Eleven Communists, who had declared a sit-down strike in the building of the Jewish Agency here and were ejected by police Sunday, today renewed their sit-down strike in the offices of the Agricultural Division of the Histardrut.
The demonstrators threaten to go on a hunger strike if the Agricultural Division of the Histadrut does not immediately consider their claims. Their principal demand is that they be restored to full rights in settlemonts where, they allege, discrimination is being practiced against them because of membership in the Communist party.
