A budget of $60,000 was adopted by the Women’s Pioneer Organization for Palestine at the closing session of its convention here.
The convention endorsed the Chalutzim movement in the United States and demanded a larger appropriation of certificates for Chalutzim.
Another resolution scored “the unjust attitude of the Revisionists in Palestine to organized labor.”
A speaker at the sessions was Golda Meyerson, Palestine representative of the Histadruth, Palestine Labor Federation, who charged the Revisionists with seeking to undermine the Histadruth.
Resolutions adopted demand state and municipal aid for the jobless, relief and insurance, prohibition of child labor, equal rights for women in work and wages; help for the Socialist candidates in the present election; co-operation with the Poale Zion and other labor organizations in their protest to the American Federation of Labor on its attitude to immigration and deportations.
