There was another matter. We found that the men's savings caused them anxiety, for little faith have the prudent, saving men in banks and, unfortunately, our Government at that time did not follow the British in having post-office deposit banks. We offered to take the actual savings of each workman, up to two thousand dollars, and pay six per cent interest upon them, to encourage thrift. Their money was kept separate from the business, in a trust fund, and lent to such as wished to build homes for themselves. I consider this one of the best things that can be done for the saving workman.

白话

卡内基发现工人把积蓄藏在家里,因为不信任银行,而当时美国政府还没有像英国那样的邮政储蓄银行。于是他提出:工人可以把最多两千美元的存款交给公司,公司付六厘利息,鼓励储蓄。这笔钱单独放在信托基金里,不混入公司业务,专门借给想盖房子的工人。他认为这是能为储蓄型工人做的最好的事情之一。核心是:让工人敢存钱、能借钱安家,比单纯发工资更能稳住人心。

上下文

卡内基自传中回忆他在钢铁厂管理工人时的做法,当时美国尚无邮政储蓄制度,工人对银行缺乏信任。
