ANOTHER PHITA.
BANK CLOSES UP
Mayor Mackey Tries to
Fool Depositors;
They Organize

PHILADELPHIA, Pa. Dec. "a
After the failure of the Bankers
Trust Co. of Philadelphia, with over
$5o,0oo,000 in deposits. and $4,000
depositors, mostly workers, unable to
draw out a cent, a run began on
the Franklin Trust Co. Tuesday.
The private bank of M. l.. Blitzs-
tech 81 Co., Fourth and Lombard
Streets, which is patronized mainly
by the poorest paid workers, was
forced to close its doors. 1t had
deposits of 100000.
BBbyFI8
Mayor Mackey of Philadelphia, in
an attempt to stop the run on the
Franklin Trust. put on a circus stunt
at one of the branches of the Frank
lin Trust Co. Millionaire Mackey
rushed into the bank with a thous-
and dollars into his pocket, got up
on table and made a speech about
the good condition" of the Frank
lin Trust Co., and then deposited
the thousand dollars. This did not
stop the rush, as depositors lined up
and continued to demand their
money. Most of them are workers
and cannot afford to lose their few
pennies because the millionaire May
or Mackey can play around with
thousand dollar bills.
Mass meetings of the $4,000 de-
positors of the Bankers Trust are
being called especially to organize
the small depositors to demand the
full return of their deposits, or to
demand that the state Immediately
make a loan amounting to the full
amount of the deposits of the small
depositors, with which to pay them

"the decrease in jobs not being as
sharp as the decrease a year ago in
December" (when the crisis was just
getting under full swingD

still is from the truth is indicated by
his statement that there was in No.

and the A.F.L. building trades coun-

that.

that the calculations of the Daily

100000 and 100000 out of work,
