Warsaw Kehillah Council Closes Session Because of Fighting Among Members

(Jewish Telegraphic Agency)

Turbulent scenes were witnessed at the meeting of the Warsaw Kehillah Council last night.

The cause for the disturbance was the desire of a Zionist delegate to read the declaration of his group in the Hebrew language. Delegates of the Volkspartei, the Bund and the Poale Zion objected, demanding that it be read in Yiddish. The Zionist delegate threatened to disturb the speakers for the Left when they would read their declaration.

The meeting of the Council had to be closed when one of the Bund delegates threw a chair at Mr. Rittermeister, a delegate for the Agudath Israel, who, in his address, criticized the Bund.
