LABOR BANKING
PROVES GREAT
SUCCESS
Railroad Brotherhoods Open
Up Their Cooperative
Bank and Have Already
Passed Two Million Mark.
(By the Federated Press.

Washington, Dec. 20.--Warren s.
Stone, grand chief OF the Brother
hood OF Locomotive Engineers, and
chairman of the board of the B. o1
L. r. Cooperative National Bank,

Grated Press that the bank. which
was opened ON Nov. 1, 1920, had
Sl,5o0,000 of deposits on Dec. z, and
will pdss the s2,000,000 mark by
Dec. 81. Its first week showed 400
depositors, with a total of over
100000 in deposits. The first ST.
5000 was i'll hand by Dec. /.
Ours is the first cooperative ma
'tional bank ever chartered" says
Stone, and ] believe it is the first
cooperative bank in the United
States. Starting in the middle of a
quarter, we deposited but very little
OF our funds because we did not care
to lose the interest for the last six
months of the year, and we find
many who will later become deposl-
tors being in the same position
wishing to save accrued interest.
THE bank is specializing particu~
.larly in systematic savings, in trust
funds, and in foreign exchange. The
funds of the banks will be- used for
productive purposes, in aiding men
in need, the building of homes, and
for the promotion Of the co-opera
tive movement.
Everyone is made welcome; ad-
vice to those who do not. speak our
language is given in theif own tom
gue--fourteen languages are spoken
among our employees at present.
we can do anything that any legi-
innate bank can do, and are doing
a few things that no other bank has
attempted before"

AGAINST "ITsISH BILL"

Now York, Dec. 20.-Ireland never
will accent the British governments
Irish BILL" according to Sir Horac ce
Plunkett, Irish statesman, who ar
rived yesterday on the Baltic from
Liverpool. Sir Horace asserted the
main trouble With the bill is that
it represents the interests of only
about one-fifth OF the people Of Ire
land and lis entirely repugant to the
four-fifths.
Sir Horace complimented Ameri-
can and French newspaper enterprise
which has resulted in swarms Of
American and French news CORE
spondents entering Ireland to report
happenings there. He said the read
ers in America and France had a
better idea Of conditions i'll Ireland
than did the people of Britain.
'If the British public was fully in
formed as to conditions in Ireland =
he said, "nine-tenths Of the British
public would oppose the Irish bin as
it now stands.
Plunkett denied he had come to
the United States to testify before the
nations commission Investigating
conditions in ireland. He said he had
come merely FOR recreation and
quiet, which, he said, he could not
now obtain in Ireland.

Abraham Lincoln gave some
pretty good advice when he said;
Teach economy. That is one of
the first and highest virtues. It
begins with the saving of
money" 1t would be interesting
to know just how many parents
in this country have walked up to
the fact that the teachers in our
schools have organized their
pupils into Thrift Clubs and are
giving systematic instruction in
Thrift and Saving. If you are a
parent, let your child's teacher
know you appreciate this training
being given for success and pros
perity. And do not forget it is a
duty of every parent to set his
child wise example. When did
you buy your last War Savings
Stamp?
