A Protest AGAINST Mr.. CoRBIN's ACTION
A tut-,5mnitte, appointed at tho meeting
Of The board Of delegates Of the Union of Amer.
icao Hebrew Congregation. ct New York, on
Wednesday, has since then drawo up the fol
lowing formal protest agairss MIR. CjrbIn's ao-
lion in attempting to exclude the Hebrews from
Manhattan Bach:
I'VE feel that public opinion emphaticalIy
condemns the recent action of the MaDhattan
Beach Company, through its President, in do
ciariDg the Hebrews Of New York unworthy of
the enjoyment Of equal privileges with others.
I'VE Insist that caterers fer the public an use.
meut or convenience should refrain from such
odous discrimination against buy class of res
idencc, whatever their nationality or religious
convic ions. New York city. the commercial
centre of the Uaited States, is itself affrou,ed
by such a contemplate manifestation of tig'
otry and prjudi,e. affecting body OF residents
among the foremost 10 all that implies retp,ot'
ability and honorable aspirations.
I'VE recommend cur oorelgionists. while
they naturally, 10 oommon with other dtc,ut
citz ads, will withhold their countcnau,e from
the company, whose president has wantonly
assailed the Hebrew name. to abstain from
public demonstrations. which would simply
elevate into undue importance this vugusr and
brutal attack. 1t is beneath our dIg1iiy to
take any farther notice Of so despca5lv an as
sailant. we may safely leave our defense to Inc
intelligent and advanced putlic ssnliment Of
cur fellow c.tzsns, irrespective ofcreed or race.
