From Socialism vs. Civilization by Boris L. Brasol, 1920

It is . . . noteworthy that in many instances where strikes have actually broken out, or where attempts have been made by labor leaders to bring about a strike, there has been no ground whatsoever for charges of exploitation of the laborers by their employers. If there was no ground for a strike, the ground had to be invented. Such was the case with the Bethlehem strike, which was run by Messrs. W. B. Rubin and John Fitzpatrick. The labor leaders themselves did not dare to present the argument that the Bethlehem steel corporation was actually "exploiting" labor, but in order to provoke a strike, the Socialist agitators raised the question of "collective bargaining." The dispute was cleverly shifted toward the alleged right of the American Federation of Labor to conclude with the corporation a collective contract on behalf of the Bethlehem labor craft as a whole. Thus, the American Federation of Labor fought the directors of the Bethlehem mills for the sole purpose of compelling the company to substitute for the agreement which existed between the company and the Bethlehem workmen an agreement of the company with the American Federation of Labor itself, notwithstanding the fact that an overwhelming majority of the Bethlehem workmen actually did not belong to the said Federation. Therefore . . . an attempt was made to overrule the free will of the majority of the laborers by a despotic policy of a minority.

With much surprise the public has noticed that Mr. Samuel Untermeyer came out in support of this despotic movement, and that Rabbi Wise violently attacked Judge Gary, apparently because of his firm and wise stand against the . . . tendencies fomented by the steel-strike leaders.

The peculiar feature of the police strike is that a policeman has no more right to strike than a soldier. Each violates his oath to the government when he deserts his post by striking . . .

. . . the American Federation of Labor took the liberty of issuing a charter to the Policemen's Union, which action must be regarded as in itself disloyal. . .   . . . those same labor organizations which were issuing charters to police unions in various cities have also approved the policy of the policemen walking out on strikes whenever they happened to disagree with the orders given by their superiors. At the same time it is important to remember that labor agitators as a rule are not open to the reproach of having any particular sympathy with the police in general, and especially when they perform their duties. Thus, in a Russian Bolshevist paper published in New York City the New York police were called "The American Cossacks." (Probably this appellation was borrowed by New York Communists from Rabbi Wise, who accused Judge Gary of having "Cossackised" the steel-mill workers.) There is something very peculiar in a situation where labor organization which, generally speaking, have but little respect for the "Cossacks" of the American nation, are issuing charters to those same men.

    . . . Bernard, along with a remarkable group of women including Justine Wise Polier, Marion E. Kenworthy, and Barbara Biber, wielded considerable influence in setting the agenda on children's issues in New York City. In particular, she had a rich, fifty-year collaboration with Polier, a New York City Family Court judge and daughter of the renowned Rabbi Stephen Wise. Along with these and other women, Bernard was involved in such organizations as the Bank Street College of Education, the Citizens' Committee for Children of New York, Louise Wise Services, the Northside Center for Child Development, the Bureau of Child Guidance of the New York City Board of Education, and the Wiltwyck School for Boys, among many others.

Bernard fully participated in numerous professional organizations. She was a founder in 1945 of the influential Group for the Advancement of Psychiatry (GAP), an organization that sought to apply psychiatric insights to the solution of social problems . . .

  The Communist Party is merely an arm attached to the Moscow branch of Jewish imperialism. The General Zionists are different only in their stress upon certain policies best calculated to achieve Talmudic world aims. As for any imagined �conservatism,� the leaders of the General Zionists, (according to the Palestine Year Book, 1946, issued by the Zionist Organization of America) the ruling heads of the World Zionist Organization were: red Rabbi Stephen S. Wise, Rabbi Abba Hillel Silver, Louis Lipsky, Nahum Goldmann. (page 357) Wise, Silver, Goldmann, Lipsky, were all included in the 120 top Jews of the world chosen by the world Kehillas in 1937, along with Commissar Litvinov (Finklestein) of Russia, Rabbi Louis Finkelstein (see his �Pharisees� herein), and others.
