NATIONAL COOP !
BANKS WILL Get
FAIR Treatment
U. 5. Comptroller Explains Mis-
understanding Concerning
Payment Of Profits;

Comptroller of the Currency D. r..
Crissinger wants it understood that
he is not opposed to national CO.
operative banks, organized and oper-
ated along the same lines as the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers
big bank in Cleveland.
It will be remembered that in the
engineers bank dividends of stock
holders are limited to 10 per cent.
After that profits go to create the
surplus provided by law, and when
that has been disposed of the deDos-
itors are to share in the profits of
the institution.
The charter for the engineers bank
was issued during the last admins
tration, when John Shelton Williams
was comptroller of currency. Recent
ly reports have been circulated that
Comptroller Crissinger would not fcl-
low in the footsteps Of his predeces-
sor and that no more charters wsuld
go out to institutions which desired
to follow the lead Of the engineers
bank.
II wish it understood that there
is no disposition here to place any
obstacle in tho way of national CO.
operative banks.' said Comptroller
Crissinger to a representative Of labor
at Washington this week. Each apt
plication will have to be passed upon
as it is presented, and so long as
the national banking laws are COM
piled with we will endeavor to assist
and not to hinder the organizations
of such banks.''
The misunderstanding arose be-
cause Of letter written by one of
t the. comptroller RS assistants, in which,
he stated that It was impossible i'm,
der the law to incorporate in the ''ar-
ticles of association" for a national
bank a provision giving the. depos-
itors a. part of the profits. The let
ter stated that the profits, after the
legal surplus had been provided, be-
longed to the shareholders.
In the engineers bank, however
the shareholders agreed that depos-
itors should share in the profits un-
der the conditions outlined above, but
no attempt was made to place this
! agreement in the articles of associa.

Comptroller Crissinger points out

gress, but shareholders of a. bank
may provide in their bylaws for a
division of the profits with the de.
positors, so long as such division does

PRINTER BOSSES
OUT OF HEARING
Minneapolis Employers Turn
Down State Industrial Board
and Refuse Arbitration.

ST PAUL, Aug, 4.-MinneapOlis
employing printers withdrew Tuesday
from the hearing of the state indust-
rial comission, after the commission
had overruled contentious that it had
no power to investigate the present
lockout in the Twin Cities.
St. Paul employing printers agreed
to continue with the hearing. Evidence
will be heard beginning Monday next.
A suggestion that the situation showed
the need to big business of a state
consta bulary or state police sys-

SYSTEM" said Mr.. Stone. The St. Paul
and Minneapolis police have failed
utterly in this situation.',,s Stone. <ad-
mitted that "strikebreakers were
brought from across the continent" :"
He disagreed with the Minneapolis
boss printers and admitted that the
commission had the power to investi-
gate under the law which created it.
His chief fear was expressed in the
hope that the commission would not
consider the printers charge of
OiclNhl4otAllS dlu Ill lc-
straint of trade and that the Citizens
Alliance was preventing an agreement.
He wanted the commission, however,
to investigate alleged acts of violence
by the striking printers.
The commission ruled that it had
power to investigate and report its
conclusions and findings of facts. It
had power to conciliate, but not to
enforce an award without the con-
sent of both sides.

LEGION TO GUARD:
PubLIC'S RIGHTS
Queer Organization Announced
to Change Concept Of ALL.
Aattitude Towards People.

Here is a new one. It was carried
Tuesday in the daily newspapers u.s.
ing the United Press service:
"NEW YORK, Aug. 4.-Formation
of the Loyal Labor Legion of New
York city designed to 'entirely change
the traditional concept of the Ameri-
confederation of Labor's attitude to-
ward employers, the general public
and the organized wage earners," was
announced today. :.
THE constitution adopted by the
new. organization recognized the fol-
lowing points:
"The right of men and women to
work regardless Of membership or
non-membership in trade unions. -,
1.-THE rights of the general, public
as a.. party at, interest ins labor 2con-.
Il - - -
ing courts of administration with
power to force obedience to their de-
cisions >. -.
4: 1.-The settling Of difficulties between
employers and wag. earners without
intervention by persons by personally
affected or by direct parties to the
matter of constroversy.
NINETY per cent of the membership
of the new organization was declared
to be composed. of officials Of trade
unions affiliated with the American
Federation Of Labor"
The fact that the names of the Of
ficers Of the Legion" are not given
and the names Of members of the A.
F. Of L. of which the organization is
said to be composed are omitted,
makes the story rather doubtful. It
in all proba bility emanated from anti
union headquarters.

COURT lends" STRIKE OF
new YORK BOOKB|NDERS

NEW YORK, Aug. 4.-Striking
bookbinders employed by the T. F.
Tapley company at Long Island City
were surprised to learn that their A.
hour week strike is over. Supreme
Court Justice Cannon made the an
nouncement, and issued an injunction
against picketing. The company made
the usual claim to Justice Cannon
that its plant is running at top speed.
The court, thereupon, ended the
strike and affirmed that picketing is
unlawful
The only difficulty with the decree
is that the bookbinders reject the
courts discovery.
