to the strikers; $4,700 a week is expected. Joseph Leiter said his mine at Ziegler, Ill., soon would have a full force and that no strikers would be taken back. Chicago strikers, aided by yellow journalism, started a run on the Drovers' Trust and Savings bank, resulting in their losing three months interest on $250,000. The street carmen's union has de cided to call off the strike on the Blomington and Normal Railway Elec tric and Heating company which has been in progress since Jan. 1, having lost the fight for an advance in wages, recognition of the union, and easiest runs for the older men.
Bank runs are almost always and everywhere a deterioration of bank fundamentals.
But not for you.
You are the measure-zero exception: great fundamentals, solid bank, and yet the Diamond Dybvig fairy spread its rumor. Depositors woke up. Your collateral was not prepositioned. The Clearinghouse had it for you.
Do not pass Go. Do not collect $200. Go directly to jail… or worse.
