Several persons were arrested by the police yesterday in Bromberg, Posen, when a free-for-all fight of an anti-Jewish nature developed.

The disturbance was caused by the editor of an anti-Semitic newspaper, “The Sabbath Courier,” who attacked Jewish merchants on the street. The police intervened.

Jews have no right to complain, was the reply of a railway official to a Jewish merchant, Epstein, who was injured by a Polish co-passenger on the Lodz-Posen express. When the Jewish passenger attempted seize his assailant who was escaping, the railway official stopped him. When the Jew asked for the complaint book, the official replied, “There is no such book for Jews,” newspapers report.
