A Jewish bake-house worker named Abraham Neuerman, 31 years of age, who belonged to the Jewish Socialist Party Bund, was shot dead to-day by a Jewish Communist in the course of a fight between Bundists and Communists over a question concerning the conduct of the professional interests of the Jewish bake-house workers.
Fighting between Bundist and Communist workers is frequent in Poland, the Bundists resenting the attempts of the Communists to obtain control of the Jewish trade unions. Last year and also in 1929, there were several such clashes, in which revolvers were used and people were killed and injured. There was trouble of this kind in the Jewish bakery industry in Warsaw in November 1929, when the Communist bakers’ union called a strike, which the Bundist baker’s union repudiated. Groups of Communists went about attacking bakeries where Bundist workers were at work, and there were many serious injuries and arrests on both sides.
