WORKERS BANK
REACHES THE
MILLION MARK

Following close upon the an
nouncement of the phenomenal
growth of the Brotherhood of Loco
motive Engineers Cooperative Ma
tional Bank at Cleveland, the Anal
gamated Trust & Savings Bank, of
Chicago, the new cooperative labor
bank established by the Amalga-
mated Clothing Workers of America,
reports deposits of almost million
dollars (S991,41112) making its
total assets over a million and a
quarter dollars, just two and a
half months after opening for bust
ness.
The official statement issued by
the Amalgamated bank, says the All
American Cooperative Commission
shows that eight out of every ten
dollars in the bank have been de-
posted by small savings depositors.
The fact that the total savings of
5000 depositors amounts to $780,
600 indicates the democratic nature
of the bank. According to the presi-
dent of the bank 70 per cent of all
the savings deposits in Chicago
banks belong to workers. Cooper
ative labor banks in Chicago there
fore, have remarkable future be-
fore them.
The official statement of the re-
sources of the bank shows the larg-
est proportionate increase in deposits
to have occurred during the past
few weeks. nsice the fall factories
are re-opening,. and employment in
creasing. "The favorable showing
of the banks progress, says the
statement, sis all the more remark
able because the bank has been
open for business up to date only
during the summer or vacation
period when business generally is at
a low ebb."
In addition to its regular banking
activities, the Amalgamated bank
deals in foreign exchange for its
customers and sells steamship
tickets.

THE PASSING SHOW
(By George Ohnstein)
TWO HEIRS

Picture to yourself a magnificent
home with soft velvet rugs, beau
tiful curtains, and everything as
luxurious as money can buy. There
is a hushed quietude over every
thing. A trained nurse in spotless
white glides about noiselessly and
places soft wool and silken gar
ments, softest linen towel and pur-
est soap in readiness. These tiny
garments speak for themselves;
they are waiting to wrap the ten
der little body of an heir to the
fortune of Mrs. Van c., the wife
of a daring speculator. Everything
is in perfect order and the mother
of the young woman PAGES anxi-
ing room. ooh, will the suspense
ever end?" At last the door opens
and the doctor came into the room
and put soft bundle into her arms
and said, "A SON" "Thank God"
said the grandmother, an heir to
our fortune"
The picture changes to a street
down town. A little girl with rag
ged dress approached a doctor on
his way to make a call in the
crowded tenement district.
"Say, mister, you're a doctor,
amt you?"
eyes, child, what's the matter ?"
"Oh, please, kind doctor, come
quick, poor mamma is sick, she
cries and means, and granny sent
me to find a doctor"
"Where is your father?" asks the
doctor.
"Papa just coughed and coughed
himself to DEATH" answered the
child, her eyes filling with tears.
At last they stopped at the door
of a typical tenement home, and
the child almost flew up the three
crooked flights of stairs.
1--WE found him, granny" the
child cried as she opened the door.
Again picture the room barren
of all Injuries. On a bed in one
corner of the room lay the sick
mother. covered with a much worn,
but clean blanket. On chair lay
a piece of coarse blanket and a few
pieces Of infants clothes, donated

Seattle Building Trades Council

seattle BuIldlng Trades tOunclI
Endorse c. C. Dill for Senator
The Seattle building trades coun-
ell at it's weekly meeting Friday,
the 18th, went on record endorsing
c. C. Dill for United States Senator
as the only progressive candidate who
held out any hope of defeating Poin-
dexter The vote was "a in favor
and against. The council repre-
sents 25 affiliated organizations
which comprise a large portion of
the Seattle labor movement. The
business agent of the Seattle central
labor council is reported to have APP
pealed to the building trades body to
be governed by the central labor
councils action as the parent labor
body in the city. Leaders of the
building trades council are reported
to have relied that the central labor
council had no right to endorse a
candidate as that function belonged
exclusively to the State Federation
of Labor, and that the building
trades council was opposed to the
central body interfering with the
proper functions of the State FEEDER
alton, and for that reason would not
be party to the policy that had been
pursued by the central council.
A similar situation exists at Ia
coma where the central labor council
has endorsed the candidate of the
FarmerLabor party, but where the
trades unionists, in the main, have
declared their intention to support
C. c. Dill and have the cooperation
Of mot of the leaders of the Farmer
Labor party in this connection who
have fused their forces with those of
Pierce county Democratic organiza-
ton.
The Spokane Progressive Confer
ence, embracing both the railway
brotherhoods and unions of all A. +. |
of L. locals, has also endorsed Dill
as their selection. Several of the
Legislative boards of the railway
workers organizations have sent ur-
gent appeals during the last week to |
their international unions for finan-
cial contributions on behalf of the |
candidacy of C. C. Dill and it is re-
ported that all moneys left over from
the primary campaign will be ex-
pended for that purpose.
Ina P. Williams of Yakima, promi- |
nent member of the nonpartisan |
league, who was formerly supporting
c. C. Dill. is reported to have switch
ed her support recently to Duncan.
VIM. Bouck of the western progress
sive farmers, is also actively support
ing Mr.. Duncan's candidacy.
Both Dill and Duncan are conduct
ing vigorous campaigns on the west
side. Dill has been addressing six

Duncan is touring southwest Wash
ington under the auspices of the
Farmer-Labor party, accompanied by
J. M. Phillips, of Aberdeen, the
Farmer-Labor candidate for congress
from that district.

SIX Market Stronger.

The local raw silk market is strong at
30 to 40 cents pound higher than it
was week ago and reflects active de-
mand, according to ii. l.. Gwalter & Co.,
Inc. Urgent requests for prompt and
nearby deliveries are evidence of de-
pleted stocks in mills. More business is
being booked for deliveries into July
and August, particularly in Canton
silks, and the whole market is peryaded
with optimism. The Milan market is
stronger, with reelers asking $50 lire for
grand extra grade. Little business,
however is reported for American ac-
count. The Yokohama market has been
registering daily transactions OF 5000
and 1000 bales and prices have ad-
vanced so yen from last weeks quota
tions. bringing double extra crack up to
1.S40 yen and Sinshiu No. TO 1850 yen.
Shipments have been made of 243,000
bales Ready stock is reduced to 5000
bales. The Canton market has advanced
sharply and active buying for American
and European account has depleted
stocks there. The Shanghai market is
more active. Tsatlee silks are missing
