Excerpt from The Temptations of Employes Who Handle Money: What Can the Employer Do to Protect Himself and Them?Some time ago Mr. John H. Patterson, President of the National Cash Register Company, said to me: You make a study Of temptation, Of the way employes who are entrusted with money succumb, of the extent and laws of embezzlement. What more than wages does the employer owe to his workmen, when he gives them his money to handle Perhaps you may find something worth printing. Whether it be worth printing or not, the result Of the study I made is found in the following pages.Perhaps the little given may awaken the interest of others in a subject which concerns every employer, every man who is himself employed, and those who deal with moral causes that affect the welfare of the community generally.There was a time which men who are hardly Old can remember, when business was simple, credit little extended, and the workman lived under his master's eye. Now business is more complicated, employers are fewer, and more men, women, and boys have money of others in their hands. How many do you know, who are working for others? How many who only work for themselves, and with their own funds? Certain it is that the per cent. Of embezzlements and the losses which ensue astonish one who sees the reported data. In such cases as are given publicity, the press reports are the best statistics we have, yet slight examination makes us certain that the larger number are never made public at all. Whether, in respect to embezzlement, any part Of the country is worse than another, the exhibit we print will show. It does show that the per cent. Of losses last year was greatest in California and least in Wisconsin. Why?About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
