Labor - Description:
- Trade Union Committee for Tanks and Airplanes. "Russia calls, America answers." Address, bottom of page nine is of Morris Muster, president, United Furniture Workers. Long list of contributors with their titles and union affiliations. The brochure is part of the IWO/JPFO's war effort campaign to buy Jewishly named tanks for the Soviet Union to support the appeal made by the Jewish Anti-Fascist Committee of the USSR (JAFC).
- 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.
