Davar, the Histadrut daily, appeared today in a reduced size of eight pages instead of the usual 12 or 16 as a result of the slowdown strike by the newspaper’s employes in protest against a delay in wage payments.

Davar was scheduled to return to its usual size tomorrow, pending payment of salaries today.
