FIRST DIVIDENT
OUT OF RUSSIA

That one important branch of
Russian industry is operating very
profitably was brought to light this
week when the Russian American In
dustrial Corporation of 1O3 +. 18th
Street., 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 the
"RAIC," was launched by the Anal
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 adj
vanced several hundred thousand dol
lars to the All-Russian Clothing Syn
dictate Inc, Russian Government
syndicate operating % clothing fac
tories of all sorts employing $4,000
workers) and 25 retail stores. The
Syndicate is able, six months after
the first investment by the Ameri-
can corporation, to pay 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.
STATUS OF "RAIC"
The RAIC is duly incorporated as
an American company under the laws
of the State of Delaware, it's charter
providing for an authorized capital
stock of S1,O00,000.00, divided into
100000 shares of a par value of $40.
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. The RAIC
agreement with the highest Russian
authorities secures its capital invest
ment in Russian industry and guaran-
tees also a dividend to the corpora
ton of per cent per annum. This
is considered to be one of the most
favorable concessions granted by the
Soviet Government to any foreign
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 has been due chiefly
to the expansion of the Russian civil
liam trade, as no clothes are manufac-
tured for export, and the satisfactory
sales at the Big Russian Fairs at
Mimi 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 S4,OO0,0OO.OO. B. Bog
cate, is a former member of the Am
AGGRAVATED Clothing Workers of Amer
lea and man thoroughly skilled ir
the technique of the clothing indus

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 Leavenworth and
on his way to his own country He
may thank the Mexican government
for his freedom, since it has been &C
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.

President HiIIman's Comment.

In announcing the dividend, the di-
rectors of the "RAIC" stated that
this act would serve to prove to
doubling Americans not only that one
branch Of industry in Soviet Russia
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 war
and the revolutionary 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 CRAIG" had never
doubted the substantial advantages Of
their investment in the efficiently
managed Russian Syndicate.
"The success of our invest
ment in Russia's rehabilitation"
stated Mr.. HilIman, els now fully
demonstrated. When we organic
ed our corporation to help Russia
industrially some folks laughed
at us, some called us Missionaries,
but other stepped forward to help
us with good willard dollars.
1t 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 dividend to a for
eign corporation composed of a
large number of working class in
YestOrs."
DIR. STEINMETZ STOCKHOLDERS
The late Chas. P. Steinmetz, cleo
trical wizard, one of the officers of
the "RAIC" pointed out, was hear
ty supporter of Russia and of the
! Russian-American enterprise, having
twice made subscriptions to the stock
of the corporation amounting to sew
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 beer
greatly stimulated since the announce
ment of the first dividend.

London Letter
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, analysed, 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. J..
Many Of the schemes are simply on
paper.
The government admits that if
carried out to the full its plan would
only touch the fringe of the problem,
and falls back on its old panacea for
observation-disclosures emigration
to the dominions and colonies.
The number of unemployed on the
registers is now 1921 900; 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 voorhees,
men and women. This is an increase
of 5000 in one week.
X y
The miners, suffering from a wage
agreement they We're starved into ac-
cepting two years ago, are engaged
in 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 mems favor
They even threatn to alter it against
the miners. So averse are the union
officials to push matters to an eX-
tremity 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
fetal announcement that the cost Of
living has just gone up four points
adds to the significance of the indus
trial situation.
In spite of the tendency of the I'm
perial conference, sitting in London
