The Jewish community and the Zionist organization of the township of Klobuck near Szenstochow today telegraphed the Jewish National Council in Warsaw asking for government intervention against anti-Semitism rioters who attacked Jewish pedestrians on the streets of the town. Five Jews were severely injured.
A number of Jewish merchants were badly beaten and forced to leave their market stalls with stocks of goods behind, when anti-Jewish attacks occurred at the annual fair at Jarocin, Posen, according to information made public here by the Union of Jewish merchants.
The peaceful progress of the fair was disturbed when a band of hooligans appeared and began to demolish the stalls of the Jewish traders, severely beating those they caught. The rioting lasted for more than two hours, after which police appeared and dispersed the attackers, who withstood the police for some time.
Among the Jewish traders severely injured in the rioting were Joseph Schachtel and his son, Isaac Dembinsky, Binem Kohn and Lea Gottlieb.
The victims of the attack registered their losses at a mass meeting held last night. The meeting was called by the Union of Jewish Small Traders of Kalish, to which most of the merchants belonged. The list will be forwarded to the Central Union at Warsaw, which will appeal to the government to take energetic steps to prevent recurrences.
