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.

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.

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

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.

is on a sound and business like basis,
but that Russian industries generally
can "deliver the goods," some of them
have reached a productivity higher
than that prevailing before the w r ar
and the revoluitonary struggles.
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.

demonstrated. W 7 hen we organiz

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

The late Chas. P. Steinmetz, elec

the "RAIC" pointed out, was a hear

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.
