Freedom of Jewish immigration to Palestine heads the list of demands formulated by the Jewish workers of Palestine in a number of resolutions adopted at the convention of the Palestine Jewish Labor Federation, representing all factions of the Jewish labor movement in the country.
The convention of the Labor Federation, which lasted a fortnight, came to a close yesterday in Tel-Aviv.
The resolutions adopted by the Conference urge the Zionist Executive to increase its colonization activity. A series of demands was formulated in these resolutions demanding speedy action on the part of the Palestine Government to solve the unemployment problem and to hasten the upbuilding of Palestine as the Jewish National Home. The resolutions urge the Government to grant State land for Jewish colonization, to facilitate the naturalization of Jewish immigrants, to promulgate labor legislation and to admit Jews to service in the Palestine Frontier Force.
The new council of the Federation elected at the convention consists of eighteen members representing Achduth Ha’avodah, nine representing Hapoel Ha’zair, and six representing smaller groups.
