my part, on account of
the bearing of the principle on
F. A. Walker's theory. I would like to
simply mention the relation of the fact
to Walker's theory, and refer the
discussion of the principle to you.
This would leave wholly to you the
field covered by the principle of
enlarged productiveness as a means of
enlarged individual returns. My part
would be the discussion of the relations
obtaining bet. wage earners and employers
while they are in the attitude of dividing
something antecedently determined. Please
criticize with perfect freedom.

          Yours Very Truly,
                J. B. Clark
