Perhaps the most astonishing fea-
ture of the whole tabulation is the
astoundingly small percentage of
funds invested in government bonds.
"All governments" are shown as ac-
counting for only "a per cent of the
funds in securities. The word call"
may indicate money in government
securities other than United States
government bonds. There have been,
as some of our best bankers know,
such things as Peruvian bonds and
other stray cats in the backyard of
finance. And the bankers who put
over those wayfaring securities loom
powerful on the directorates of insur-
ance companies. But with United
States government bonds the best
available securities in the whole mar
ket, legal reserve life insurance COM
panies, using the peoples money, op-
Grating as the safeguards of the peo-
pie, holding what should be the most
sacred of all trusteeships, have but 8.4
per cent of their securities portfolios

30-HOur Week Would Make
More Jobs in This Factory

Hudson, Mass.-The Hudson Wor-
sted Co. announced it was operating
on three eight hour shifts daily to
take care of seasonal orders.
This eight hour shift policy shows
what the federal thirty-hour week bill
now before congress would do for the
tens of thousands of jobless men in
the textile industry.
Were the bill a law, the Hudson
Worsted Co. would have to substitute
four six-hour shifts for its three
eight-hour shifts, thus increasing the
number of employees 25 per cent.

New York City (ILNS)-In one
article calculated to create an i'm
preston of renewed strength and
vitality in the great life insurance
companies, William A. Burrage, Met
ropolitan Life Insurance Company
economist, reveals what many econo-
mists regard as an astounding weak
ness
Burrage's explanation of the life
insurance situation in the field of the
great companies, was published in the
Times.
Economist Burrage analyses the in
vestment classification in an effort
to show that all is we'll along the
insurance front He sets forth that
36.8 per cent Of life insurance hold
ings are invested in what the popu-
lace still term securities from force
of habit. The classifcations are as
follows:
Rails ..................................
Public utilities ................... $3.50
All governments .................. $40
Other securities ................... 3.296
All securities .................36.8%o
An idea of the enormous holdings
Of the big life insurance companies is
found in the fact that legal reserve
companies hold S1,800,000,000 in farm
mortgages, these constituting S.5 per
cent of the companies total assets.
These companies hold $4,000, 900, 900 in
mortgages on town and city property.
What the Burrage article does not re-
veal is that in this enormous figure,
275 per cent of insurane company
assets, is invested in great group
of metropolitan New York monu-
mental structures, of the Radio City
and Empire State building type, and
that it includes such properties as
hotels and other office buildings, some
of which the companies have had to
take over and operate to prevent
total loss.
City Property Badly Deprecated
In two such buildings one company
has OO,OOO,OO0, on which it is said
to contemplate perpetual losses.
The fact is, while rural property
has deprecated tremendously, it is
doubtful whether it is any more "shoe
to pieces" than the monumental ur-
ban type of property in which mil
lions of life insurance money is in
vested. This money is the income
from millions of policies on which
wage earners are paying premiums
to provide family safety at some fu
ture date.
But the security" portfolio re-
quires a treatment different from that
given it by Economist Burrage. Of
the total, 1916 per cent is in rails and
there are plenty of authorities who
