Editorial Opinion
Governments RAILROAD OPERA
TION'S EINAL RREAkDOMN.

From the New York sun.
II the railroads which serve the New
York metropolitan district were under
private management today their oper-
aling officials would not be sitting back
and twidding their fingers while the
food supply of the community is cut
of by strikers.
The operating officials would not be
waiting for word from Washington TO
find out what 10 do.
They would not placidly watch huge
cOnsi ignmcnls of perishablc freight go
to waste i'm cars and on piers.
They would be doing something TO
move the freight entrusted to their rail-
roads for transportation. and to de-
liver at the agreed destinations the
passengers the roads had contracted to
carry.
The operating officials might grant
the demands of the strikers.
They might compromise with the dis
affected employees.
They might refuse 20 deal with men
who quit work and try to till their
places.
Whatever they did it would not be
what Government operation has forced
them 10 do: they would not VOlunta-
rily lie down on the job and leave their
customers and the public without a sin

trial quarrel complicated by obscure
revolutionary movements.

Collective Bargaining FavorabIy Re
ported by Conference Committee.
Washington, Oct. 17.-Recognition
of the right of collective bargaining
came to the floor of the National In
dustrial conference, and was debated
for three hours, but a vote was impos-
sible as the conference had to adjourn
under its rules. Virtual notice was
given by members of the labor group
that should the representatives of CAPT.
tai succeed in their attempt to send
the resolution back to the committee
of fifteen, the labor delegation would
withdraw.
The collective bargaining resolution
providing for an Endorsement of the
right of wage to negotiate
with employers through Representa-
tives of their own choosing" was re-
ported to the conference with the
approval of all of the public and labor
delegates in the committee, but op-
posed by capital representatives.

KEEP LIBERTY BONDS
More Should Be Purchased at
Present Market Quotations.
Financial Experts Believe Ever,
Issue Will Be Above Par Within
Few Years.

Paralleling the treasury depart
ment's effort to bring about wider
realization of the value of investment
in war savings stamps and treasury
savings certificates, a call has been
sounded urging the public to make the
most of the markets investment op-
portunities by purchasing Liberty
bonds at their present quotations. 1t
is pointed out that it is just as patri-
otto today to buy Liberty bonds at
"a, IS or SO as it was to buy them at
100, while on the other hand, it makes
the investment just that much better
for the nan who buys. For instance,
a AZ per cent Liberty Bond, if bought
at "a for example, yields 4.52 per cent.
1t is pointed out also that the fall in
value which has taken place in some
Liberty bond issues is an excellent
reason why those who W the bonds
should hold them now, rcther than sur
render them, at a loss.a In purchasing
the bond, the buyer tacitly agreed to
let the government have the money for
10 or 20 years, or whatever the term
was. He gets less for the bond, it
sold now, because he does not abide
by the implied terms of the agreement.
He wants his money back now instead
of waiting the period of years stated
on the bond he bought.
Every bond will be worth par at
maturity and long before that time
in the opinion Of leading bankers.
| Financial experts are of the belief
that every issue of Liberty bonds will
go above par within a few years. AS
capital piles up again and interest
rates drop, the rates borne by the Lib
erty issues will seem correspondence
large and the value of the principal as
invested, the bond itself, will be cor
respondingly greater.
In spite OF repeated warnings, Lib
erty Bond owners still continue to lis
ten to the. smooth-tongued sharpers
who have fanciful stocks that they will
trade for perfectly good Liberty Bonds
Look before you leap" is the advice
of the Treasury Department "1nves
tigate very carefully before you make
purchases of stock and consider
prayerfully before you trade Govern
ment securities for anything on earth
Courier Democrat. (Langdon, N.D.) 1891-1920, 1919-10-30

who wish to have their Investment IN
a more convenient form than the
books of stamps have the privilege OF
exchanging War Savings Stamps OF
the 1919 issue for treasury savings
certificates. Cards filled with 20 war
savings stamps, total maturity value
500, a be exchanged for $500 treas.
ury savings certificates. Owners of
ten such cards, with a total maturity
value of $1,000, can exchange them for
a $1,000 certificate"
The treasury department, in issuing
the savings certificates, was convinced
that their unusual attractiveness as an
investment would assure large sales,
quite apart from appeals for support
of the government by loans or argu.
ments as to the personal advantages of
saving and investment. But these
arguments apply and add overwhelm.
ing weight to the reasons why treasury
savings certificates should be pur.
chased now.
Purchasing of war savings stamps
and treasury savings certificates in
any one year is limited to $1,000 by
any individual or corporation. This
total is reached by purchase of one
$1,000 certificate, ten s100 certificates
or 200 War Savings Stamps of S. ma
tuTity value. The $1,000 limit may be
bought each year, however, purchases
in 1918, for instance having nothing
to do with the 1919 purchase privilege.
In August 500 certificates sell for
$3.50 and $1,000 certificates for 1898.
The former increase 20 cents a month
in value and the latter 81 monthly.
