Officials of the traction company say they will not submit the demands to arbitration unless the board of arbitration also has ,power to fix car fares.

The mctormesv and conductors arc now getting a wage of from 41 to tr. 4.1 cents an hour. They arc de ?manUing a "v\Jagc of ,r>0 to (>0 cents an hour.

They took a most ac tive part in each of the loan cam pa inns. They subscribed generously f"?r themselves, made loans to their cus tomers in order that they might buy bonds, and sold bonds on installments to accommodate those having small savings, in other words, the banks did everything possible to promote the sale and distribution of government i securities. The banker can render an equally j great service in reconstruction by co- i operating with the government in its movement, to teach the people of rhe United States the lessons of sound fi- | nance and wise investment. In pro moting this cause the banker will aid his institution and the financial sit uation in general at the same time. j Xow that the war is over the peo ple should be impressed with the wis- ! dom of holding their government se curities and also of purchasing more, from time to tima. The more gener- j ally the people of the United States absorb government securities ~-tha greater will be the ability of the com mercial banks to devote practically j all of their resources to furnishing i adequate credit to the commerce end i industry of the country. Providing short-time credit to com- ! merce and industry is their normal j peace-time function. The sale and ; movement of farm crops, mannfac- j Hired products and other commodities, i as well as the continuous and efficient j employment of labor, in fact, the wnnls I industrial process will be promoted by permitting the commercial banks to devote all their resources to this function. The people of the United St.ite3 r.hould. therefore, be encouraged to pay.off their installments and borrow ings on bonfi collateral as rapidly as pc.ssihle. and also to purchase aidi tiona! government securities as is sued from time to lime or in the mar ket. If this is done the people of this country will be benefitted in a two fold way. They will free material arid labor for the production of commodi ties which are now so desperately needed the world over. At the same time they will be strengthening them selves financially.
