As a result of the wholesale dismissal of Jewish lawyers, several thousand non-Jewish clerks, formerly employed in the offices of these lawyers, find themselves without jobs.
In order to cope with this situation, the Prussian Ministery of Justice, in an official communique issued today, orders every new Aryan lawyer admitted to practice to be obliged to employ clerks previously with the Jewish lawyers and who now find themselves unemployed.
The communique adds that already 450 such unemployed clerks have been placed with new Aryan lawyers and that a list has been compiled in order to provide the remaining unemployed clerks with posts at the first opportunity.
