It is not lawful for man to know what the morrow may bring around.
The Connecticut labor news., 1924-06-07
By SARA A. COWBOY, Director, Federation Bank of New York, Secretary Treasurer United Textile Workers of America.

Labor has ventured forward into a
 new and promising field-that of bank | ing. This movement, still in it's in- | fancy, has grown so marve1ously as to
 become a romance of industry, ana 1 may be Americas distinct contribution ! in solving the problem of the relations of Capital and Labor.
 There are now g labor banks in ex- istence, some of them having been in
 operation long enough to have dem
 onstrated remarkable power to accu-
 mulate deposits. The total resources
 of our labor banks are now estimated
 to be in excess of sixty million dollars They stretch across. the continent
 from New York to Spokane and from the Great Lakes to Tucson, Arizona.
 Our success thus far Is tribute to the keen -sightedness of those who saw that the workers could manage their own savings, as we'll as anyone else could, and also use their credit power for the service of the great majority, IdIllcl tIld1l the 61lIlCIllIlS1lt OI lIle SC lect few.
 The possibilities of our banking en- terprise, just four years old, are tre- mendous. Let me lay before you just few statistics, showing the inpor- tance of workers savings i'll our na- tional prosperity. The gross income for the country in 1923, is placed at seventy billion dollars of which ap- |proximately twelve billion dollars was saved either in banks or re-invested At least twenty-five billion was paid to workers as wages, and another twenty-five billion went to the produc- ing farmers. The combined resources of the thirty thousand banks in the United States last year, was approxi
 nately ffty-four billion dollars. Of this sum, the producers or depositors contributed fifty billion dollars, or thirteen dollars of capital for every dollar put up by the bankers.
 The object of the cooperative bank ing movement in nutshell is to col 1ect in one money pool that share of the fifty billion dollars saved annually that belongs to the producers (the great majority of depositors) and use this vast credit power for the good of that majority.
 We still have long way to go, but
The Connecticut labor news., 1924-06-07

eratives are not labor banks. We are
 only part of a great movement of pro- ducers of many kinds. A labor bank may be identified with but one labor union or distributed among many diff ferent unions and individuals
 In fact there are a number of va rieties of such Institutions worth dis tinguishing, but all labor banks have 1n common, certain cooperative fea- lures, or as many as are permitted by the national or state laws under which they operate. The essential features of our banks are careful management, ownership of stock in the bank by many individuals and organizations, limitation of dividends from seven to ten per cent. to the holders of stock, sharing of profits with the depositors and democratic control of the bank .
 We do not intend to let our latest endeavor-the developing of more than a score of labor banks-distract our attention from our main task-that of improving the lot of the wage earner. Had 1t not been for the reasonably high wage level maintained by large groups of American workers. who sue cessfully resisted the "open shop" and wage cutting movement, we would not have had so remarkable a recovery from the after-war depression. If not for the comparatively high wages re- ce1ved by transportation workers, miners, brick1ayers, masons, plaster CTS, printers and other organized trades there would not have been a margin for savings, none of the abundant cap ital that flowed into our financial in stitutions, and I dare say 1t would have been very difficult to start labor banks.
 None of our achievements by the entry of labor into the field of finance would have been possible, If not for the fighting spirit and the sound eco homie policy of the American Fedora ton of Labor. As the result of years of agitation, we have sold to the pro- gressive American public and demon strated to the world that our econo- mic program-a high wage level, fair saving margin, after the worker has provided bread and butter, clothing. shelter and other necessities for his famIly-brings contentment, efficiency

LABOR BANKS AID WORKERS TO WIN GREATER SHARE

1 I've are on our way!" This program laid In increasing emphasis before the producing element of our people has attracted worldwide attention and dis cussion. One hears that Labor is forg- ing another and more efficient weapon than the strike for the struggle with Capital. We learn from other sources that the accumulation of capital by la Dor and it's investment in industry, will give the trades unions such a stake in production that Labor will hesitate to stop the machines by suddenly and collectively withholding labor power. It participation in finance by workers will bring about better understand make strikes unnecessary, for our memberships vote to go on strike only as the last resort, no one will be more grat1hed than responsible labor offic- ials, for We experience the suffering that results. We are not 1aboring un- der the delusion that labor banks are a substitute for the trades unions
 They will help us materially, but our labor organizations come first, last and all the time. If 1t had not been for the years of struggle to build up our labor movement, we could never have embarked upon this new field of en- deavor. So we intend to keep our feet firmly planted upon that foundation of our expanding movement-our econo- mic organization.
 The general public, many public officials and progressive groups of all descriptions have given cordial support to Labor's entry into this new field. Our cooperative banks have already made a profound impression upon the banking fraternity, that formerly ac- cepted our deposits upon sufferencr and gave the worker little advantage except safe custody of his money, and loaning that money when the time re- quired 1t, to big corporations who used It many times to help crush us

Federal Farm Loan Board Wasted
 Funds, Senator Howell Declares

that there had been "a violation of a cardinal principle of public policy ir the matter of the appointment of Lob- dell This actoin he declared to be unlawful procedure in the creation ol new official"
 Other charges made by Senator Howell included the following, which were made by International Labor News Service several weeks ago:
 "Looseness and gross misconduct oi affairs in the board, indicating incom- petence, and evidenced by the lack oi books of account.
 Unlawful withdrawal and expendi- ture of public funds to the extent of $65000 to $75,000.
 "Looseness and neglect in disburse- ment of public funds; no receipts or vouchers being kept.
 'Misapplication of public funds, in cluding presents to employees and ad- vances and loans"
 Senator Howell said he had asked at the boards office for the books of the organization, and had been told the records were kept by the Treasury. At the Treasury" he continued, ''I was told they only kept an account of re- ceipts and expenditures. The amazing conclusion was that there has been no complete record of the operation of this board which handled $8S1 100000 of public money."

