The Israeli Communists are exploiting the current unemployment situation to incite the jobless to demonstrate in front of the Histadrut labor exchanges and the Jewish Agency offices.

Communist-sponsored demonstrations of 20 to 50 persons occur daily in front of the labor exchange office here and the police are often called to restore order. In Haifa today the Communists called a mass meeting, without obtaining a police permit, to press for increased wages and more jobs. Meanwhile, unsigned leaflets have appeared in various places in Israel urging the unemployed “to take their case into their own hands.”
