The Workers are to be paid by stock and wages
Part of the profits if the industry goes to the State.
Workers are paid according to their achievements in the industry
The Workers and owners are to come to an agreement on how the business is to be ran

No one may start up a profession without this title
The Guild can regulate the number of acolytes that each guildsman can take on
