Synopsis
Excerpt from The Workingman and the Synagogue
The difficulty of determining the limitations of the subject soon presented itself, for it was found that men who might properly be recorded as workingmen one day would be raised from a low estate and transformed over night into merchant princes and great manufacturers. Because it was impossible to differentiate between the body of permanent workers and thelarger body of workers, many of whom are in the transitional stage of preparation for positions as merchants and professional men, it seemed best to follow a good Old Jewish practice of leaving indefinite what can not be defined.
The study of the Jewish workingman disclosed the further fact that the workingmen are almost exclusively recruited from the recent immigrants, for with an almost negligible exception, it is stated that the Jewish immigrants of a past generation are themselves employers of labor, a fact which is not a fruit less cause of much bitterness on the part of the employe, who in the native town in Russia was recognized as far superior to the man who, by the change of fortune, is the employer in America.
