Maurice B. Hexter, an American member of the executive of the Jewish Agency for Palestine, and Joseph Sprinzak on behalf of the labor department of the Jewish Agency, arbitrated and settled today the long standing labor dispute at the Jewish colony Kfar Saba. While the parties to the dispute did not agree to some of the paragraphs of the agreement the settlement was nevertheless signed.
Violent clashes occurred at this colony some weeks ago when the colonists employed members of the Brith Trumpeldor Society who had obtained their positions without going through the labor exchange which is maintained by the General Federation of Jewish Labor. The laborites saw in this a dangerous precedent and tried to prevent the Brith Trumpeldorites from working by force.
The members of the Brith Trumpeldor Society, which emphasizes ### national aims of Zionism and is opposed to a monopoly of employment to be exercised by the Labor Federation, insisted together with the Kfar Saba colonists on the establishment of neutral labor bureaus in which the employers should also be represented.
