Jewish Lodges - Description:
- Postcard. Translated Summary: Requests answers to two questions. 1. Does a branch have the right to tax its members without calling a special meeting of all members by registered mail? 2. Is the fiftieth birthday celebration for the president a sufficiently important need to tax members $6.88 per ticket? Rubin Saltzman replied on December 20th, 1946.
- Notes:
- The Jewish People’s Fraternal Order was the largest ‘national’ section of the International Workers Order (IWO) which focused on cultural awareness and celebration, mutual support especially in health insurance coverage, and anti-fascist activities. The IWO also gave particular emphasis to supporting the rights and interests of African Americans.
