- Date stamp is presumably when it was received. Conference was to be in October. The call has a last-minute feel about it. The dates are corrected from the 11th and 12th to the 10th and 11th, and recipients are given hasty instructions on obtaining credentials. Flier notes that Conference will be held in the Hotel Diplomat 108 West 43rd Street, New York City. ICOR (IKOR) started in March 1928 after the establishment of Birobidzhan as the Jewish Autonomous Region in the USSR for “working” Jews. ICOR was known as the Association for Jewish Colonization in the Soviet Union, Gezelshaft far Yiddishe Kolonizatyse in Ratn-Farband, and published Neileben. ICOR is associated with Chaim Zhitlowsky among others. Letterhead describeds ICOR as "ICOR Association for Information on the Economic, Cultural, and Social Life of the Jews the World Over"
- 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.
