A conflict between the manager of one hundred and twenty dunams of land owned by Dutch Jews in the colony of Hadar and workers affiliated with the Histadruth, Palestine labor federation, led to the arrest of twenty workers yesterday.

The controversy arose over the manager’s action in engaging Mizrachi workers from Petach Tikva for the cultivation of this territory, while the Histadruth claimed that its workers should have been employed.
