Abstract
From its foundation in 1904, the Slovene National Benefit Society (Slovenska Narodna podporna jednota – SNPJ) developed in its members liberalistic attitudes to and socialist views of the world. Organization activities had great success among American Slovenes. As a fraternal organization the SNPJ promoted the development of the socialist movement, which is another of its merits. Through its paper Prosveta, which was partly published in English, it even attracted to its ranks-generation American Slovenes. The paper examines SNPJ activities in the 1920s. Printed materials such as Prosveta and Mladinski list-Juvenile were used by the author as her primary sources of information.
