Five well known Radical Zionists were injured today when a group of anti-Semitic Hakenkreutzers and members of the Heimwehr started a riot at the cafe Produkten Boerse where the Radical Zionists meet. The anti-Semites attacked the Jewish guests in the cafe and smashed mirrors and furniture.

The attack was aimed at breaking up a meeting of the Austrian League for Human Rights which had been arranged for a nearby cafe to protest against the conviction of the Jewish student, Philip Halsman at Innsbruck. The police arrived after the riot was over.
