History of Movement
Workmen's Circle was founded
in early 1890's by Jewish im-
migrants from Eastern Europe.
Oppressed by Czarist tyranny and
schooled in the Hebrew philos-
ophy of justice and liberalism,
many immigrant groups in New
York's East Side joined, during
this sweat-shop era, into mutual
aid societies which were designed
to cushion their members against
the costly impact of sickness and
burial expenses. These small, iso-
lated groups were the forerunners
of the Workmen's Circle.
Unschooled though these people
were in business methods, they
lifted their loosely knit societies
into an integrated and financially
secure fraternal insurance order,
incorporated under the laws of
New York State, gained in
strength and prestige, grew in
numbers until the Workmen's
Circle encompassed nearly every
state and most of the provinces
of Canada.
English Branches
Although the Workmen's Cir-
cle is still predominantly Yiddish
speaking, its English speaking
branches have developed to such
a degree that for the first time, a
national conference of these
branches has been scheduled in
Connection with the ,convention.
Approximately 100 of these
branches will be represented at
the sessions which will be held
on May ? and 4, at the Work-
Men's Circle Educational Center,
11529 Linwood. Hosts to this
- conference will be the Emila Zola
Branch (460-E) of the Workmen's
Circle, the youth and English
speaking branch in Detroit.
Chairman of the convention ar-
rangements committee in Detroit
is Joseph Bernstein, manager of
the local office of the Jewish
Daily Forward and active leader
in community affairs and organ-
izations.

Men, Women Groups
of Jewish Congress
To Meet Wednesday

A joint dinner meeting of the
Men's Business and Professional
Group. and Women's Division of
the American Jewish Congress

last week, said he expected the
Anglo-American inquiry commit-
tee to issue majority and minority
reports. He emphasized that re-
gardless of the decision of the
committee, the Jews in Palestine
were determined to continue im-
migration by all means at their
command.
Speaking at a press conference
arranged by the United Palestine
Appeal, Klinoff said he believed
the majority report would be anti-
Zionist, while the minority - would
probably be favorable. He said
the English members of the com-
mittee were _particularly interest-
ed in the presentation of a united
report.
