(Jewish Telegraphic Agency)

Reports of a renewed fight of the Jewish section of the Communist party against Chalutzim, Zionist youths who prepared themselves for pioneer work in Palestine by working on the farms in Russia, were recieved here.

The reports state that the Jewish section has ordered the Chalutzim who have been working for a long time on farms in the district of Podol to leave the farms within twenty-four hours. The live stock and implements of the Chalutzim were auctioned off. Christian peasants of the neighborhood refrained from attending the auction because of their friendly relations with the Chalutzim.
