Rabbi B. Levinthal, of Philadelphia,
made an address in Yiddish in which
he described very graphically the hor-
rible situation in Russia and appealed
for help. He said it was the duty of
the Jews in America to assist their
brethren as much as possible, as by
doing so they were not giving aims, but
really paying off a national debt.
So far $500 has been collected and it
is expected that the different lodges
and organizations will make contribu-
tions and about $500 will be collected,
which sum will be forwarded as soon
al all the money is collected, to Hon.
Jacob Schiff, treasurer of the American
Relief Fund.
The following resolutions were passed:
We, citizens of the Borough of Wood
bine, aroused by the awfulness of the
suffering and the enormity of atrocities
to which u co-religionists in Russia
are subjected, do enter protest and
indignation in the following resolutions:
Whereas, the appalling massacres of
the Jews and the wanton cruelty at the
last outbreak exceed in their savag-
cry and ghastliness all previous mani
festations of brutality of the Russian
mob.
Whereas, the Russian government
could not or would not check in time
the slaughter of innocent men, women
and children.
Whereas, the continuous Expressive
and exclusive laws against the Jews
have sown the seed of racial hatr,d in
the minds of the masses, eliminating
in the most barbaric outrages known
in the history of mankind.
And whereas, we, the Jewish citizens
of Woodbine, loyal and devoted to the
Constitution and laws of this enlighten-
ed land, have proven by our peaceful
discharge of the duties of citizens in
IL own municipal as we'll as state and
national affairs, that the just laws and
equal rights are conducive 10 good will
and peace between man and man and
that brotherly love among races is
founded upon equality and just on
siderations on the part of governments.
Therefore, be it resolved, that we ex-
tend u active sympathy to our unfor-
tunate brothers and sisters in this hour
of affliction.
That we protest in the name of en-
lightened humanity against the hides
cribable and brutal deeds of the Rus
sian mob and failure of the Russian
government to protect the helpless vic
Tins.
That we, citizens of the United States.
petition u government to use its good
offices in behalf of Jul suffering people
in the domain of the Gar and take such
action as outraged humanity demands
and the laws of nations permit.
That a copy of these resolutions be
sent to the President of the United
States to whose influence to stay the
hand of iniquity and slaughter the
world owes an eternal debt.
