DEPOSITS ARE NOW
INSURED UP TO $10,000
Deposits in this Bonkore now insur-
ed up to $10,000 by the Federal De-
posit Insurance Corporation.
The maximum amount previously
covered by this insurance was $5,-
000. This increase in coverage is
made possible largely by the excel-
lent safety rcord of banks since the
federal Deposit Insurance Corpor-
ation was formed in 1933.
Each depositor is insured up to this
new maximum of $10,000 for all de-
posits held in the same right and
capacity.

the Labor Unions seek to
REPUDIATE
this agreement!
What is
the
TRUTH?
At various states in the present dispute with the
brotherhoods of railroad operating employees
. .. the railroads agreed to arbitrate. The
union leaders refused.
. . . the railroads accepted the recommen-
dations of President Truman's Emergency
Board. The union leaders refused.
. . . the railroads accepted th White House
proposal of August 19, 1950. The union
leaders refused.
Finally an Agreement was signed at the White
House on December 21, 1950. Now the union
leaders seek to repudiate the Agreement*
The railroads stand ready to put the terms of
this Agreement into effect immediately, with
hack pay at the rates and date indicated.
The Agreement is given in full below.
