The Zionists and the Bundists continued to easy their votes against the allotment for the Orthodox Chedorim, the Agudah and the ## stood firm against the subvention to the Hebrew Tarbuth schools maintained by the Zionists, while the Zionists and the Agudah delegates joined in fighting against support for the Yiddish schools of the labor groups.
