* Zh.P.S. was a Polish Socialist Movement - per Zachary Baker at YIVO: " Zh. P. S. = Zydowska Partia Socialistyczna (as noted on p. 244 of the Stryj memorial book, this was the first Jewish labor party to organize amongst the Jewish trades in Stryj, circa 1903-04). My Polish spelling of the name might be incorrect."
