Description:
George Starr writes to Isaac Bloom to say that the JPFO is very interested in starting a lodge in Tuscon, Arizona that is either Yiddish or English speaking (a lodge already exists in Phoenix). This letter is a reply to Bloom's letter of December 2, 1946 to Rubin Saltzman. Bloom is a Polish born Yiddish author and charter I.W.O. member.
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.
