Jewish leaders throughout the country, prominent in philanthropy, educational and communal activities, welcomed the appearance of the Index to the “Jewish Daily Bulletin” for 1925, in communications addressed to the “Jewish Daily Bulletin.”
The preparation of the Index as a book of reference on Jewish events throughout the world, with data concerning men and affairs, was described as a valuable step in spreading Jewish knowledge and a contribution stimulating Jewish communal life.
David A. Brown, Nathan Straus, Alfred M. Cohen and Dr. Alexander M. Dushkin, Executive Director of the Jewish Education Committee, Chicago, are among those who have praised the Index.
“Only within the past day or so have I had an opportunity of looking over the Index of the ‘Jewish Daily Bulletin’ and take this opportunity of complimenting you and your organization in getting up so splendid a reference book on Jewish events for 1925,” David A. Brown wrote. “Our Mr. J. C. Hyman informs me that already he has made considerable use of the information contained therein and is able to save a great deal of time in the use of the Index.”
Nathan Straus commenting on the Index, writes: “The Index of the ‘Jewish Daily Bulletin’ serves a very useful purpose. It makes it possible readily to get information on important events in which one is interested.”
“I regard the Index as a marvelous assistance to one who wishes to keep zoreast of happenings in the Jewish world,” Alfred M. Cohen stated. “After a while we shall wonder how we were able to get along without something like the Index. After using it we shall deem it indispensable. American Jewry is very much indebted to you for this latest undertaking of yours.”
Dr. Dushkin writes: “The Index renders the valuable current history material contained in every issue of the ‘Bulletin’ more accessible to students of modern Jewish life, and I have no doubt that this and the future volumes of the Index will be used extensively.”
Publication of a call for a “National Conference of the Needle Trades Section of the Trade Union Educational League” here on Jan. 1 and 2, 1927, contains the proof that the Communist Party is in control of the policies of the cloakmakers general strike committee, according to a statement made by President Morris Sigman, of the International Ladies’ Garment Workers’ Union.
Mr. Sigman, commenting on the revolt of the rank and file of the cloakmakers’ union against the Left Wing and Communist leaders of the strike, declared the publication in “The Daily Worker”, a Chicago Communist daily newspaper, of the agenda of the forthcoming conference of the Trade Union Educational League, directed by W. Z. Foster, was a confession of Communist leadership that the “disastrous strike program was the child of Communist Party officials, or their near-relation, the Trade Union Education League.”
