Fifteen Jewish workers were arrested in the town Radzimin on Kol Nidre night, following a clash between a group of Orthodox and members of the leather union, professed atheists.

The workers attempted to stage an anti-religious demonstration on Yom Kippur eve. This-action aroused Orthodox circles, who sought to break up the demonstration, resulting in the clash. Stones were thrown by both sides, and the police had to be called to restore order.
