Briefs - Description:
- 34 pages. United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. No. 11,671. Brief for Appellant International Workers Order v. James P. McGranery, Attorney General. Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Columbia for denial of preliminary injunction entered November 25, 1952. The appeal is based on a ruling concerning whether a fraternal insurance company may maintain an action to review an intermediate step in the government's employee loyalty program on the ground that its constitutional rights were thereby invaded. The appeal is based on the original November 1947 listing by the Attorney General's office (then under Tom Clark) of the International Workers Order as a subversive organization on AGLOSO (Attorney General's List of Subversive Organizations) on December 5, 1947. The [Red] List was created due to the Federal Loyalty program (Truman Executive Order 9835) and was formally published in March, 1948.
- Note:
- 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.
