Meier Grossman, vice-president of the World Union of the Zionist Revisionists and the editors of the “Razsviet,” the Revisionist organ, will be summoned to appear before the court of honor of the World Zionist Congress, to answer charges of libelous accusations against the Histadruth in articles, it was announced by the Histadruth at a press conference.
Mr. Grossman accused the Histadruth of giving to the police the names of Revisionists who entered Palestine illegally. This accusation was made in an article which appeared in the “Moment” and reiterated in articles in the Razviet.” The Revisionists also charged that the leaders of the Palestine Labor Federation allegedly stated that they preferred Arab labor to Revisionist labor.
Speaking at a conference here last night, Ben Gurion, Histadruth leader, definitely denied that the Histadruth refuses to recognize the rights of Revisionist workers to labor. He cited documents endeavoring to show that the Histadruth offered the Revisionists proportional employment in order to avoid fraternal conflicts.
