C. I. O. .CONVENTION CHEERS RABBI
WISE’S CALL TO LABOR TO COMBAT
ANTI-SEMITISM IN U* S.
ATLANTIC CITY, (JTA) - Anti-semitism
is a challenge to democracy and therefore it is
also a problem to the American way of life and
especially to organized labor, Dr. Stephen S.
Wise told the C. I. O. convention. He urged
Amercan labor to combat the anti-Semitic
efforts in ths country.
Interupted often by applause, Dr. Wise re¬
minded the convention that anti-Semitism in
Germany was the forerunner of anti-labor
action by the Nazis. “Let us not forget that anti
Semitism was the winning election slogan of
Nazism and that as soon as the Nazis won, they
struck down first of all labor unions, robbed
them of their funds .imprisoned or slew their
leaders,” he said.
