New York, N. Y.—A preliminary
report by the committee of the Ameri
can Jewish Congress studying discrimi
nation in New York against the em
ployment of Jews states that it has
established “that a considerable degree
of discrimination exists in the employ
ment market of New York City, inten
sified by the present general depres
sion. Unless definite steps are taken
by a representative Jewish body, it
will become increasingly difficult for
Jewish persons to find employment.”
The committee adds that investigation
shows that part of the discrimination
is due to a prejudiced attitude held by
the manager and subordinates of com
mercial employment agencies. The re
port goes on to say that an inquiry into
the legal aspects of such discrimination
by municipally licensed bodies is now
being pursued.
The committee makes three sugges
tions for relieving the situation: the
committee should negotiate with cor
porations that practice discrimination;
the creation of a bureau of Research
within the Congress, which would give
full time to investigation of discrimina
tion ; “the committee feels that either
an employment agency should be creat
ed or an existing one subsidized which
will, without discrimination, favor Jew
ish applicants.”
New York, N. Y—Because of the
great number of Jewish holidays that
occurred during the past year the New
York Board of Education will lose
$500,000 in the State appropriations
granted to the city school system, it
has been learned. The State gives 29
cents a day for every pupil that at
tends school. The appropriation is cut
in accordance with the number of ab-
scences. Jewish children who absent
themselves on Rosh Hashanah and
Yom Kippur and other holidays cost
the city $500,000. In making this report
Superintendent O'Shea declared, ‘ 1C) w-
ever, that the school system should
not attempt to reduce absence that is
justifiable in every respect.”
New York—Declaring that Commu
nist forces have been allowed too long
to spread their philosophy among the
Jewish working masses of this country,
a group of Jewish labor leaders have
organized the American Society o
anti-Communist Jewish Workers. T e
object of the group is to counteract
Communist influence and propaganda
among foreign-born Jewish workers
Communist influence was characterized
by the new society as “a barbaric force,
threatening the safety of American
Jewry.”
