War Savings Plan Aids Laboring Man
John E. Wall, Adams County war savings stamps committee chair, argues the war savings plan benefits the laboring man by offering four percent interest compounded quarterly. He describes the laboring class as bearing the heaviest burden from wartime prices and inflation, with wages lagging and sacrifices mounting. He stresses the laborer’s greater financial contributions and sacrifices, including sending sons to liberty, while condemning profiteers and stressing national unity.
