his hearing into the financial re

its Chicago parent organisation.
E. G. Jarvis. former head of the
Investment department of the Pa

company, answering questions di
rected by Commissioner Thomas,
insisted that although men or the
company had been urged to buy
and sell the stock they had not
been coerced, and that none was
discharged for failure to sell
stock.
"There was no direct statement
that a man would lose his Job, but
that was the Inference, wasn't it
if he didn't produce?" Commis
sioner Thomas asked.
"Some employes probably were
afraid that It they could net make
a satisfactory showing It might
reflect on their employment." Jar
vis returned.
The commissioner produced a
memorandum signed by Fred
Cooper, city transportation mana
ger for the utility, reading that
whenever a piatlorm man "gets in
bad," among the things to be con
sidered was:
"Has he bought or sold - any
C. P. S. stock?"
Jarvis indicated that Cooper
considered a man with a good rec
