talked with him for an hour about the
bank and about himself-mosily abOu,
the bank.
There's not much about me that's
worth while" he said. but | think
there's a lot that's interesting about
the bank. 1t marks, as the labor bank
everywhere does, a new trend and a
new discovery. Labor walked 70 the
fact that the great weapon Of credit,
which rules industrial and agricultural
life, was intrusted 10 individuals and
TO great bankers. Labor was deposit
ing its money in places where it was
not alwayS--to put il mlldly-uSej
for the benefit of labor. We were a
long time finding it out.
There is paid to industrial workers
in the United States every year some
S25 ,000,0 100000 in wages, and out OF
this six or seven millions are saved.
The labor banks expect in the course
of time to control these deposits. Out
of this immense volume of wage funds
what they handle at present Is only a
drop in the bucket, but as the proper
ton grows the stabilization Of indus
try will grow and the relations be-
tween labor and capital will improve.
This bank has already in a number
of instances been able to bring about
settlement of differences between en-
ployers and employees which might
otherwise have developed into long
and costly disagreements. What II
means is that the working man Is NJ
last learning the advantage of doing
business
Does il mean ultimate partnership
and cooperative operation between the
two forces?"
"Never. | should say. should hate
to think it did. 1t would mean the
end of competition, and that spells
always an awful crimp in ambition.
Wages have gone up, happily. As
time goes on they will probably go up
still more, but nobody need worry
about lack of labor to do the country s
work. Machinery will do more and
more of the heavy labor. Already the
signs of this are plain. Who sees a
strino of hod carriers any more, toll
ing up a series of ladders with a
couple of dozen brick? Short-sighted
employers are complaining about the
curtailment of immigration, but the
present law is goin in the end to
benefit all classes. The conditions
that are growing up now are going 20
make a better and happier country.
People shiver over the danger of over
population, too. There is none. In
dustry- by and by will be distributed,
and there will be free hands enough
to restore the agriculture in NEGLECT
ed areas, over thousands and thous-
ands of square miles which now are
unproductive and too remote from
the packed industrial centers to be
available. | am an optimist on every

Frank Owings, veteran telephone

his duty is to direct fire companies

houses where they are needed.
But the public believes his talents
extend into other fields.
Calls for aid have varied from
shooing pigeons off the Soldiers and
Sailors Monument to cleaning out
fiues. People, apparently, believe
the electrical department capable Of
rendering all types of service,
Owings says.
Lovers of animals, their sym

marooned on top Of a telephone pole,
have expressed surprise when told
that it would be impossible for the
fire department to make a special

However, the fire department has

that military hero worship continues
