New Violence Hits Israel Textile Strike

TEL AVIV (JTA)-The strike
of 1,800 workers against the
ATA textile manufacturing
plant and retail shops has en-
tered its third month with the
police reporting a new violent
incident. The company manager,
J. Abramov, was assaulted and
suffered a skull fracture.
For the past two days, Abra-
mov had noticed two men were
following him. Today, when he
arrived home dogged by his two
shadows, he went into the house
and picked up a camera. He
stepped outside and attempted
to photograph the two.
Instead, they took the camera
away from him and hit him
over the head with it. They fled
and have so far not been ap-
prehended.

Born in Novo-Ushitza, Russia,
July 22, 1897, the Detroit lead-
er studied at the Odessa Yes-
hiva in 1917 and at the Institute
of Commerce in Kiev in 1920.
He came to this country in 1921.
He earned his Bachelor's and
Law degrees at the University
of Detroit and until his retire-
ment several years ago was
active in the furniture business
here.
He was married to Esther
Bookstein, Aug. 27, 1924. They
have two daughters, Mrs. Victor
(Barbara) Linden and Mrs.
Max (Renah) Bardenstein of
Iowa City, Ia., and five grand-
children.

This is not the first instance
of violence in the strike, which ,
is estimated to be costing Is-
rael's economy 50,000 pounds
daily in lost wages and produc-
tion. Both strike breakers at
the plant and would-be cus-
tomers at the retail outlets have
been assaulted.
The walk - out commenced
May 10 when management re-
fused to grant wage increases
and fringe benefits, arguing
that since the enterprise was
not making enough to pay divi-
dends to stockholders it could
not afford increased labor costs.
Inst ea d, management sug-
gested it be allowed to institute
a series of efficiency dismissals,
regardless of seniority, in order
to put the plant on a more pro-
ductive plane.
Four Cabinet Ministers -
Mordecai Namir, Mrs. Golda
Meir, Pinchas Saphir and Peretz
Naphtali - have attempted to
mediate, but failed. Premier
David Ben-Gurion has unof-
ficially pressed the leader of

the strike, Yoseph Almogi, sec-
retary of the Haifa Labor
Council, to modify the strikers'
demands, but also to no avail.
Although the Histadrut exec-
utive council was reluctant in
the beginning to back Almogi,
it has now thrown its weight
behind the strikers.
Meanwhile, Hans M o 11 e r,
principal stockholder at ATA
and its manager, has grown
more insistent on his demands
for efficiency dismissals, re-
gardless of the outcome of the
strike. New mediation efforts
by Cabinet members are con-
sidered likely.
