Mikhelson of Der arbayter (The worker), Yiddish organ of the Polish Socialist Party (PPS [Polska Partia Socjalistyczna]), which appeared over the years 1898-1906—a total of fifty issues—in London, Cracow, and Warsaw (published in Cracow).  The first number (dated December 1898), 16 pp., was published somewhere in Poland by a secret publisher.  In 1906 the publication was taken to Warsaw where it was transformed into a weekly newspaper.  Horovits also used the name Valetski.
