The Tritune prints each day the ma
turlfy dates Of all actiue bonds quoted
on the New York Stock Erchange. The
return on a bond to the lnuestor depends
upon three fsctors: the rate Of interest
tho security bears, the market price
and the distance OF the maturity date.
To figure the precise yield on a bond 1t
IS necessary TO use yield tables, Bat the
approximate yield can roughly oe figured
out BY the folloa0ing formula: Divide
the closing quotation on bond fnto
the rate Of interest it pays, and the re-
salt t0iU be the annual return If tho
bond is selling beioa0 par you must
allow also for the appreciation OF the
principal To do this subtract the mar
ket quotation from par, or 100. and di-
ci1c the remainder By the number OF
gears the bond has to run before mo-
turity. For example, if a. per cent
bond is selling at 80 and has ten years
to run, the annual return iciu DC 6.66
per cent. The difference bet,ceon per
and the market price aciu be 10 poi,,,.s

Progress Toward
Rail Labor Peace
Seen in Decision
Notifications of National
Agreement Regulations
Believed Step in Di.
rection of Readjustment

Considerable progress toward So
luton Of railroad labor problems, espe-
cially in the shop crafts, was made in
the recent decision Of the Railroad
Labor Board in regard to punitive over
time in the opinion of railroad men
there, who received copies of the de-
cision yesterday. The new regulations
which modify rules laid down under
the national agreement became effec-
tive August 16.
The two outstanding features of the
decision were the recognition of the
eight hour day basis for wages and the
elimination of time-and-o half pay
on Sundays and legal holidays for
work necessitated By continuous opera
ton Of the carriers. 1t was pointed
out that on the first point most rail
road shops were organized to care for
repair work on ten-hour basis, so
that reducing the number Of working
hours to eight would necessitatc in
creased shop facilities or payment on
the overtime scale. In the second in
stance, however, tho elimination of
punitive overtime pay was regarded
as victory for the railroads.
paragraph in the decision which
WIS IFrtlcularly pleasing TO railroad
men was the one recognizing the jus
tice Of the railroad mems plea. This
said: "The Labor Board does not
deem it necessary to cntor further into
a de Sled discussion of SAID rules. A
mere comparison by all unbiased mind
Of the rules adopted by the board and
the CORES sponding rules embraced in
the national agreement which we're pro-
posed by the employees for rcadoption
by this board is sufficient, the board
believes, to convince that the modifica-
tions are just and reasonable and that
the complaint made by the carriers that
the national agreement rules were bur
densome, unreasonable and unjust was
we'll grounded"
On the basis Of this view railroad mer
were moro hopeful of the outcome Of
their complaints in regard to overtime
and other features of the national
agreement which they feel are burden
some. 1t may be that the board will
be more liberal in its Interpretation
of the agreement in regard to piece
work, and it is on this basis that raft
road men see increasing hope of a
readjustment Of their problems.
