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.
