Power compay. No reply being received, the union withdrew its funds from the bank and deposited them with the Old National. The Spokane & Eastern Trust company is the largest depository of the working class in the city and the belief that the same interests control both the bank and the Washington Water Power streetcar lines may result, it is claimed, in action being taken by the loca unions to induce members to withdraw their savings from the bank. Many local union men argue that it is folly for the working people to supply the Washington Water Power company with money to build railways, power plants and elect city officials. The fact that one union has already changed its account to another bank will, it is claimed, lead to similar action by other organizations. The union people do not think they can nor do they intend to damage the credit of the bank. They simply say they propose to decline to do business with any branch of an institution they believe is fighting them in every way possible.
