RAIL WORKERS PLAN
COOPERATIVE
BANK SYSTEM
United Press Leased Wire

CLEVELAND, April ia nation
wide cooperative banking system, fol-
railroad employees, is the aim of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive engineers
These banks are to be located il
scattered sections throughout tho
United States and are to be patterned
largely after the Engineer s cooperative
bank here, said to be the richest OF
its kind in the world, according to War
ren S. Stone, chief of the engineers
brotherhood, and head of the bank. Re
sources of the local bank are more thar
Rl4,000,000 and deposits exceed $11, 900,
j00,, the monthly report shows.
Three cooperative banks already ars
in operation, at Tucson, Ariz., Ham
mon, Ind, and Philadelphia. Each i.
thriving, Stone declared.
The next step will be installation OF
q similar bank in the Pittsburgh dis
rict. Workers of the district are cir
culating subscription lists, and it is
expected the bank will open shortly
Cities in which these banks will be
located, Stone said, include Minneap-
oils, Seattle, Spokane, and San Bern.
lrdino, Calf. Workers in other cities
are expected to follow the lead at a
ater date, it was announced.
The idea of the cooperative bank
lng system, as adopted by the brother
hood, briefly, is this:
The profits, or savings, of the bank
are returned to depositors in the form
Of increased interest rates. In this
way, every depositor is shareholder
N the enterprise.
For instance. some time ago the
bank here declared dividends and the
money was distributed to depositors.
at a six per cent rate of interest. This
is the first time in the banking history
OF the world, the officials stated, that
iepositors have shared in bank IS
dividend. %
. Depositors' may buy stock in the
bank. That is voluntary. Stockhold-
,rs, however, must be depositors in
the bank.
The cooperative banks loan money
to institute personal collateral loan''
system, whereby a depositor will be
loaned money, not on the usual col
lateral, but on his record as worker,
and as citizen.
The bank is not restricted to rail
road workers. In fact, only IA per
cent of the depositors here belong to
the brotherhood of locomotive engineers.

d. Removal of his case to Jefferson
county over his protest in the first
instance, he having wanted to be tried
in Greenbrier county.
5. Participation in the prosecution
to controlling degree of private law

ing interests that are arrayed against
the Miners Union.
g. Lack of funds on the part of his
witnesses to make the long trip from
southern West Virginia to Charles
Town, and his own inability to ad-
vance the money.
z. General prejudice throughout
Jefferson county in the defendants in
the cases, brought about by adroit
and carefully conducted propaganda
of coal interests and coal agents.
Keeney's motion is retroactive to
the four previous cases, but it raises
the question before the court for the
first time. Judge Woods ruled that
attorneys known to be paid by the
Logan Coal Operators Association,
and other operators associations
could appear with attorneys for the
state. He held, however, that the
chief prosecutor in the cases should
be Prosecuting Attorney Porterfeld
of Jefferson county, and not the pros
ecutor for Logan county. Mr.. Porter
field has not appeared in the prosecu-
tion so far except to make a mere
Introductory statement to the jury

Judge Woods reserved his decision
on the motion for change of venue
He expressed doubt as to his right
under the code of procedure to as
sign the Logan cases to another
county, but thought he might return
them to Logan county for reassign-
ment.
The motion made by Keeney brings
to judicial attention the far-reaching
and carefully conducted campaign ir

cases, to break up the Miners Union

Washington.-Ar President Har-
ding's close political friends debating
to Wall street, or is Wall street die
tating to them?
Only recently Secretary of Labor
Davis and former United States Sen
ator Beveridge declared that the rail
road labor board should be abolished.
Publicity agents of Wall street are
now making the same claim. These
views are summarized by Benjamin
Baker in the Annalist, "a magazine
of finance, commerce and economics" +"
The writer says the board should
be abolished and its duties assigned
to the interstate commerce commits
sion, whose chairman should appoint
three members of the commission for
this work. The theory of having en-
ployes and management represented
on this board is abandoned.
The writer says there is no neces-
sity for congress passing cant
strike" laws. The Wilkerson iniunc-
ton, he says, will serve every pur-
pose that "can't-strike" law would
Besides, there is no necessity for
arousing the workers and launch a
new propaganda when the railroads
have made their point that the gov
ernment will hereafter come to their
aid and smash a railroad strike.

