(Jewish Telegraphic Agency)

A committee to study the history of the Jewish labor movement in Russia has been organized by the Society of Former Political Exiles. It includes about thirty members, all of them active workers for many years in the Jewish labor movement.

Investigations will be conducted into the Jewish labor movement in Russia from the seventies, to the overthrow of the Czarist regime in February 1917. A bibliography will be compiled embracing the entire revolutionary periodical and other literature published in the period and the proclamations and leaflets issued by all Socialist and Revolutionary parties, Jewish and non-Jewish, which carried on activities among the Jewish workers.

A special volume will be issued dealing with the Jewish labor movement from the seventies to the nineties, consisting of memoirs, articles, documents and surveys.
