Fundamental economic data in all

economic point Of view, was charac-
tized by three major features as
follows
~ Full employment of labor
and the continuance, especially du,
ring the early part Of the year lf
the upward swing OF the business
cycle in nearly all branches or in
dustry and domestic trade under the
lead of the construction industries

ance of trade, or excess of exports
over imports;

POPULATION DOUBLED
I'M FOUR YEARS

THOMASTON, Oct. 2o.-.4s The
result Of a census recently complet-
ed in this section by U. S. Mail car
riers, it is found thai the combined
population of the Two WINS Of
Thomaston and East Thomaston
totals 1880, which SHOWS that the
population has more than doubled
in the past four years, it is stated.
The 1920 census was 9 $500.
The increase in population, for
the greater part, is attributed to
the growing operation of textile

SHENANDOAH May TRY
FOR NORTH POLE

WASHINGTON, Oct. 30. - A
study of the flight of the Shenan-
doah to the west coast and return
is expected by President Coolidge
to furnish information upon which
may be based a final decision as to
a flight by the air cruiser to the
North Pole.
The President has been told that
the Shenandoah's flight was in ev-
cry way comparable with that of the
ZR-3 across the Atlantic. 1t is re-
called that one of the important
considerations which led to aban-
donment Of the North Pole project

Labor Banks Aid Workers to Win
Greater Share of National Wealth

their own savings, as well as anyone
else could, and also use their credit
power for the service Of the great
majority, rather than the enrichment
Of the select few.
The possibilities of our banking en-
terprise, just four years old, are tre-
mendous. Let me lay before you just
a few statistics, showing the impor-
tance of workers savings in our ma
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
awenty-five billions went to the pro-
ducing farmers. The combined re-
sources of the thirty thousand banks
in the United States last year was
approximately fifty-four billion dol
lars. Of this sum, the producers or
depositors contributed fifty billion
dollars, or thirteen dollars of capital
for every dollar put up by the bank
ers.
The object of the cooperative
banking movement in nutshell is to
collect in one money pool that share
of the fifty billion dollars saved an
nually 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 a long way to go,
but "wesare OH our way!" This pro-
gram laid in increasing emphasis be-
fore the producing element of our
people has attracted worldwide at
tention and discussion. One hears
that labor is forging another and a
more efficient weapon than the strike
for the struggle with capital. We
learn from other sources that the ac-
emulation of capital by labor and it's
investment in industry, will give the
trades unions such a stake in pro-
uction that labor will hesitate to
stop the machines by suddenly and
collectively withholding labor power
f participation in finance by work
ers will bring about better under
standing between capital and labor,
and make strikes unnecessary, for our
memberships vote to go on strike
only as the last resort, no one will
be more gratified than responsible la
Dor officials. for we experience the
suffering that results. We are not
laboring under 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 it had
not been for the years of struggle to
build up our labor mvoement, we
could never have embarked upon this
new field of endeavor. So we intend
to keep our feet firmly planted upon

BY SARA A. CONBOY
Director, Federation Bank Of New
York; Secretary Treasurer, United
Textile Workers OF America.

Labor has ventured forward into a
new and promising fieid-that Of
banking. This movement, still in its
infancy, has grown so marvelously as
to become romance of industry, and
may be Americas distinct contribu-
ton in solving the problem of the
relations Of capital and labor.
There are now twenty-three labor
banks in existence, some Of them
having been in operation. long enough
to have demonstrated remarkable
power to accumulate 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 a tribute
to the keen-sightedness of those who
saw that the workers could manage
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1924-08-29

that foundation Of our expanding
movement--our economic organiza-
ton.
The general public, many public
officials and progressive groups of all
descriptions have given cordial sup
port to labor's entry into this new
field. Our cooperative banks have
already made a profound impression
upon the banking fraternity, that for
merly accepted our deposits upon suf-
ference and gave the worker little
advantage, except safe custody of his
money, and loaning that money when
the time required it, to big corpora
tions who used it many times to help
crush us.
All labor banks are not necessar-
lily cooperative, and similarly all CO.
operatives are not labor banks. We
are only part of great movement
of producers of many kinds. A labor
bank may be identified with but one
labor union or distributed among
many different unions and individ-
uals.
In fact there are a number of vari-
cites of such institutions worth dis
tinguishing, but all labor banks have
in common certain cooperative feat
ures, 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 or
CARNATIONS, limitation Of dividends
from seven to ten per cent to the hold
ers Of stock, sharing of profits with
the depositors, and democratic con-
troll 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
Garner. Had it not been for the rea-
sonably high wage level retained by
large groups of American workers,
who successfully resisted the "open
shop" and wage-cutting movement,
we would not have had so remarkable
recovery from the after-war de-
preston. If not for the comparative
y high wages received by transpor-
tation workers, miners, bricklayers,
nasons, plasterers, printers and other
rganiZed trades there would not have
been a margin for savings, none of
he abundant capital that flowed into
ur financial institutions, and | dare
say it would have been very difficult
to start labor banks.
"None of our achievements by the
entry of labor into the field of fl
nance would have been possible, if
not for the fighting spirit and the
sound economic policy of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor. AS the re-
suit of years of agitation, we have
sold to the progressive American pub
lie and demonstrated to the world
that our economic program-a high
wage level, fair saving margin, after
the worker has provided bread and
butter, clothing, shelter and other !
