ST. LOUIS is IN LINE, TOO.
Business Men and Corporations Whose
Men are Called Out for War WIN
Do the Right Thing.

ST.. Louis, April 21.-Men who go to
war from st. Louis need have no fear for
the welfare of their families while they
are away on the battlefield. While no
agreement has been entered into AMONG
the st. Louis companies, is is under.
stood that the banks, trust companies
and large business institutions will
follow the patriotic precedent set by
other cities in not only guaranteeing
to their employees who go to war their
positions when they return, but con.
tinuance of salaries during their alb.
sence.
The merchants realize that those
who are called to battle are serving
their country; that they at all times
stand ready to defend the nation and
the nations prosperity. 1t is, then. but
right that their families should be sun.
ported while they are making such
sacrifices.
Representatives from the large banks
trust companies and leading mercan.
tile houses declare that their institn.
tions will do the right thing. for
their employees. They intimate that
they are as patriotic as anyone and
will show the right spirit when the
time comes
