Ochs, publisher leader ^ ork Times and national and Jewish communal 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.” Sears.
