Joseph Abodi, prominent Jewish merchant here, was sentenced to one month’s imprisonment on a charge of insulting the Moslem religion.
The sentence imposed on the Jewish merchant caused great indignation in various circles here in view of the fact that although six Arabs testified against Abodi, the general opinion is that the charge was false. It is known that the Arabs testified against Abodi for personal reasons of vengeance.
The Industrial Council of Cloak, Suit and Skirt Manufacturers, Inc., met at the Hotel Pennsylvania yesterday afternoon and announced afterward its decision to take all its production out of New York City because of labor conditions.
