Better Than Government Bonds.

The United Banking and Building Com.
pany. s2l Main street. are Offering TO the in
yesting public a limited number of shares Of
it, interest bearing paid-up stock at $50 per
share. the par value of which Is sl0O. A cash
dividend OF 8 per cent. per annum, payable
semi-annually. is payable on the cost OF this
stock. The estimated time of maturity of this
stock is about eighty-th months, at which
time the holder thereof will receive siOO per
share. less the cash dividends already paid
leaving him profit regardless OF the cash
interest received, of s29 per share. An
investment in paid-up stock in this com
pany is surer and safer than an invest
ment in government bonds, as the loans
made by this company are based only
upon first mortgage real estate securities.
This stock can be withdrawn at any time after
two years from date Of certificate. and the
holder will receive back the total cost of the
stock, besides having received cash dividends
at the rate OF Der cent Der annum.

DIR. Parkcr's Proposition Endorsed by tho
Strikers Only.

The meeting Of the strikers at the Rich
mond Locomotive and Machine Works yester.
day morning was very enthusiastic and was
addressed by DR.. W w. Parker. who offered
the following paper looking TO the settlement
Of the strike. which was adopted 10y the meet
ing as expressing their sentiments.
list The undersigned lately in the en-
ploy Of the Richmond Locomotive Works,
desire 10 say that their treatment heretofore
by the company has been altogether kind and
liberal and the pay satisfactory, that they
feel an interest in the growth and prosperity
of the COMPANY. and if re-emplOyed will do
their best towards this end.
I'D That they ask of the company TO agree
hereafter 10 recognize the efforts being made
by the skilled mechanics 10 elevate the stand
ing aud efficiency of their fcllow-workmen,
and that the company recognize the dlstinc-
tiOn in their management between skilled
and unskilled labor. which we think, was not
done in the case Of Hansford. and that only
skilled workmen shall have skilled workmen' 5
places and pay.
I'D Recognizing the necessarily delicate
position between the directors and their man
acer. we are willing that Hansford retain his
present position so long as agreeable 20 him
and the company our chief object in tho
course we have pursued being 10 protest
against the principle involved, and not hos
tilitv 10 one man or 70 the company
That hereafter whenever man claiming
10 be a skilled mechanic applies for work, but
who has not gone through a regular course Of
instruction, that then in that case commit
tee be appointed by the skilled mechanics in
the shop as they may Determined, and the
applicant appear before this committee, in the
presence also Of the manager OF the works or
some one appointed by him, and If the said
applicant stands satisfactory examination IN
all the branches Of his trade he shall thence
forth be recognized as "a skilled mechanic by
'brevet and be entitled TO all the privileges of
a member in good standing, If worthy IN other
respects"
Several OF the stockholders Of the works were
seen yesterday by a TINS man AMI they
were all confident that the paper would not
be considered at all 10y the directory
They said that it did not touch the point at
issue at all.
That they had always recognized the dis
tinction between skilled and uuskiled labor
bat that they did not propose for then en-
ployes to decide as TO the ability of the men
whom they employed.
one Of the stockholders said that with a few
alterations he thought the card might eject
