Slovanska Delavska Podporna Zveza (Slavic Workers' Benefit Federation) (Conemaugh, Pa.)

The Slovanska Delavska Podporna Zveza was organized in 1908 in Conemaugh, Pennsylvania. It was a fraternal insurance organization created to meet the needs of Slavic workers in the coal fields, and iron and steel industries in Pennsylvania and surrounding areas.

The organization attempted to serve political as well as economic needs of its members. It cooperated with other Slavic organizations, especially Jugosovanska Socialistična Zveza and Slovenska Narodna Podporna Jednota; it merged with the latter in 1918.
