LARGE GAIN IN
1925 BUSINESS

Banks have established the fact
that real estate mortgage loans are
the safest and highest yielding type
of investment.
The investing public will find In
formation of much interest In the
report of the Savings Bank Asso-
citation of New York State Just
made public which indicates the
recognition of the desirabiiity Of
real estate investments on the part
of banks. This report shows that
149 savings banks of the state had
SO, 1854 ,283,81 invested in mortgages
on January 1. This is a gain of
1914 .S83,236 or 1914 per cent during
the year of 1925
The Associations statistics fur
ther show that this amount loaned
on bond and mortgage by the saw
ings banks constitutes an average
of 59.5 per cent on their assets,
The gain for the year represents
practically the whole of the, years
increase in deposits which amounted
to 25S,000,000. While savings de-
posts have increased 70 per cent
since 1913, mortgage loans have in
creased 100 per cent.
Viewed as Logical Investment
savings bank mortgage loan is
a conservative loan." says the re-
port. During the postwar years
when values have been so largely
inflated It has been the consistent
policy of savings banks to make
loans up to approximately so per
cent of their own appraised value.
This would figure at about so per
cent of the present day value"
Just as the real estate bond has
made itself attractive to the invest
ing public, the mortgage loan las
been accepted as the logical invest
ment by banks, which are known
for their conservative investment
policies.
Banks throughout the country
will undoubtedly, during the next
few years also deal more extern
sively in the distribution Of real
estate mortgage bonds because OF
their many advantages. In the
actual work OF distributing these
bonds. banks will discover that they
are accorded an unusually fortu
nate position where their margin
of profit will be increased. There
are also collateral advantages to
be added, such as the bank as a
depository by the underwriting
house in connection with new
mortgage loans in the vicinity, and
other similar arrangements grow
ing out of natural business inter-
course.
No Restriction is Placed
At the present time, state banks
and trust companies can deal in
real estate bonds almost without
restriction. !, National banks handled
them on a restricted basis. Because
of the growing demand for the
more liberal privilege of investing
in real estate mortgages, Congress
has just enacted the new McFad-
den Banking Act, which win give
national banks q, considerably
greater latitude in the handling Of
this type OF investment, both as an
underwater and purchaser of realty
securities.
The remarkable change in the
traditional attitude in banking and
supervisory circles toward real
estate bonds, is indicated in an
address before a convention of
bankers by A. F. Dawson, presi-
dent Of the First National Bank of
Davenport, Iowa. who emphasized
the inherent soundness and safety
of first mortgages secured by land
and buildings. He said:

BY LEO MARI and DAVE RAPPo.

The New York painters are at this
moment in an extremely critical con-
dition. Nothing is being done by the
district council to remedy the vicious
conditions of the trade, with the
speed-up system, graft and clique
favoritism that is now rife.
Since Thomas Wright, the present
day secretary of the council, was
elected the Zausner clique, which is
still in the majority in the council,
is doing everything in its power to
throw him out Of the office. Every
progressive move of Wright and his
supporters is being sabotaged by the
Zausner gang. No trade matters, no
organizational questions are being
taken up. The organization is now
in a ruinous condition.
The leader Of these grafters in the
union is the socialist, Silverman. So
open was he in his treachery to the
members that the progressives called
him to an open discussion before the
membership of Local 905, at a spe-
eial meeting on June 10. Kosloff and
Matzlin, Of the council made the fol-
lowing charges against Silvsrman,
and challenged him to deny them: ~
That Silverman knew all about the
pilfering of the treasury in the dis
trict council, but said nothing; (2)
When the robberies were discovered,
Silverman did nothing to expose them
but on the contrary, when the report
of the accountant was made, and some
of the crooks arrested, Ire came out
openly in their defense at the meet
ings of the council. At one Of the
meetings he even demanded that the
council pay the 1888 bonds necessary

meeting in square facing The

paper. but were notified at the last
moment by the CHIEF Of police that
this would not be permitted The
chief stated that a number Of per-
sons had protested at the meeting
being held. that It might interfere
with traffic and further, since Gov
ernor Fuller had appointed a COM
mission, there was no reason in his
opinion why the meeting should be
held. Mayor Bertha Landes agreed
on this last point.
Carl Brannin. chairman Of the Con-
ference pointed out that every after
noon Times Square is jammed with
crowds watching the baseball scores
and that those desiring the meeting
had right to keep the issue alive
in spite of the opposition Of certain
individuals who might be disposed to
set themselves up as censors. It was
finally agreed that the meeting could
be held one block north on a side
street, where the Times would not
be contaminated.
Resolutions were adopted calling
for the unconditional release of the
two workers and for the punishment
Of all parties guilty Of the crime Of
keeping them in prison all these
years.
