use. RAIC SHARES
TO DEFEND union
AGAINST SIGMAN
Jailed Workers Helped
by Growing Loan Fund

Workers holding shares in the Rus
sian-American Industrial corporation
(RAIC) have found a way to turn
these to good use in behalf Of the pro-
gressive cloakmakers, so the bond
committee announced yesterday.
The response to the drive for a
$250,000 loan fund to carry on the
fight against the traitors in the I. l..
G. w. u, has been splendid so far;
but it does not satisfy the workers
who are determined to beat Sigman
and his gang who have put 10 cloak
makers behind prison bars.
Shares Worth Money.
Workmen's Circle, Branch SIG, dis
covered that shares in RAIC could be
assigned to the bond committee and
so be of real service at this crucial
moment in the affairs of the cloak
makers. They turned over shares,
totaling $50. Other workers are
planning to follow their example, and
many organizations too will find this
new way Of helping the progressive
forces in the /. L. G. w. u at this
time when the fate of 10000 cloak
and dressmakers is hanging in the
balance.
Sigman The Traitor.
"Due to the facist tactics of Sig
man., says the bond committee, "And
due to his betrayal of the strike and
the strikers; due to the insinuations
and despicable accusations made by
Sigman and his organ against the
pickets, nineteen devoted members of
the cloakmakers union have been put
behind bars for the longest terms
strikers were ever sentenced IN this
city.
To Care For Families.
THE yellow traitors may now
triumph since this is what they want
ed. But those who We're sentenced,
their wives and their children must
be given every possible assistance.
The same must also be given to those
still waiting to hear their fate. Sig
man must be beaten; the union must
be saved-and for this the full
amount of the $250,000 loan must be
raised"
Shares in the Russian-American In
dustrial corporation are as good as
cash and individuals and organi-
cations can assign them to the loan
committee by signing as follows:
Individuals sign Il hereby assign
this share to Mr.. julius Portnoy, 16
West 21st Street, New York" Or
CARNATIONS should take the matter up
at a meeting and pass a resolution
voting to assign their shares to the
loan committee. These should be in
scribed, on the reverse side of the
share, "At a meeting held on Gill
in date) it was decided to assign this
share to Mr.. julius Portnoy, 16 West
21st Street.

LAKE CHAMPAIGN BRIDGE

Nermont's legislature, which has

notable achievement that paves the
way for an improvement that will
affect the convenience of residents
Of many other states. This refers, of
course. to the passage Of a bill au-
thorizing cooperation with the state
Of New York in the construction of
bridge across Lake Champlain.
Lake Champlaln has been a bar
rier to the free Intercourse of motor
lists between nolhern New England
and northern New York. In order to
pass it wide detours or slow and ey-
pcnsive ferry trips have been neces-
sary.

able tourists to leave he state too
easily. But who in the world would
want to turn toward New York when

CAUTION NECESSARY

| The bill in the legislature seeking

be handled with caution. The bill
would give the right to sell power
and water produced in Connecticut

water. gas and electricity from other
states. \ suspicious feature is that
the bin was not advertised before
the legislature convened, giving to
nobody chance 10 become thor
oughly familiar with It.
That is not saying, however, that
the bill may not have good features
provided they become more gcncr-
ally known. or there is time to in
vcstigate before taking action. 1t is
claimed that the corporation, If
formed, would be able to bring in
hydro electric power from other
parts Of New England and from
Canada at rates offering competition
10 the present electric interests. For
one thing, this will nightly inter-.
est the Connecticut Light {, Power
company if that concern is not in
some way indirectly linked up with
the scheme.

bill are peculiar. The corporation

great enough to command close
scrutiny before action Of any kind
is taken, to say the least.
