HISTORY OF JEWS

ARTICLE 59
Jewish Fraternal Orders
Order Kesher Shel Barzel
ORDER KESHER SHEL BARZEL (Iron Knot) was founded
T HE in New
York in 1860 and went out of existence in 1017. The order
was popular in Detroit for we find five lodges existing here between
1867 and 1904.
Michigan Lodge No. 1 was organized Nov. 8, 1867, the charter
members being Aaron Ackerland, Alexander Tannenholz, Harris Cohn,
Isaac Levy, Louis Sachs, Herman
Kretsh and Nathan Freundlich.
The object of the lodge is stated
in the Articles of Incorporation
as: "1. Mutual support of its
members or Lheir families in case
of need, in case of sickness, death
or otherwise. 2. Support of the
widows and orphans of deceased
members."

safeguards to guarantee the safe-
ty of . approximately 37,000 dis-
placed Jews in Austria were de-
manded by the American Jewish
Committee in a statement by Dr.
John Slawson, executive vice-presi-
dent, on the proposed withdrawal
of Allied troops from Austria, pur-
suant to the treaty under negoti-
ation in Moscow.
Before Allied troops leave a
country, Dr. Slawson said, "the
Jewish displaced persons now in
Austria, with the exception of a
small number who may apply for
citizenship, should be removed to
places of safety."
The DP's, he pointed out, will
not be safe in Austria because
"Austrian anti-Semitism is wide-
spread." Stressing the point that
he Austrian government's atti-
:ude is "equivocal," Dr. Slawson
:harged "its program on restitu-
ion of property to victims of
Vazi persecution causes grave
loubts as to the future."
The other four lodges were:
Bethel Lodge (organized in 1869), Hashomer Boys, Girls
Nathan Lodge (organized in 1874).