that labor is entitled to ask" that

perate character, most of whom were
perfectly willing to sign anything
they were paid to sign, and many of
whom have now disappeared entirely
from the locality in which they had
temporary residence when the affda-
Wits were secured. The character of
these affdavits already has been made
plain in open court. Some of these
upon which the attorney general
doubtless placed the greatest i'm
portance, have developed into utter
fabrications.
Il have no way of knowing how
much of the million and half dol
lars was expended in securing this
enormous number of affidavits, but |
am sure that if these affdavits serv-
ed any purpose whatever it was the
railroad interests that secured the
benefit and not the people of the
United States.
"Mr Daugherty's Characterization
of the strike and the strikers is so
filled with hatred, exaggeration and
calumny that every thinking person
will understand it for what it is. The
official who presides over the depart
ment of justice is supposed to be in
terested in the even-handed dispensing
of justice, and he is supposed to be
interested only in an impartial exam
ination of the truth.
"Mr Daugherty says the railroad
strike was "a bold challenge to con-
stitutional government and that the
strikers 'mutinied against decision
of the railroad labor board.
"Mr Daugherty is full aware of
the fact that the transportation act
specifically recognizes the right to
strike, that there is nothing in the
constitution of the United States
which forbids the right to strike, and
that there is nothing in any law of
the United States which makes it un-
lawful to strike.
"It has seldom been my privilege
to hear a more fiamboyant TRADE
from a high government official. This
speech, beyond question, makes 1t tit
ting to classify Mr.. Daugherty as one
of those irresponsible agitators'
about which we hear so much from
him and his friends.
However, if Mr.. Daugherty can
not be calm and dignifed, if he must
be Incorporate, if he must indulge
in rhetoric, exaggeration and false
hood, then | am glad that he goes to
such extremes, for that is the surest
way by which he may undo himself.
"There is a proverb somewhere that
labor might paraphrase for Mr..
Daugherty: oh, that my friend"
might write a book"

Charles Town, w. Va.-The issue
of whether coal operating interests
are to continue to use the prosecut-
ing power of the state of West Vir-
ginia as private asset, and as pri-
vate weapon in fighting the Mine
Workers Union, has suddenly come to
the front as the one big issue before
the court in the so-called treason
trials here.
Unexpected attacks by c. Frank
Keeney, president of District No. 81
of the United Mine Workers of Amer
lea, on the coal lobby and the coal
lawyers associated with the "prose-
cution" has produced CONSERVATION
among them, and put the state on the
defensive, with complete rout in
imminent prospect. Keeney was
placed on trial this week on charges
growing out of the march of miners
to Logan county year ago.
"Who represents the state in this
case?" asked T. c.. Townsend, chief
attorney for Keeney, as the case was
called to trial.
John Chafin, prosecuting attorney
for Logan county, where the indict-
ments were found before being remov-
ed here for trial, said that himself
with the group of special attorneys
at the table with him represented
the state.
"Then the defendant wants to make
notion" continued Mr.. Townsend
A request was made to the court fo1
a change of venue on the following
grounds:
l. The evidence of Mr.. Keeney has
been largely presented in the previous
four trials, with the people of Jeffer-
son county generally familiar with it
and knowing that three previous con
victions have taken place.
2. Activity of Sheriff w. o
Macoughtry in behalf of the state il
trial Of William Blizzard, and alleg
ing that he attempted to influence the
jurors.
3. A systematic campaign of prop
aganda throughout Jefferson county
by the coal operators and theil
"lobby," against the Mine Workers
