The employers. 1t was said, regard
ed this promise as pledge and one
interfering with return OF the strik-
ers, not only as to the actual return
to work, but in its effect on their
seniority privileges.
The pension question, the railroad
officials said, was one that they might
be willing to concede.
Another point on which the execu.
tives were said to have indicated
disposition to yield was that OF let
ting shop work to outside firms.
Only two roads, the Erie and West

was said to have been indicated that

Weekly Market Letter
Boston, September 20, 1922.

Boston,, september ~, 1S-A.
1t has been frequently and rightly
said that the main difficulty confront
ing the small investor has been the
impossibility of finding, in small
units, suitable securities in which to
place his funds, and the fashion of
issuing so called "Baby Bonds" arose
to meet the needs of such people some
years ago. During the war Liberty
Bonds were issued in denominations
of as low as $4,000. thus enabling
those of limited means to obtain a
security of the highest grade for a
small sum Of money. For such in
vestors we think the new tissue of
General Electric Is most worthy of
careful attention.
This stock is entitled to cumulative
dividends at the rate of six per cent

dends on the present common stock
