Textile firms comprising nearly the entire industry in the city of Lodz today served notice on Danzig concerns that they had terminated credit relations with them because of discriminations against Jews.
Circulars mailed by the Lodz firms to their Danzig customers declared resumption of credit was impossible until signs announcing that "Jews are not wanted" were removed from their shop windows. The signs, the circulars stated, prevented Jewish agents of the Lodz companies from calling upon the Danzig stores.
Similar action is expected to be taken by textile concerns in Warsaw, Krakow, Lwow and Tarnow.
