(Jewish Telegraphic Agency)
A campaign for the enactment of prohibition against the Schechita, the Jewish manner of slaughtering animals, was instituted by the “Voelkskampf”, the organ of the Hakenkreuzler in Austria. The newspaper simultaneously publishes a reply to the protest submitted to the government by the Vienna Kehillah, against the strenuous campaign of the Hakenkreuzler.
The “Voelkskampf” concludes with the threat that “Vienna is pogrom pregnant. The Jews are playing with fire.”
