NEW YORK.—Among the many
activities comprising the work of re-
claiming Palestine, the recovery of
historical monuments is attracting in-
terest in the widest circles. Recent
discoveries made by the expedition of
the Palestine , Jewish Exploration So-
ciety, under the leadership of Dr. Na-
hum Slousch is of particular interest
to students of Palestinian history and
to those who value any addition to
the knowledge of the land of Israel.
Excavations on sites where his-
torical monuments are supposed to
exist beneath the ground, receive the
encouragement and aid of the local
government as well as from many
non-Jews. Dr. MacAllister, who is
excavating in behalf of the Palestine
Exploration Fund. an English organ-
ization, and the Daily Telegraph of
London, has made important discov-
eries on the site of the so-called City
of David. His discoveries are of no
definite value to archaeology, how-
ever, as there was no inscription
found on any of the vaults Dr. Mac-
Allister discovered. Another expe-
dition is conducted by Dr. %Veil in be-
half of Baron De Rothschild, which

Co-operation between Jewish and Arab tobacco growers was urged by
the district governor, Lieut. Col. C. II. F. Symes, during his visit to the
Jewish colony at Rosh Pins. Ile declared that the government was dealing
with the question of the tobacco industry in Palestine very carefully and
that it was the desire of the government that there be co-operation between
the Jewish and Arab tobacco growers so as to avoid competition and secure
a good market for both. The Arabs, however, are hesitating to co-operate,
as they are afraid that they will be the losers by ouch an arrangement.
Propaganda is now being made by the sub-district governor of Acre to per-
suade the Arabs in his district of the feasibility of such an arrangement.

A party of 200, consisting mainly of merchants and chalutzim, left
Warsaw for Palestine. Several thousand friends and relatives assembled
at the station to bid the party farewell and many touching scenes of joy
and sorrow were enacted. The economic crisis prevailing in the country
has greatly increased the number of those anxious to go to Palestine and
Jewish merchants and small manufacturers are awaiting an opportunity to
realize on their property in order to raise the capital necessary to re-estab-
lish themselves in Palestine. Another group of several hundred Jewish
merchants and chalutzim left two days later. Most of them are well-to-do
and are going there to establish themselves in various enterprises and busi-
nesses.

A reeolutisn eeeinst the numerus clausus was unanimoulsy passed by

alliance, of which the Archbishop of Canterbury is president, has among
its members famous scholars and the most prominent representatives of
the churches of '26 countries. The resolution reads as follows: "The man.
agement commit ee of the World Alliance, having considered a memorandum
received from the Committee of Jewish Delegations, Paris, concerning the
introduction of 'he numerus clausus in certain universities, desire to .state
that we have se* suit' cient knowledge as to local circumstances to enable
us to express ao e pinion on'the particular cases mentioned. But as regards
the general mes. , iple of such restrictions, they appear to the management
committee of thii World Alliance to be inconsistent with human right of

strike has meant a war of about 10
weeks' duration—sometimes longer—
affecting 50,000 families directly and
an almost similar number in the sub-
sidiary and independent industries in-
directly. Losses of many millions in
wages and employers' profits and gen-
eral distress, particularly in the sec-
tion of the city very largely inhabited
by our workers, will be other results.
The public also would suffer in this
case, because the manufacturers, to
recoup themselves for the losses Ind-
dental to a strike, would inevitably
raise the prices of their garments."
Mr. Hillquit said that the governor
had invited both sides of the garment
dispute to meet him in conference,
and that representatives of the job-
hers and workers had gone to his
campaign headquarters in acceptance
of the invitation.
Governor Smith said that he had
"transferred the state capitol tem-
porarily for a day to his campaign
headquarters," and felt that a settle-
ment of the garment dispute was of
more importance than his chance to
win the Presidential nomination.
Deadlocked Since May 31.
The questions at issue have been,
raised since the expiration on May 31
of a two-year renewal of a three-year
agreement between the jobbers and
the garment workers, Mr. Sigtnan
said:
"The workers voted last week in
favor of a strike by approximately
31,000 to 400. We have been in con-
ference for the last five weeks with
the employers, but have made no
progress."
"What the union asks in the first
place," declared Mr. Ifillquit, "is that
the jobbers assume a certain degree
of responsibility for the seen who
work for them. We
• believe there
should be a contract for wages, and,
that the employer should guarantee
the workers a minimum of 36 weeks,
a year employment. We now hove
only about 30 to 35 weeks' employ-
ment in the year. In a great many
instances our members go without
work for 30 weeks or more in the
year. Now we ask that the employer
arrange his production so as to guar-!
antee steady employment or wages."
"We understand the union request-,
eel this conference," said Mr. Blum-
berg. "We came up by invitation.
We refused to arbitrate because you
can't arbitrate a principle. The gov-
error suggested that the contending
parties should revert to a conference.'
Our feeling is that all elements of the
industry should be asked to partici-.
pate in a joint conference to be di-
rected by a conciliatory advisory
hoard."
