Dor Bank of indianapolis was repu-
dated today at the convention Of the
State Federation of Labor here, when
a motion was tabled, proposing that
the executive committee of the State
organization purchase ten shares OF

Michael Mitch, vice president, Dis
trict II. United Mine Workers. was
the principal speaker against the

I'VE all Indorse a cooperative bank,
but 1 understand that the men who
are backing the bank are not trade

Even when we have labor banks,
we cannot use them in an economical
way and to our advantage" said
Mitch, telling of the rufusal of the
Stone Bank of Cleveland, a co-operat-
i've labor bank. to lend striking miners
money to carry on their operations,
Mitch said the Stone bank is rail
road union bank and owns mines in
West Virginia and Kentucky in which
non,union men are employed,
In his attacks on the bank, Mitch
said he was in Indianapolis at the
time the Labor Bank here was being
organized and he nor any of his as
sociates were consulted about It.
Charles Kern, Indianapolis. member
OF the organization committee OF the
bank. said Mitch was entirely In err
ror and that every official connected
with the union had been invited to at
tend the conference.

torment of schools. The resolution
was presented by Russell H. Gilmore
Of Indianapolis Typographical Union

Many rich prizes have seen offered

said.
Everywhere people are asking why
the spirits do not welcome those tests.
The answer that spiritism is giving to
this question is that investigators that
approach must come with open minds;
and in fact, they must believe in the
spirits before the spirits are willing
to demonstrate their marvellous pow

of science is to approach everything

by the cult of spiritism for recogni-

for him to fit up an investigating lab
