Felix Vorenberg and J B N Soulliere urged public education on benefits and warned newspapers to promote the movement. State Treasurer Burrill urged caution and stronger laws while stressing unions should not be banks. Soulliere urged thrift, anti-usury goals, and keeping loan rates to 10 percent or less.
