Snecial Dispateh to The Star NEW YORK, May 20.—Celebration last night of the second anniversary of the foundation of the Federation Bank of New York was marked by the reading of a letter from President Coolidge to the head of the institu- tion. This bank was founded by a small group of New York City labor union men and {ts resources have grown from $5600,000 to $11,078,828. President Coolidge’s letter was as follows “It would certainly be a great pleasyre if I could come to New York to participate in your celebration of the second anniversary of the founding of the Federation Bank, but it is impossible for me to do so. I should like to come because I am in- terested in the work you are doing. “It {s another strong plece of evi- dence of the fact, which every one knows who makes any investigation, that the people of this country own property of the country.
