The Warsaw and Cracow bar associations yesterday rejected proposals to bar Jews from the legal profession.

The vote in Warsaw was 1,000 to 400. M. Szumanski, Jewish attorney, prominent defender of the Jews in the recent trial arising from disorders in the town of Przytyk, was elected a member of the association’s council.

After the Cracow bar association had rejected a proposal identical with the one offered in Warsaw, forty adherents of the anti-Semitic National Democratic Party Walked out of the meeting in protest.
