300 Jews, shouting that they are starving, broke to-day into the building of the Riga Jewish Community, demanding food. Deputy Dubin, the leader of the Agudath Israel Party in Latvia, who was in the building at the time, was threatened by the crowd. Police were finally brought in and dispersed the crowd.
