The fourteenth annual convention of Hapoel Hamizrachi, orthodox Zionist labor organization, closed tonight at the Hotel Harrison. Nearly 300 delegates from various parts of the United States and Canada adopted resolutions in support of the movement in Palestine for labor within the framework of orthodox Judaism.
Among the speakers during the four-day sessions were Isidore Epstein, president of the organization; Louis Lipsky, on the political situation in Zionism; Gedaliah Bublick, ex-president of Mizrachi, now living in Palestine, who brought greetings from there, Rabbi Max Wohlgelernter, executive director of the Union of Orthodox Congregations, who spoke on the Palestine pioneers, and Leon Gellman, president of Mizrachi.
Members of the organization conducted religious services yesterday at Anshe Sholem Temple with Abraham Spiegel, New York lawyer, acting as cantor. A dance last night was featured by special Palestinian numbers.
