Fact Is, our foot’s aslee: THE WAY TO POPULARIZE THE LOAN. on easy terms, payment to be deducted from weekly or monthly r EMPLOYERS will help their employees to buy Liberty Bonds wages, as urged by The Evening World, there will be no trouble about popularizing the Liberty Loan. Warren 8. Stone, Grand Chief of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, believes that'railroad men alone would take $190,000,000 of the bonds if the railroad companies would “provide the machinery of payment.” “The wage earners of the nation,” says Mr. Stone, “have very little saved up capital that they can lend to the Gov- ernment. Their savings are in thelr homes and their insur- ance and a little nestegg for a rainy day. But they can lay | aside @ part of their future wages, week by week and month by month, to buy Government bonds.” Corporations and business concerns have béen quick to catch the idea. The American Expr Company announced yesterday that if a sufficient number of its employees wished to subscribe for bonds it * would consider a plan of providing for payment in menthly instal- ments. The McKeesport (Pa.) Tin Plate Company voted to turn over * a quarter of a million dollars’ worth of Liberty Bonds to its employees on, “convenient terms.” The Guaranty Trust Company of this city has worked out a comprehensive scheme for financing purchases of bonds by employers for employes. Every day more companies make similar offers. Why not the railroads with their million anda half of wage earners? Surely these great corporations should not be behindhand in helping others to help the Government, particularly when they can thereby and at the same time strengthen the loyalty of their em- ployees and develop among them that sense of patriotic partnership, responsibility and co-operation which the nation now more than ever needs. — Colonel's army dwindles to 871 men—World.
