Given the alternative of either paying a fine or going to jail for ousting Arabs who were working in Jewish orange groves in the colony of Herzlia, thirty Revisionist laborers declared today their willingness to serve the prison term.
Four of the thirty were released by the authorities subject to good conduct because of their youth.
The Revisionist laborers have succeeded in forcing the Jewish plantation owners to eliminate Arab labor from their plantations. The Arabs eliminated are not from Palestine but from the Hauran in Syria, who entered the country in order to compete with Jewish labor.
