Jews of all groups have united for the forthcoming elections in October.
Leaders of the various factions have joined in the issue of an election manifesto appealing to the Jews to make their solidarity count at the balloting.
The groups which have joined hands include such divergent elements as the Agudath Israel, the Zionists and the assimilationist “Israelite Union”.
The Vienna Jews hope by this unity to obtain the election of two deputies in Parliament, 5 members of the Vienna common council and 10 members in Viennese district councils.
