BROWN, Poplar, Montana, Attorney for the Estate. 31-t4 London Letter The miners, suffering from a wage agreement they were starved into ac ce pting two years ago, are engaged j n a hard struggle with the mine owners to get an increase in the mini mum wage and to secure a revision of the ratio between profits and wages. The owners refuse to alter the agreement in the men's favor, They even threatn to alter it against the miners. So averse are the union officials to push matters to an ex that they have again asked for an interview with the employers. Should this second interview' also prove abortive, a miners' delegate meeting will be summoned to decide what the next step shall be. The of ficial announcement that the cost of living has just gone up four points adds to the significance of the indus trial situation. By EVELYN SHARP (Federated Press Staff Writer) LONDON.—The government an nounces it will spend 40 million pounds sterling on relieving unem ployment this winter. The 40 mil lions, analyzed, turn out to be in the main sums of money which may be provided by the local authorities and private companies (road and bridge building, railway development, 'etc.). Many of the schemes are simply on paper. The government admits that carried out to the full its plan would only touch the fringe of the problem, and falls back on its old panacea for unemployment—increased emigration to the dominions and colonies. The number of unemployed on the registers is now' 1,251,600; these are totally unemployed and take no ac count of those not receiving the dole or of the short-time employed, or of other classes of unregistered workless men and women. This is an increase of 5,000 in one week. if In spite of the tendency of the Im perial conference, sitting in London, to confuse the issue by suggesting that our present industrial distress can be remedied entirely by inter dominion action—tariffs, emigration, and so on—Labor in this country knows how much its future depends upon what is happening in Europe, es pecially in Germany. The fact that the German capitalists have sold out to the French and are compelled, in order to honor their part of the un holy bargain to oppress their own workers, is precipitating a crisis in that country which cannot but affect the standard of living, hours of work, etc., of workers everywhere. British housing situation alone should be enough to make a revolution even among the most patient working class in the world. Before the London County Council, Harry Gosling, Labor M. P., gave terrible instances of the disgusting conditoins prevailing in Wapping, a dock district, where fami lies are crowded together in one-room ed tenements in houses that have long been condemned, that no landowner would allow his pigs to live in, still less his race horses. When the London unemployed have twice seized empty premises to live in because they had nowhere to go, the police have evicted them into the streets. The MEXICO OBTAINS RIVERA'S RELEASE WASHINGTON. — Librado Rivera, Mexican revolutionary journalist and associate of the Magon brothers in propaganda and in American prisons, is now released from I heaven worth and on his way to his own country. He may thank the Mexican government for his freedom, since it has been ac tive in his behalf since first it came into power with the overthrow of Caranza. Indications in Washington are that the Obregon cabinet insisted during the recent negotiations with the United States with reference to recognition and a new treaty, that Rivera be given his liberty. GOOD CIGARETTES lO* O EMU I MC "BULL DURHAM TOBACCO FIRST DI VIDENT OUT OF RUSSIA important branch of Russian industry is operating very, profitably was brought to light this i week when the Russian-American In dust rial Corporation ol 103 L. ! Sreet, New York, announced its first dividend of 3 per cent payable to five and a half thousand shareholders. This corporation, known in the American needle trades as "RAIC," was launched by the Amal gamated Clothing Workers of Ameri ca at its Convention in 1922 for the purpose of cooperating with Russia by investing in Russian industry. Last February the corporation ad vanced several hundred thousand dol lars to the All-Russian Clothing Syn dicate Inc., a Russian Government syndicate operating 25 clothing fac tories of all sorts (employing 15,000 workers) and 25 retail stores. The Syndicate is able, six months after the first investment by the Ameri can corporation, to pay a dividend to the "RAIC" at the rate of 10 per cent per annum, thus demonstrating unusual vigor during that period of operation. On the strength of these profits the "RAIC" has in turn de clared its own initial dividend of 3 per cent. That one the STATUS OF "RAIC The RAIC is duly incorporated as an American company under the laws of the State of Delaware, its charter providing for an authorized capital stock of $1,000,000.00, divided into 100,000 shares of a par value of $10. These shares have been subscribed in part by Russian sympathizers in al most every state in the Union and in several foreign countries. Most of the stock is held by small subscribers, chiefly labor unionists, agreement with the highest Russian authorities secures its capital invest ment in Russian industry and guaran tees also a dividend to the corpora tion of 8 per cent per annum. This is considered to be one of the most favorable concessions granted by the Soviet Goverment to any foreign corporation. The reason for this, it is reported, is the fact that the RAIC" is a workers' corporation made up of many small shareholders. RUSSIAN FACTORIES BOOMING The profits of the Russian Clothing Syndicate Inc. have exceeded all ex pectations, the officers of the Ameri can corporation stated in announcing the dividend. The exceptional vol ume of business bas been due chiefly to the expansion of the Russian civi lian trade, as no clothes are manufac tured for export, and the satisfactory sales at the Big Russian Fairs at Nizhni-Novgorod, Irbit (Siberia) and the business stimulated by the All Russian Agricultural Exhibition in Moscow. The Syndicate sold goods during this year, up to October 1st, amounting to $4,000,000.00. B. Bog cate, is a former member of the Am algamated Clothing Workers of Amer ica and a man thoroughly skilled in the technique of the clothing indus try.

Referring to the dividend, the Pres ident of the Corporation, Sidney Hill man, who is also President of the Amalgamated Clothing Workers of America, stated that he and his asso ciates in the doubted the substantial advantages of their investment in the efficiently managed Russian Syndicate.

W 7 hen we organiz ed our corporation to help Russia industrially some folks laughed at us, some called us visionaries, but other stepped forward to help us with good will—and dollars. It is this last group that believed in Russia's power to regenerate its economic life who are now be ing rewarded through the profits of the first branch of Russian in dustry to pay a dividend to a for eign corporation composed of a large number of working class in vestors.

Steinmetz, elec trical wizard, one of the officers of the "RAIC" pointed out, was a hear ty supporter of Russia and of the Russian-American enterprise, having twice made subscriptions to the stock of the corporation amounting to sev eral hundred dollars. Subscriptions for the remainder of the first million dollars' worth of stock, stipulated in the agreement be tween the corporation and the Soviet authorities, are being received by President Hillman at the offices of the Corporation, sales having been greatly stimulated since the announce ment of the first dividend.
