The municipality of Lodz will be dissolved by the government, the Polish press reports today, disclosing the fact that the government commissioner who objected to the anti-Jewish resolutions which the municipality adopted last week has resigned.
A movement to defend Jewish ritual slaughtering in Poland was started today by all Jewish orthodox groups, in view of the danger that the government may prohibit schechitah. Deputy Levin, a member of the Agudath Israel, intervened with the Minister of Interior to convince him that the Jewish ritual of slaughtering is human and should not be prohibited.
An appeal was issued today by a united committee of Jewish orthodox groups to a number of professors abroad asking them to testify that the Jewish method of slaughtering is not inhumane as the opponents of schechitah assert. Among those to whom the appeal was sent are Prof. Lieben of Praha, Dr. Munk of Berlin, and Dr. Loewenstein of Zurich.
