Joseph Weinberg, fifty-seven year old president of the Workmen’s Circle, visited this city last week, addressed a mass meeting and attended a banquet of the local branch of the organization.
When he is not directing the affairs of the Workmen’s Circle which has a membership of about 60,000, and 700 branches, Mr. Weinberg is advertising salesman for a New York City Yiddish daily.
He stands for the boycott, upholds Yiddish as “the true language of Israel” because he says more than six million persons speak the language, and thinks that his trip is “the hardest work I’ve done in a long time because I’ve already made eighty speeches.”
