in a belt-tightening economic
program intended to combat
inflation which the govern-
ment promulgated last week,
was denounced by coalition
and opposition factions alike
within the Labor federation.
It was the first time, in
fact, that Histadrut stood in
opposition to the Labor-led
government. The COL reduc-
tion was intended to absorb
some IL 600,000,000 from the
economy.
Finance Minister Yehoshua
Rabinowitz warned earlier
that the cycle of rising prices
and increased COL would
have a disastrous effect on
wage earners.
The Histadrut executive
unanimously adopted a reso-
lution opposing any plan to
dilute, postpone or absorb
any or all compensation due
workers for the high cost of
living.

However, he said wage earn-
ers had to undertake their
fair share of the burden.
Police Minister Sholom Mi-
ld revealed that he was the
only minister who did not
support the plan.
He said he abstained be-
cause he feared the "bull-
dozer" economic plan would
crush not only inflation but
also efforts to close the
social gap and raise the liv-
ing standards of the poor.

It is also expected to cause
a 2 to 4 per cent increase in
the prices of locally manu-
factured goods containing im-
ported components.
Histadrut Secretary Gen-
eral Yehuram Meshel de-
manded to know "Why did
the government not impose
taxes on luxuries? Why did
the government refrain from
touching the banks, the in-
surance companies and other
financial enterprises?" He
warned that cutting COL
would have a severe psycho-
logical impact on workers
which the government should
have considered.
Histadrut has not, however,
rejected the rest of the eco-
nomic austerity package
which includes a new corn-
pulsary war loan, a property
tax, higher• tariffs to reduce
imports and new incentives
for export industries.
Rabinowitz had earlier
told the Knesset that his new
program was fair and socially
equitable since it hit the
upper income groups hardest.
