plan entered by the United States
Railway Labor Board yesterday, il

three proposals TO the presidents
OF the four big brotherhoods and
the switchmen's union. They were:
The railroad TO make a reduction
in freight rates corresponding 10
the wage reduction of July l, less

ARE YOUR BOND
WELL PROTECTED

During the last twelve months the
vaults of many banks have been bur
glarized, and in some instances SAT,
ETY. deposit boxes have been broken
open and the contents stolen. The
savings of lifetime are often lost in
this manner a 5 the banks assume no
responsibility where their vaults are
properly protec ted.
For many years the Bank Of Bara-
boo has maintained an Electric Bur
glar Alarm System which has never
been defeated and other mechanical
protection has been added to prevent
the vaults being burglarized This
bank, believing in giving it's custo-
mers the fullest protection obtainable,
has arranged to furnish insurance
covering night burglary upon ne
gOtiable securities-such as Coupon
Liberty Bonds etc. On account Of the
superior construction of the vaults
and the mechanical protection main
tanned it is possible to obtain this in
surance at very reasonable rate.
