The labor disturbances at the Frumin Biscuit Factory here, which have been current for the past four months, were settled yesterday when the factory heads came to terms with the Histadruth, Palestine Jewish Labor Federation.
The controversy was three fold. The Histadruth declared a strike at the factory last October. Whereupon the factory proceeded to employ Revisionists. This in turn led to clashes between the Histadruth and the Revisionists, which took the form of guerilla warfare. Twelve persons were arrested in October in this connection.
According to the agreement concluded, the Frumin Biscuit Factory agrees to recognize the Histadruth and to employ Histadruth members to the extent of 80%. All strikers are to be re-instated. The number of Revisionist workers is to be reduced from twenty-five to ten for a period of eight months.
