A safe place for your funds SOVIET GO VERNMENT 7% Gold Bonds YOUR MONEY IS SAFE ‘These bonds are backed by the tremendous resources and im- mense wealth of the entire Soviet Union. In the 16 years of its existence, the Soviet Union has purchased more than $434 bil- lion of foreign equipment and materials—most of it through short or long term credits—yet as a result of its Socialist planned economy, it has met every payment promptly, YOU ARE PROTECTED FROM INFLATION These bonds are issued in units of 100 and 1000 gold roubles. Since they are based upon a fixed quantity of gold and are pay- able in American dollars at the prevailing rate of exchange; your funda are protected from any loss resulting from possible further depreciation of the dollar. As a matter of fact, Soviet Government gold bonds that were purchased a year ago have risen as much as 70% due to the reduction in the gold content of the dollar. YOUR MONEY IS READILY AVAILABLE The State Bank of the U. S. S. R., with a gold reserve in the note issue department of $704 million, guarantees to repur- chase these bonds on demand of the holder at their full gold value plus interest, at any time after one year from date of purchase. Should you desire to: convert all or part of your hold- ings into cash during the first year, this firm will upon request resell your bonds for you. YOU GET YOUR INTEREST QUARTERLY You receive your full interest on January Ist, April Ist, July payments in American dollars Ast and October 1st, by deposit- ing your coupons with the Chase National Bank of New York, which is the official paying agent, or with your own local bank.

After having been out on strike two weeks, the 350 workers at the plant were sent back to work by the National Labor Board and the cen- tral leadership of the Amalgamated Food Workers Union, having won nothing but a promise that strikers would not be discriminated against. Shortly afterward, several union men Were fired but the A.P.W. lead- ers did nothing at all. In order to break the organiza- tion of the rank and file against lay-offs, a wage increase of 25 per cent was given them two weeks ago. A conveyor belt has been installed which has cut the working time severely, from 44 to 35 hours a week, so that the “wage raise” does not increase the money in the envelopes of the workers by much, and now ten men have been fired as well.

He added that absolutely no provision has been made for work after May 1. There are now 17,000 workers on “work relief” projects in this city, according to William Connell, Phila- delphia director. The other 5.000 former CWA workers have been de- slared “ineligible” for work under the orders of Hopkins which stated that no person not on the relief rolls would be given work. Although 76,000 heads of families are on the | relief rolls in Philadelphia, only 17,000 were given jobs at wages low- er than CWA, and this number will be further reduced by the firing of 6,000 white collar workers.
