Labor Favors Savings Plans Endorsed by AFL
The American Federation of Labor endorses the Savings System of the U S Government urging members and the public to invest in government savings securities. Resolution No 96 from the 1921 Denver convention advocates protecting small investors from fraudulent stocks and promoting thrift through treasury securities. It calls the Treasury Department to continue issue and publicize savings securities and to assist unions in informing workers about the benefits of investing. Postmaster Owen notes thrift stamps can be converted into savings stamps or certificates, with sixteen stamps costing 25 cents and 12 cents each becoming a five dollar saver by January 1 1927.
