In addition to the penalty imposed by Section 2142, all property and
commodities exposed for sale on the first day of the week in
violation of the provisions of this article shall be forfeited. Upon
conviction of the offender by the justice of the peace of a county,
or by a police justice or magistrate, such officer shall issue a
warrant for the seizure of the forfeited articles, which when seized
shall be sold on one day’s notice, and the proceeds paid to the
overseers of the poor, for the use of the poor of the town or city.
“This statute is not enforced. But I believe we shall yet be compelled
to enforce it in New York. The seizure of the stocks of some of these
Jewish shopkeepers would be the most effective lesson one could
administer in teaching them to respect the law.”
Another magistrate expressed himself still more forcibly on the Jewish
question. “These people from Eastern Europe,” he said, “are tending to
destroy all American conceptions of right and justice. Day after day my
court is crowded with Jewish people. I am compelled to fine and warn
them. The attitude of the women is especially truculent. They have
adopted a misconception of woman’s suffrage. They say to me: ‘This is a
woman’s country. Woman can do what she likes—men can’t.’
“There is no denying the fact that New York is falling more and more
under the dominance of Jews. Americans are gradually being driven from
public life. It will not be long before we shall have a Jewish mayor and
a Jewish board of aldermen. This in itself should be no great misfortune
were it not for _the tendency of the Jew to abuse his power_. He is
ambitious and restless to obtain authority. But the moment he gets it,
_he becomes oppressive. This is evident already_ wherever the Jews are
obtaining monopolies. A friend, a young man, came to me the other day,
complaining bitterly that he was deliberately being driven out of
business by the Jews. He was the owner of a prosperous laundry. But the
large machine laundries of the city are now mostly in the hands of Jews.
They refuse to do his work for him, saying: ‘You are not a member of our
syndicate.’
(This is one of the new phases of the Jewish invasion—the almost
complete absorption of the laundry business.)
“We all remember the time when the Jews began to clamor for special news
stand privileges. They formed Jewish organizations of news dealers,
until the business was entirely in their hands. While they still had
non-Jewish competition they were obliging and attentive enough. They did
anything to curry favor. But today they carry themselves like lords. _No
Jewish news dealer in New York will deliver newspapers to his non-Jewish
customers on Jewish holidays._
