The Hebrew schools in Palestine will not be opened on Sunday, the Teachers’ Union having refused to negotiate further on the question of the salary reductions, demanding that the dispute should be referred to arbitration. The Jewish Agency Executive has declined to do this, contending that the reductions are within its own scope and declaring that arbitration proposals made under the threat of a strike cannot be entertained. The teachers have rejected an offer made by the Vaad Leumi to continue to mediate between the parties if the schools are reopened.
