A complaint against the Postmaster at Haifa, who is alleged to have compelled Jewish officials to work on Saturdays and Jewish holidays was submitted to the Postmaster General by the Jerusalem Chief Rabbinate.
The Postmaster General replied that in accordance with existing conditions it was impossible regularly to release Jews simultaneously from Saturday labor, unless it was the desire of the Rabbinate to have a certain number of Jewish officials replaced by non-Jewish officials for some hours work on Saturday.
The Chief Rabbinate has taken the case to the High Commissioner, it was stated.
