Jews, Be Calm

Daily Jewish Courier, June 1, 1919

Poles of Chicago will today march in a demonstration which will also have an anti-Semitic character.

The anti-Semitic propaganda in the Polish press, these last few weeks, set a large portion of the Polish population in Chicago in an attitude of incitement against Jews. There are grounds to fear that today's Polish demonstration may lead to terrorisms against Jews.

We, therefore, advise the Jewish population in Chicago to keep at a distance from the demonstration, in order to prevent any possibility for probable provocations that might give the Poles any reason whatsoever for unpleasant incidents.

Insinuations of the demonstrators against Jews should be ignored.

City authorities will take the necessary steps to keep order. A large police force will accompany the demonstrators.

Retain your calmness and dignity.
