Thousands of Jewish workers in Lodz, Wolyn and other cities were thrown out of work today by the closing of a number of textile factories. Economic depression is blamed for the shut-down. The bulk of workers affected by the lay-off are in Lodz where the Grohman and Gyer plant notified their workmen that the factories would close for a month because of the standstill in the textile industry.
Two hundred Jewish workers were left jobless in Kostopol when the only Jewish-owned furniture factory closed down.
