GARMENT UNION
BEGINS TRANSFER
OF ARAIG" SHARES
Workers Turn Them Over
For Save Union" Bends

The first call by the Joint Board
OF the cloak and dress makers for
the exchange of Russian American
Industrial Corporation shares for the
Save the Union" bond issue Of the
Joint Board, resulted in the exchang-
ing of rs shares for bonds in the first
day of the call, julius Portnoy, man
ager of the bond issue, announced
yesterday.
MANY workers have written us ex-
pressing their approval of this plan
by which workers who hold these
shares may turn them over to the
Joint Board at their face value as if
they were cash, and receive the in
terest bearing bonds,' he said. "This
gives workers who have not any
cash to invest, a chance to partici-
pate in the bond issue by simply
turning in these shares. The receipt
of $3.50 worth Of shares on the first
day proves that the plan will be q
popular one"
Glad to Use.
II am glad to put my shares to
this good use," wrote B. Levine, a
worker of Jamaica Plains, Mass, ia
letter to Portnoy in which he asked
to trade the shares for the bonds
that will "save the union from the
traitors"
Philadelphia has taken first rank
among the cities as being most ef-
ficient in organization for the sale
of the bonds, according to Mr.. Port
noy. That city, in charge of Anna
Litvakoff, is sending in money at the
rate of $3.50 day, he said. Several
large mass meetings have been ar
ranged there.
More Finances.
Large additional sums for the pur-
chase of bonds have been received
from Miami, Toledo, st. Louis, Cleve-
land and Rochester In the latter city
the Jewish Workers Club sent 500
with the assurance 1--WE are in the
fight to the end. Keep it up until
you succeed in defeating the traitors
in the workers movement"
The compositors of the Freiheit of
New York have raised an initial sum
of $500 among themselves and will
subscribe further. The Workmen's
Circles are continuing TO contribute
heavily Branch $3.50 has sent 500
from its treasury and $10O from it's
Mutual Loan Association, Branch 234

CURRENT EVENTS

abroad were not considered satisfac
tory by foreign commercial houses.
The gold was guarantee that Rus
sia's bill in England would be paid.
Now the Soviet Unions credit is so
high that there is no longer any need
for this gold to lie stored away in
the Bank Of England. 1t can be used
for building more factories in Russia
or more houses for the workingclass.
Another fable conceived by Mr..
Casson is that a trade union conven
ton voted four to one to repudiate
Cook and all general strikes and
revolutionary movements. The vote
was two to one in support of the ac-
ton Of the right wing leaders in
calling off the general strike. Cook
was not repudiated by the rank and
file. He is still secretary Of a union
with membership of over one mil
lion And on the very day this rub
bish appears in the Evening Post, all
the New York papers carry reports
of big mass meeting in Albert Hall,
London, where James Maxim, chair
man Of the Independent Labor Party,
and moderate socialist called on the
workers to refuse to manufacture
munitions for the war against China.
Maxton was forced to come out with
this language because of the OPP
position of the working millions to
the war.
This does not look as if the "reds"
were being scorned as Mr.. Casson
would have us believe. He claims
that England is prosperous but does
not explain the existence Of an I'M
employed army of 100000 Pros
perity and unemployment do not
make agreeable bed-mates. He says
that the mass of the people were
never better fed, better clothed or as
we'll housed. This he finds mysteri-
Gus considering the financial position
of England as whole" Yes, it is
mysterious to those who do not know
that British prosperity is myth and
that Casson and his kind are damned
liars.
MR.. Arthur Ponsonby, member Of
1N1 the British Labor Party deliver
ed a pacifist lecture here last Sun

futile, which is so much bunk The
revolutionary war now being waged
by the Cantonese is not futile. Meth
Ell was the war that smashed the
power of the ruling classes in Russia
and defeated the Intervention of the
imperialists. Ponsonby's program is
futile 1t lulls the worldngelass into
a false sleep, while the enemy is per-
petually forging new chains for them
War is terrible and horrible but since
we are bound to have wars as long
as capitalism exists and it is a GER

surrender their power without a
struggle, there is no alternative to a
battle between the exploited and the
exploiters. If there is we await

EVERYMAN'S
INVESTMENTS
By GEORGE T. HUGHES.


Before we learn the subject there
are a few things to be said about life
insurance. In the first place it Is
safe as far as any human institution
can be safe. There is no way of
predicting the time of any one in
dividual's death, but the averages
make no mistake. TIE insurance
company sets aside sum sufficient
to care for a policy when it natures
on the basis of these averages. Per-
haps that is not the way the actuary,
the expert who attends to the neces-
sary computations, would put it. but
it Is near enough for the man in the
street.
An insurance policy fulfills its pri-
mary purpose of protection infallibly
In the second place the insurance COM
pany invests it's funds more skillfully
than any other financial institution
and l do not even except banks. On
this point l can speak authoritative.
ly. The men who buy the bonds for
the insurance companies are the best
judges of values in the business.
When you add to this the fact that
the enormous sums the larger insur-
ance companies have to invest make
the widest kind of Investigation pos.
sible it is easy to see why there is
no risk attached to insurance as far
as security of capital is concerned.
Thirdly, insurance has stood the test
of time. In the investment business
we judge securities in large measure
on their record over.a period of years
md applying this rule to insurance the
result inspires entire confidence. /
suppose all my readers except pos
sibly the insurance experts who can
pick technical flaws, will agree with
the argument so far. Yet is is just as
probable that not one in a hundred
will take any action on his own &C.
count unless some insurance agent
gives him the initiative.
I am well aware that a good many of
these agents are unpleas antly aggres-
sive and sometimes excessively annoy
ing. Still they seem to occupy a place
in the economic order that no one
else can take.

TOKIO.-Though the total as
sets of the Kawasaki Dock Yard
Co., which was seriously involved in
the recent Japanese bank crisis, were
above $250,000, 900. because of the pres
ent situation the company's assets
are valued at not more than $75,.
100000.
This is the finding resulting from
the investigation of the Japanese
Navy Department into the general
business condition Of the Kawasaki
interests, as announced by the Toxic
newspaper, Asahi Shimbun.
The authorities say that as matters
now stand the only way to rescue the
company is to transfer the majority
Of it's stock to the Mitsui, or other big
banking institution. The Mitsui peo-
pie, however, are disinclined to as
sumo the responsibilities of the bust
ness in view of the irregular circum.
stances surrounding the Kawasaki
company. Nevertheless, the govern
ment officials are endeavoring to in
duce the Mitsuis to take over the
shipbuilding s7ction of the Kawasakis.
