The close relationship between the American and Israel labor movements was lauded today by Israel Mereminsky, leader of the Histadrut, at the laying of a cornerstone for a building in which a school for auto-mechanies will be housed. The building will be a part of the International Training Center in Israel which is being sponsered by the Histadrut with the aid of the International Ladies Garment Workers Union of America. The Center is located at Kiriyat Haim, near Haifa.
Dr. B. Hoffman-Tzyvion, editor of Gerechtikeit, official organ of the I.L.G.W.U. and member of the editorial staff of the New York Jewish Daily Forward, who is now visiting Israel, was given the honor to spread the first layer of cement at the cornerstone-laying ceremony.
