PETERBOROUGH TO LEND
MONEY TO EMPLOYEES
Establishes Fund to Free Its
Men From Clutches of
Loan Sharks.

The PETERBOROUGH Rapid Transit Com
pany. which has frequently devised new
schemes for the social betterment Of It's
employees. has now established q money
lending fund SO that employees need not
suffer for lack Of money In case OF sick
ness or other emergency. No interest is
charged.
Employees Of the road have received
circulars notifying them OF the conditions
on which the fund. Is available. Those in
charge Of the fund have tried to make the
repayment feature as easy on the Dor
rover as possible. yet stifr enough so that
no moral injury may be worked upon the
employees who avail themselves Of the
fund.
The fund is open to all members OF the
Volunteer Relief Association. which en-
braces about IS per cent. of the employees.
including most OF the trainmen track
walkers, ticket agents and ticket choppers
Each man. regardless of his earning
capacity. Is allowed to borrow any amount
up to $50. This money Is Intended only for
emergency purposes. and the borrower has
to satisfy the cashier OF the fund that he
really needs the money. There is no red
tape about II except this. and when this
proof Is produced the money Is imme-
diately forthcoming. In extreme cases the
$50 limit may be extended. particularly
II the applicant is an old and trustworthy
employee.
Repayment Is automatic. II a man be-
cause OF illness and consequent short time
makes IS a week or less he pays nothing
back that week. II he makes sl2 the next
week and has borrowed $50 81 is held out
out OF his pay. II he makes SIS the next
week S.. or 10 per cent. Of the amount
borrowed. Is held out. and this continues
until the full amount Is paid The fund
aims to collect 10 per cent. each week
OF the amount borrowed. but the first IS
the borrower earns weekly Is exempt
The marlborough, like many big corpo-
rations in the city. has found that It's
men have been quick to yield To the ap-
proaches of the loan sharks. and the fund
was established to get employees out OF
their clutches

called at THE Sun office yesterday and
made the following statement:
The artlcl,s In the newspapers ques-
tioning the transactions In Sterling Gum
In view OF the fact that when the initial

gravely unjust to US and disclose a COM
plete misunderstanding Of the attending
circumstances. We did not open the mar.
ket for the stock. That was done by the
bidders for II. which included>such houses
as Eugene Meyer, Jr. q Co. and other
Stock Exchange houses.
within a few moments after the news
ticker had announced the name OF the
new company traders and Stock Elk
change houses began bidding for the
stock. II was quite 2 80 O'Clock In the
afternoon and as soon as the bankers
heard through us that trading had begun
in the stock We received Instructions to
supply all bids and thus prevent a run
away market. We did not bid for the
stock and know absolutely that no house
connected with US either directly or indi-
rectly did 30.
THE next day we sold about 5000
shares to a large number of Stock Ex-
change firms from IN to ca. every
transaction to our certain knowledge rep
resentins an actual change In ownership.
We were not surprised at the demand for
the stock. which was and Is Inevitable in
view OF the well known record for phe.
nomenal success enjoyed by the men back
or this new enterprise. We have never
been engaged In Questionable transac-
TONS. The stocks We have specialized In
