Socialism Her Rival

Wife Seeks Separation From Husband Who Liked Russia’s Free Love

Socialism caused Joseph Weil, Brooklyn public school teacher, to neglect his wife and five children and to threaten removal to Russia, “where life and love are free,” according to charges of his wife, Anna, whom Supreme Court Justice Callaghan today awarded $20 weekly pending trial of her suit for separation.
Weil, his wife alleges, in 1919 began to pay attentions to an unnamed young woman. His threat to go to Russia followed her protests. He is charged with saying that his wife and children could look to a capitalistic government for support. Weil denied the charges.
