Jewish Lodges - Description:
- Letter to Rubin Saltzman inquiring as to whether the IWO is chartered to sell insurance in Arizona or if other types of lodge types of activities are possible. The letterwriter Isaac Bloom, is a "charter member" of the I.W.O from Springfield MA. He notes that Russian Relief is now closing in Tuscon despite having attracted 500 people to a successful event the previous month and that a lack of ensuing JPFO activity would result in "the only common front for social activity - card playing." Bloom is a Polish born Yiddish author
- 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.
