The first 10 class l railroads to re-
port their earnings for April generally
showed declinse for the month last
year in direct reflection of reduced car
loadings, which were traceable to the
substantial decrease in coal movements
this spring. One of the poorest show
ings was made by st. Paul, which re-
ported net operating deficit last month
OF 1851 1855, compared with net income
of $1,066,294 in April, 1923.

Some Recession Caused

NEW YORK, May 26.-Bond prices
displayed a strong undertone in today's
uneven trading, although the unexpect-
ed rise in call money to Az per cent
late in the day caused recessions in
Liberty and investment rail issues
which cancelled earlier gains.
Curious cross currents marked the
course of trading in the rail list. New

lished by some of the less active is
sues, including Rock Island 4hs, Den

A Promotion In
Which We
Helped

Changes in a big manufactur-
ing firm in this city recently
brought immediate or early pro-
motion to several employees who
had shown marked ability.
One of these was Gene Fill
ward. He would be advanced in
about six weeks, he was told.
1t was great news to Gene, but
at the same time it put him in
rather an embarrassing situa-
ton. At the moment he was
badly in need of $3.50. He had
planned to borrow it from the
loan fund which the company
maintained for employees, but he
felt instinctively that an applica-
tion at this time would make a
bad impression.
Fortunately he knew about
Trustees System. We were genu-
inely pleased to help him, espe-
cially as our help would safe
guard his chances for promotion.
The promotion actually came a
few weeks ago. The increase in
Genes salary now more than
take care of the small payments
on his loan.
