The conflict between the Jewish workers and Arabs near Afuleh found echo in a quarrel between members of the Histadruth, the Jewish Labor Federation of Palestine and the group of the extreme Left, who issued a leaflet attacking the Jewish Labor Federation and the Zionists in connection with the Afuleh incident.
Five members of the extreme and three of the Histadruth were arrested. Trial for disturbing the peace took place today. One of the extremists was sentenced to two months imprisonment and subsequent deportation. The other four were sentenced to one week in jail.
Work was resumed by the Jewish laborers at Afuleh today. The authorities have issued a warrant to arrest any Arab who tries to prevent the Jewish workmen from ploughing.
