The report said in part:
 The Federation Bank of New York is a permanent monument to the con structive ability, the power and inhu- ence of the New York labor movement. It is one year and three months old, is already classed as six million dollar institution and is growing steadily In this very short space of time we Lave obtained the ranking of the largest la bor bank in the East and the Sc :or.l largest in the United States A report of our financial condition as of Aug :, 1924, shows our total resources tD be approximately $o,3O0,OO0."

 "We have convinced the skeptics in the community and demonstrI ed to he business world, the power and resour- ces of our movement" the report con- cludes Our prestige is higher than at any time in our history. Not only have we been successfully in the first flush of enthusiasm but since we are essen tially a bank without fads or frills, we have laid the foundation for steady and continuous growth"
 Labor unions are cautioned to be p~E- dent in organizing labor banks in view of the large amount of capital requ:. ed to make such institutions successful. The report is signed by Peter J. Brady, John Sullivan, Joseph Ryan, James AL len, Fred Moran, Edward Canavan a't Charles E. Sinnigan.

The mines are responsible for the bulk of the net increase in 1924 with the building trades and transport workers also shown appreciable gains The advances in the case of transport workers resulted mainly from arrange ments following the locomotive engi- neers' strike early in 1924.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. October IS
Facing financial stringency the In
diana Republican organization has
been only partly successful in OBJ
tanning assistance from the national
committee AS a result several bu-
reaus maintained by the State COM
mittee have been closed.
1t is understood the national lead
ers promised to match dollar for dol
lar money raised by the State COM
mittee. but the inability of the latter
to overcome the objections of bank
ers who were caught in the McCrav
crash, or who have objections to Ed
Jackson, klan-backed Republican
nominee for governor, left the COM
mittee financially embarrassed.
Jackson's friends believing that his
chances for election have been seri-
ously impaired by lack of funds have
turned their ire on Joseph B. Healing,
national committee, who is sitting on
the national advisory committee at
Chicago. accusing him of drawing
the national purse strings too tight
iy. kealing some time ago declined
to comment on the State ticket, which
was interpreted as an aversion to
the success of Jackson.
The failure of Harry S. New, Post
master General, to go to extreme
lengths in urging the election of
Jackson in speeches in Indiana this
week has added to the growing
break between the Jackson-Klan
crowd and the national leaders in the
State.
An interesting situation has arisen
in the fourth district. where William
Hill, Republican nominee for Repre-
resentative in Congress, is campaign
t.
rejected overtures from Jackson to
change his stand and is proceeding
with his denunciation of the Klan and
is ignoring the candidate for COVER
nor.

BELIEVE KENTUCKY
IS SAFE FOR DAVIS
Experts Think Democrats
Will Triumph With Usual
Majorities.
Special Dispa tch to The Star.


LOUISVILLE, KY, October lS-
Two weeks and two days before cleo
tion day finds the political situation
in Kentucky sizing up in this fash
ion:
Davis and Bryan appear certain of
carrying the State by a normal Demo-
cratic majority-that is, from $4,000
to 10000.
Senator A. Owsley Stanley seems fair
ly sure Of winning by from half
to two-thirds that figure.
The Republicans are hoping against
hope that La Toilette industrial de-
fection in Louisville. Covington and
other industrial strongholds, along
with some ku Klux alienation in
rural districts, will be sufficient to
carry Coolidge through. but it is
slim hope.
Fight on Bond Issue.
They also count on aid from the
mountain Republicans. who promise
to come out in great numbers to vote
for $75.000.000 road and institutions
be offset by the thousands of Blue
Grass and western Kentucky rural
ties who are gainst it.
The bond issue fight almost over
shadows the presidential race, and
one indication is that Kentucky's
Democratic governor. w. J. Fields,
who was elected by $4,000 last year,
has not turned a Wheel for his
party's nominees, but is stumping
the State for the bonds. The anti
bond issue organization claims the
issue will be defeated by 100000
votes or more. The pro-bond people
are not putting out any figures.
Louisville May Decide.
In the senatorial race the Labor
vote Is solid for Stanley. He has the
Endorsement Of the State and American
Federations Of Labor. On the other
hand, Frederic M. Sackett, his Re-
publican opponent, is a capitalist and
an employer of non-union mine labor.
There has been and is still some Ku
Klux activity against Stanley, but the
greatest danger to him lies in the
dry vote. However, the advantage Of
presidential year is Stanley's, because
the farmers, who make up the bulk of
the Democrats, usually stamp under
the rooster" and let it go at that.
Louisville will be the great battle
can organization which swept the city
in 1920 by $4,000 has badly broken
down and the Democrats claim a gain
The Republicans outregistered their
opponents but the $4,000 independent
votes will tell the tale" Both par
ties claim q victory here. Save pos
sibly for the Louisville district, there
is likely to be no change in the con-
gressional delegations lineup. John
w. Langley has appealed his whisky
conviction case, but seems likely to
be reelected in the meantime.

