WORKERS BEING WARNED Better Business Bureau to Advise Employes as to Investments. With the slogan "Before you in vent investigate." the better business bureau of the Portland Ad club is conducting a campaign among- the factory and mill workers, and other employes of Portland to educate them to the methods, used by salesmen of stock in questionable enterprises. Ac cording to a number of the employers, the working-men of Portland are being preyed upon by these salesmen to a startling extent; they are buying stock not only in many enterprises of a highly speculative nature, but in many that are being offered in viola tion of the Oregon blue eky laws. As a part of the campaign the bet ter business bureau is sending out bulletins to be posted in the shops showing how these "fly-by-night" schemes are worked and warning the prospective investors against buying any stock until they are thoroughly conversant with the personnel and the proposition offered. In this bulletin the services of the better business bureau for a fair and impartial investigation of any stock schemes, are offered to the investor and it is expected that within a short time many questionable stock promotions will be brought to the at tention of the bureau.

Use of Segotiable Securities Is De clared Objectionable to Local Financiers. Bankers in Portland have begun working to obtain an amendment to present city laws to make possible the use of surety bonds as collateral for municipal funds instead of the negotiable securities now required, according to announcement yesterday by S. C. Pier, commissioner of finance. It is believed that all bankers in the city and several large bonding houses favor such a change. Records at the city hall show that banks in corre spondence with City Treasurer Adams on the subject include the United States National bank, the First Na-. tional bank and the State Bank of Portland. City Commissioner Pier said yes terday ' that a careful investigation had been made of the subject and that informally the council was inclined to frown on the scheme. Those in favor of the plan explain that certain de partments in the federal government and in the state of Oregon accept surety bonds for protection on deposit of funds. Likewise, it is said that many cities throughout the United States accept surey bonds in lieu of negotiable securities. Bankers favored the change in order that negotiable securities neces sary now for collateral for city funds might be utilized in other enterprises. They explained- that the bonds of the surety companies would come before the city authorities for approval Co fore acceptance, and that no loss would be entailed under any condi tions. Individual members of the council, however, intimated their .belief that the present plan of accepting only negotiable securities is the only safe plan and a course which should Do continued.

"In the south there are millions of bushels of wheat awaiting export, and oil wells have been running unchecked so long that they have had to bank them up and form lakes of oil." "There is 1,000,000 worth of timber lying at Archangel and other ports on the White Sea." The Siberian seaboard contains "probably the world's greatest undeveloped coal and oil deposits, with the fishing off coast equal to that of Alaska." " ' While it is all very well, agree some American editors, for the Soviet Government to open the doors of the Muscovite treasure-house, what- if the treasure-house is empty? And, refer ring to the British trade agreement with Soviet Russia, recently announced by Premier Lloyd George, the New York Tribune declares that "to take Lenine and his system into fellowship is to abandon those in Russia who fought for civilization and democratic ideals." Facts that will awaken mingled feelings of wonder, resentment, and satisfaction are pre sented in the striking article in this week's number of THE LITERARY DIGEST, December 4th.
