The thirteen Jewish workers who were recently arrested in connection with the Labour conflict in the orange groves of Ness Zionah and sentenced to eighteen days’ imprisonment, have been released to-day against their own will, by the Palestine Labour Federation (Histadruth Haovdim) furnishing the security required by the authorities for their further good behaviour. The prisoners had refused to furnish the security on principle contending that by doing so they would have admitted that they were guilty, which they deny.
