Now, this Hebrew union movement is a part of the New York Kehillah. Jewish leaders have sought to counteract The Dearborn Independent’s account of Kehillah activities by saying that the Kehillah is such a little weak thing. Admittedly, however, the Jewish clothing trust and the Jewish garment workers’ unions are among the biggest and most powerful aggregations in the country. Not even a Jewish leader would have the temerity to deny that. Well, the Amalgamated Clothing Workers of America and the International Ladies’ Garment Workers’ Union are affiliated with the Kehillah.
More than that: this Kehillah, which Jewish spokesmen with cool contempt for truth would have the public believe was weak and unimportant—this same Kehillah, in its Executive Committee, constitutes The American Jewish Committee.
Is the American Jewish Committee a nonentity? Ask any President of the United States, any Senator or Governor.
The American Jewish Committee heads up in District No. 12—New York City—and the Committee for District No 12 is also the Executive Committee of the Kehillah.
The men who represent before the world the combined organizations mentioned in this article are the Kehillah, and they are the American Jewish Committee, and besides, they are the men whose failure in candor has left such an impression of dissatisfaction throughout the masses of the Jewish people.
Who are they? Who are these men with whom the Kehillah is said to be such a puling thing?
