Nineteen of the 21 members of the General Federation of Jewish Labor arrested at Kfar Saba following a clash with members of the Brith Trumpeldor Society some weeks ago over the refusal of the latter to obtain work at the Kfar Saba colony through the Federation’s labor exchanges, have been sentenced to one month in jail and the payment of $250 each as security, in addition to court fees. They have the right to appeal the sentence.