heading a section of the national
committee for work with labor.
Now the Republicans have OBJ
tained the assistance Of William
No. Doak, vice president of the
Brotherhood of Railroad Train
men. He made a talk in Wash
ington Friday night which was
broadcatt nationwide against the
La Toilette ticket. He said that
two cardinal principles of the
Socialist third party as he termed
it, namely. the naturalization of
public utilities and the crippling
of the Supreme Court are essen
TALLY a step toward communism
and the overthrow of the Amer
lean system of government
The vice president of the Broth
erhood of Railroad Trainmen gave
the following reasons for his as
Sertion that the economic inde-
pendence and social welfare of all
classes of workers would be jeop-
ardized by the naturalization pro-
posal.
First, it would tend to create
class government, foster a class
domination and encourage a class
hatred.
Second. it would place directly
on the shoulders of average cit
izens an additional tax burden Of
some s610.0o0.000 year as a re-
suit Of the withdrawal from tax
alton of the $4,000, 900, 600 of
utilities now taxed by the States
and by the Nation.
Third. railroad employees would
become Government workers and
they would automatically revert
to a. political status.
Fourth, the Government would
have it in its power to put them
on a civil service status, which
would destroy the important privi-
lege of collective bargaining
gained after a generation of effort.
Fifth. the power to strike
would in effect be gone, because
of the generally accepted axiom
that the citizen cannot strike
against his Government"

Republican managers found
great comfort last week in the
announcement of Charles Nagel
of St. Louis that he would sup
port President Coolidge. Mr..
Nagel, who was Secretary of Com
merce and Labor under President
Taft, is one of the leaders of
Americans of German descent. 1t
had recently been rumored that
he was ''wabbling" in his Repub-
licanism and might possibly take
up the La Toilette cause. Mr..

BATTLING FOR VOTE

Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
SIOUX FALLS, S. D., October IS
Judging by the steam the Coolidge
and La Toilette elements are putting
into the closing days Of the campaign
in South Dakota, with the five cleo
toral votes Of the State as the prize.
one would believe South Dakota had
six or eight times that number of
electoral votes.
But as this is in the heart of the
great agricultural west, the question
of party pride is playing a large part
in the ferceness of the political bat
tie. the Coolidge element apparently
being determined that a strong Re-
publican State. such as South Dakota
has been in the past, shall not be
captured by the third party.
Senator La Toilette came to the
State Friday and made one address
in Sioux Falls. He also has a num-
Der of speakers hard at work in the
State
The Republicans also are unusually
active. and in addition to State speak
ers this week had in South Dakota
Senator Medill Mccormick of Illinois,
and James r. Garfield, Secretary of the
Interior under President Roosevelt.
They viii be followed by Frank O.
Lowden, former governor Of Illinois,
who will speak at Aberdeen, Tuesday.
Phillip Pitt Campbell, former Repre-
sentative from Kansas, will speak at
Cedar Lake Thursday, at Fulkton
Friday, and at Gettusburg Saturday.
The three towns are situated in the
agricultural district, and the audi
ences will be made up largely of
farmers.
G. o. p. IL Confident.
AS the election approaches the
RpnnhliCang
themselves aa confident they will
carry the State hy a large plurality
over La Toilette, maintaining that
their large normal plurality in South
Dakota will carry their national
ticket through and give it big
lead over the La Toilette ticket. The
Republican organizations in the vari-
Gus counties and precincts of South
Dakota now are appealing to all
Republican men and women to vote.
AS the battle in South Dakota so
far as national politics is concerned
is clearly between Coolidge and La
Toilette. the Democrats have no hope
of making a good showing for their
national ticket, but continue to con-
centrate great part of their efforts
on the United States senatorship in
the hope of winning a victory for
L. s. G. Cherry Of Sioux Falls, their
nominee. Because Gov. w. H. Nc
Master. Republican nominee for
United States Senator. "bolted" the
Republican State convention last
December. which indorsed Coolidge
for President. and worked actively
for Senator Hiram johnson and also
is promising in this campaign that
he will join the farm bloc if elect ed
he is expected to lose a great many
Republican votes, but whether Mr..
lican votes to overcome the large
normal Republican plurality and
bring. about his election. is one of
the doubtful issues of the pressnt
campaign.

haps, the chief issue in the coming

The Republican candidate for gov
ernor is the head of the largest in

Germ in the State. He is Eugene J.

gracious, popular with all who know
her She is of old Southern stock-Vir-
ginia, Tennessee. MissOuri-and her cul-
ture is that of the South. Devotion to
her husband and her children has been
the commanding motive of her adult life.
Daughter of Tennessee gentleman and
his Virginia wife. she was born in St.
Joseph, Mo, where her father was en-
gagged in merchandising. She was edu-
Gated there and in Omaha, where she
resided when she married William Ross

Cheyenne, where he was a stranger. She
was his splendid spur" to new courage
and new endeavor when, in his political
career, he experienced defeat after de-
feat before the triumph, one of the most
amazing upsets in Wyoming political
history, that made him governor just 20
years after he arrived in the State.
Bereaved, she has the solace of
three fine sons. George and Ambrose,
twins, 81 years old, and Bradford, IL,
who may enjoy the unique distinction
of being the offspring of parents both
OF whom were governors of an
American commonwealth
The most sensationally prominent
figure in the history of Wyoming

politics, even though she has been
drafted by the Democratic convention.