 The great American public has ral- lied to our slogan of constant ad- vancement for the producers of America" Every thoughtful citizen should aggressively support us in se- curing for the workers an increasing share in our abundant national wealth. As part of our constructive and evolu- tionary policy we are, through co-op- erative banks, developing great agen-, cy for the constructive administration of credit to help us reach this goal. We have a big field before us with nineteen million deposits in national banks to draw on and over five million trade unionists and sympathizers to as sist us in this ambitious plan.

BROOKWOOD LABOR
 COLLEGE IS MAKING INFLUENCE FELT
Five Trade Union Conventions Pledge Financial Aid-Others Estab-
 fish Scholarships.

Five recent trade union conventions have promised financial assistance to l Brookwood Labor College, and the i second commencement day in its his | tory on May 30 found Brookwood accepted and approved as organized labor's own college. Conventions of the International Ladies Garment Work CTS, District No. ?, of the United Mine 1 Workers; which has already established ! two scholarships, Pennsylvania and l Virginia State Federations Of Labor and the Amalgamated Clothing Work CTS of America have all gone on rec ord to establish scholarships or to make direct contributions of cores bonding value.
 Labor leaders and prominent educa- tors were it's only speakers at the | commencement exercises. These in cluded ames P. Coughiin of the New York Trades and Labor Assembly, Joseph Schlossberg, Fannia M. Cohn, Rose Schneiderman, Dr. Henry Lin vile, Abraham Lefkowitz, Spencer Miller, IT,, H. w. L. Dana, A. Brown stein, Christian Madsen of the Chica- go Painters, and Harry Elmer Barnes, the eminent socio1ogist, who has been recently making a searching analysis of historical method and challenging the orthodox historians.
 Brookwood IS closely linked up with both the world of labor and the world of learning. It has been endorsed by nine international unions, including the United Mine Workers and the Broth erhood of Railway Clerks, by. eight State Federations of Labor, and by nu- merous central bodies and local unions, and it's policy is directed by a coop erating committee of 10 labor men and women, headed by James Maurer of Chicago. The educational advisory committee consists of Walton H. Ham, ilton, Joseph H. Wi1lits, Leo Wo1man and William F. OgDurn of Columbia.
 A Brookwood fellowship was formed on commencement day by the graduates, for the purpose of keeping
  up more closely with the labor move ment through their activities Of the 1923 class, the first to graduate from Brookwood, several now hold positions as organizers or business agents for their respective unions and others have been organizing and conducting work ers' classes in different cities. This years graduates are all union mem bers. Some will return to their unions to work in an official capacity; others are returning to work in their indus try; and all expect to devote their eff forts to building up the labor move ment, which the Brookwood college course is designed to serve.

A SIMPLE SERMON

There's only one method of neetin'
 life's test; Just keep on a-strivin' and hope for
 the best, Don't give up the game an retire in
 dismay Cause hammers are thrown when
 you'd like bouquet. This world would be tiresome, we'd
 all get blues, If all the folks in it held the same views; So finish your work; show the best
 of your skill, Some folks won't like it, but other
 folks will. If you're leadin' an army, or buildin'
 fence, Do the most that you can with your
 own common sense. One small word of praise in this jour
 ney of tears Outweighs in the balance 'gainst cart
 loads of sneers The plants that we're passin' as com
 monp1ace weeds Oft prove to be just what some suffer
 CT needs; So keep on a-going; don't stay stand
 in still, Some folks won't like you, but other
 folks will

Washington, D. C., June 7.-Sup- porting charges made against the man agement of the Federal Farm Loan Board by International Labor News Service, Senator Howell of Nebraska has renewed his fight on nominations to the loan board made by the late President Harding.
 Senator Howelps attack on the loan board followed a favorable report made on the nominations by the Senate banking committee. Entering series of charges involving the conduct of the board, Senator Howell declared the question had arisen as to whether the Senate could afford to put its stamp of approval on the methods" of admin istration adopted by the board.
 The nominees-Lewis J. Pettijohn, of Kansas; Elmer s. Landes, of Ohio i; Merton L. Corey, of Nebraska, and Edward E. Jones, of Pennsylvania were given recess appointments year ago by President Harding and their names were sent to the Senate last December by President Coolidge.
 In articles on the administration of the Farm Loan Board, International Labor News Service has charged that the appointment of Charles E. Lobde11, its former chairman, to the post of fiscal agent at a salary of $25,000 year, was open to criticism. Senator Howell backed this charge in asserting
