The Jewish Problem in the American Trade Union Press, April 1948: A Study Prepared for the Jewish Labor Committee

New York: Jewish Labor Committee, 1948. One of an unknown number of reports prepared by the American Labor Archive and Research Institute for the Jewish Labor Committee between approximately 1944-1948. The reports were based on exhaustive reading of the labor press to assess the labor movement's views on Jews and anti-Semitism, Palestine/Israel, native fascism and the Ku Klu Klan, discrimination, immigration/xenophobia, etc. This report for April, 1948 begins with general remarks by the compiler followed by the various sections: "In Behalf of Jews," "The Problem of Palestine," "The Evils of Discrimination," "Displaced Persons and Immigration," "Cartoons and Brotherhood," "Fair Employment Practices," "In Behalf of Negroes," "The Jewish Press," "The Negro Press," "The Catholic Press," "References to the Jewish Labor Committee," and "Reports from 'Labor Reports."

We've handled three previous reports, all with the same contributor names as appear on this one: Boris L. Nicolaevsky, Director, Anna M. Bourguina, Executive Secretary, and Elliott S. Shapiro, Research. Very few copies of any of the reports appear to have survived. Examples for 1947 appear in the Edward S. Goldstein: Jewish Labor Committee Research Files at the Tamiment, but only UPenn has any reports in OCLC (not this one).
