“Collective receipt” of emergency assistance for members of labor unions was introduced in the Jewish community in Warsaw.
A delegation of the Jewish trade unions appeared before the Kehillah executive, asking that coal tickets distributed by the Kehillah to unemployed be turned over to the union for distribution. Last year the Kehillah distributed these tickets to individual applicants.
At the hearing, a member of the labor delegation, a tailor, Baruch Stein, 20 years old, fainted. It was learned that he had not eaten for several days.
