Collect signatures to petitions calling upon the Government to incorporate in the bill which it is now preparing for regulating the hours of employment a provision for the modification of the Compulsory Sunday Closing Law, with a view to some alleviation of the Jewish economic distress, the Jewish National Council here urges in a circular addressed to all Jewish merchants, shopkeepers and artisans in Poland.
The Official Polish News Agency, Pat, announces that there is no basis for the rumours in the press (the antisemitic “Gazeta Warszawska” wrote last week – reported in the J.T.A. Bulletin of the 12th. inst. – that the Government under Jewish pressure was going to modify the Sunday Closing Law) that the Government has any intention of modifying the Sunday Closing Law. The Government does not contemplate, it says, any action along these lines.
