Two laborites were arrested following a clash in which several members of the B’rith Trumpeldor (Revisionist youth organization) were wounded, it was reported here from Rehoboth today.
The dispute arose when several Betharim (B’rith Trumpeldorites) were employed to build a house. The employment of the Betharim is allegedly an infringement of a recent contractors’ agreement, according to which all employing was to be done through the union.
Police have been stationed to protect workers at the scene of the clash.
