Notice to that effect, says the State Journal, has been sent to the bank's customers. The Continental Nation al of that city is working on a simi lar plan, but formal announcement of it will not be made until a later date. The National Bank of Com merce is studying the plan and ana lysing its accounts but has not yet decidtd whether or not it will inau gurate the charge, M. Weil, presi dent, said. The First National's announce ment says that analysis by many banks has shown that n bank can handle one check for each $10 aver age balance in a customer's account and that the cost on each check paid in excess of that number is approx imately three cents. Accordingly, the bank will charge three cents for each check nr.id against a customer's account, after allowing one free cluck for each $10 of average bal ance in the accounts. This applies in accounts averaging less than $300. Thus, if a customer's average bal ance is $50 he is allowed five free checks. In addition, fifty cents a month will bo charged as an ac count charge if the average balance is less than $100. Activity charges may be avoided, the First National explains, if customers will give at tention to their avenge balances and issue checks accordingly. Banks over the state aro general iv adopting this form of service charge in a greater or less degree and Plattsmouth banks make a service charge of 50c a month on accounts under $50. The cliarge for handling checks is expected will also be taken up by the smaller banks In a more modified form. how rer. is a great many small accounts are to be found in the smaller banks of the state.

Davis Soviet Trade Union Organ Calls for 'Organized Class Hatred' Wants Heal Action AO EXT Plattsmouth Nebraska Moscow, Feb. 4. Increased con centration of Communist and Labor organizations all over the world upon the problem of organizing the unem ployed is advocated in an article which A.

He also urges preparation for the celebration of an International day of strouggie against unemployment on Feb. 25. Mr. Lozovsky defines the objective of the Communist and Red Trade Trn ion International regarding unem ployment as "not patience but stormy protest; not waiting, but passing into offensive; not charity, but insurance at the expense of the state and em ployers: not entreaties with out stretched hands, but organized class hatred against those guilty of mass iiunger and poverty." He urges strcnw hi'iing of Communist organ izatioiis for unemployed.
