A Government communique issued here to-day on the motor traffic general strike suggests that the Government has no intention of giving way to the demands of the strikers.

The Haifa Municipality has adopted a resolution calling upon the Government to settle the strike immediately, and a group of merchants in Jerusalem have threatened to close down their shops unless a settlement is effected.
