''If we are permanently to improve

from passing into the ranks of the

standards and the protection of wage

Charity must go hand in hand

The public is urged to Investigate

not intended for workers who are en-
couraged to buy stock in the concern
in which they are employed.
Returns on stock ownership are un-
certain. Stock differs from bonds in
that the latter is mortgage On the
property. A bond holder can throw
the property into bankruptcy if divi-
dends are not paid.
Stockholders are paid interest only
after other financial requirements are
fulfilled. Interest on bonds, replace
ment funds, depreciation and sinking
funds are given first attention. The
stockholders are then considered.
Even if there is sufficient money to
pay interest on stock, the board of di-
rectors can vote to pass dividendS~an
