The importance of organized
labor to the American Jewish
community was the theme of the
talk delivered last Wednesday at
the Tuller Hotel to the commun-
ity relations committee of the
Jewish CoMmunity Council by
Emanuel Muravchick, field direc-
tor of the Jewish Labor Com-
mittee.
Muravchick pointed out that,
while there are only about 750,-
000 Jews in unions in this coun-
try, organized labor as a whole
is compelled by its own interests
to take positions on many issues
which are the same as the posi-
tions taken by Jewish groups.
The talk was one of a series in
which the community relations
committee invites leaders of na-
tional Jewish organizations to
discuss work being done in com-
munity relations. The next meet-
ing will be held Jan. 12, with
Benjamin Epstein, national direc-
tor of the Anti-Defamation Lea-
gue of Bnai Brith, as speaker,
Harry Yudkoff, committee chair-
man, ' announced.
