Alfred Dolge, 1892:

"There is no doubt in my mind that manufacturers will eventually make all their employees partners in the business, as there is undoubtably (sic) something wrong at present in the relation of capital to labor. In many instances capitalists enrich themselves immeasurably at the expense of labor. It would certainly be welcomed by the majority of the American people if a plan could be derived, just for both sides, whereby labor will get its rightful proportion of the earnings of the business."

It is likely that this attitude won him no friends amongst the bankers.
