Prominent Polish women stood behind counters as saleswomen today as an anti-Jewish boycott spread through the Volhynia province. The women offered goods for sale in Nationalist stalls erected in the main streets of the town of luck.
Efforts to induce the Ukrainian and White Russian populations to join in the boycott failed. Pickets were later ordered by a magistrate to withdraw from Jewish shops. In Plock, pickets were arrested and immediately fined by the magistrate, who declared no anti-Jewish picketing would be tolerated in the future.
Strong boycott activity was also reported from Kielce, where many windows of Jewish-owned shops on the main street were broken.
