Wastern Newspepes Union = | ENGINEERS TO EXTEND C0-OPERATIVE BANKING Banks Are to Be Located in Scattered Sections; Like Bank at Cleveland By KENNETH CLARK (United Press Staff Correspondent) Cleveland, April 10 (United Press) —A nation-wide co-operative bank- ing system for railroad employes, is the aim of the brotherhood of the Locomotive Engineers. 4 These banks are to be located in scattered sections throughout the United States and are to be pattern- ed largely after :the Engineer’s co- operative bank; nere, saia to be the richest of its kind in the world, ac- | cording to Warren_S. Stone, chief of the engineers’ brotherhood. and head of the bank. Resources ofl the local bank are more than $14,000,000, the monthly report shows. ¥ Three - co-operative banks already are in operation, at Tuscch, Ariz., Hammeond, Ind., and - Philadelphia. Each’is thriving Stone declared. The next step will be installation of a similar bank in the Pittsburgh di trict. Workers of the district are culating subscription lists, and it is| expected the bank/will open shortly. Cities in which, these banks will be located, Stone said, include Minnea- polis, Seattle, Spokane, and San Bern- ardino, Calif. Workers in other cities are egpected, to follow the lead at'a later afte, it wag announced. The idea of the co-operative bank- ing system, as adopted by the brother- hood, briefly, is. X The profits, or savings, of the bank are returned to depositcrs in the form of increased interest rates. In this way, every depositor is a shareholder in the enterprise;” For instance. some, time ago the bank heredeclared dividends and the money was distributed to depositors, at a six per cent rate.of interest. This tory of the world, the officials stated, is the first time in the banking his- that - depositors have shared in, a bani’s' dividend. & 3 Depositors may buy stock in the bank. Thay is voluntary. Stockhold- ers, however, must,be depositors in the bank. L v 2 The co-operative banks loan money to institute a ‘personal collateral loan’ system, whereby a depositor will be loaned money, not, on the usual col- lateral, but.on his record as a work- er, and as a citizen, 3 "The bank is not restricted to rail- road workers. In fact, only 14 per cent of the depositors here belong to the brotherhood of locomotive engin- eers.
