The calling off of the cab-drivers’ strike is confidently expected today. The averting of this strike will further help to ease the tension now prevailing throughout the country.
The Palestine Government has agreed today to postpone the payments of motor license fees until the 30th of September following a joint conference of representatives of the Government, of the Chamber of Commerce, and of the cab owners and cab drivers.
A proposal was adopted at this conference to establish a commission for the purpose of studying the position of the industry.
Substantial hope is expressed that the creation of such a Commission will avoid the strike of the motor cab owners and drivers in Palestine, which was originally proclaimed for today.
The proposal of the Government that the motor car drivers should not go out on strike until the Commission reports its findings, will be considered Thursday at a special meeting of the Cab-Drivers Union.
