Two long-established American
Jewish organizations, the United
Labor Zionist Organization of
America and the Farband Labor
Zionist Orders, have moved from
recurrent discussions over the
years about the desirability of a
merger to specific steps in recent
months to bring it about.
A basic formula and a proposed
structure for the unified organi-
zation have been approved in
principle by the national executive
committee of Farband and the
central committees of the LZOA.
Both organizations have reschedul-
ed their national conventions to
meet in Monticello next Decem-
ber at the same hotel.
They will meet separately at
first and then, assuming each
convention approves conditions for
the merger, the delegates will
meet in a single convention of
the merged groups.
Representatives of the two or-
ganizations — both with deep
roots in the early stages of the
great post-World War I Jewish
migration to the United States—
have been meeting regularly for
months in merger discussions,
the Jewish Telegraphic Agency
was told.
It was agreed that unification
would result in consolidation of
staff, finances and human re-
sources, as the basis of a more
effective concentration on "spe-
cific areas of Labor Zionist con-
cern, as well as to undertake a
more comprehensive program of
community action," according to
a joint statement to the JTA.
Under the proposed merger, the
JTA was told, Farband will con-
tinue its fraternal activities, but
a subdivision would be created
for "community action" to be con-
ducted mainly by the former LZOA
members. In this way, it was in-
dicated, the work of the two
groups would be maintaind in their
respective fields.
Jacob Katzman, general secre-
tary of Farband, told the JTA
there had been "a considerable
coming together" of the two or-
ganizations in recent years, cap-
ped by creation of a joint coordi-
nating comittee.
He told the JTA that the ex-
ecutive board of the American
Habonim Association, an alumni
group of the Labor Zionist
movement, had approved a bid
to join the proposed merged or-
organization and that the bid
would be voted on during the
December national conclaves.
Pioneer Women's organization
in the United States, while un-
changed in its status at the
women's -branch of American La-
bor Zionism, is not involved in the
unification.
