The weekly newspaper 'Arbitrator Friendly Anarchist Communist Organ' was founded in 1885 by Maurice Winchevsky. After Saul Janowski immigrated to the United States in 1894, Wolf Voss became editor of the paper. Among the writers were Abraham Frumkin, Shalom Schwarzbard, and David Edelstadt. In 1903, the paper began to be published under the leadership of the Arbeter Freind group and edited by Rudolf Rucker as an expression of the Federation of Yiddish-speaking anarchist groups in Britain and Paris. When the First World War broke out, the British government banned the paper. The anarchist London-speaking Yiddish community did not recover after the Russian war and revolution. Many of its members have joined the Zionist movement, the Labor movement or the Communist movements. At the end of the war, Roker was deported to the Netherlands.
