The World Commercial College, which has been the scene of attacks on Jewish students during the past week, was closed by an order of the dean, because of the continued outbreaks.

New riots broke out today. The police intervened and prevented the students from ejecting their Jewish classmates from the lecture hall. The clash continued in the streets in the neighborhood of the college. The police took strong measures in view of the fact that the anti-Semitic students did not even spare the dean of the college, Professor Gruentzl.

Anti-Semitic demonstrations also took place in the Vienna Neustadt Windows in Jewish homes were smashed. The demonstration started following an election meeting.
