committee of the Communist
Party of Israel.”

The ‘statement continues:
‘The Communist Party of Is-
rael is fighting back bravely
by broad public action. Nine-
ty-two members who are held
by the military for trials be-
fore military tribunals are on
hunger strike to assert their
right to be tried publicly in
a civil court.

“Tt is an inspiring fact that,
while the majority of work-
ers under. arrest are Arabs,
the Jewish members of the
Israeli Communist. party are
in the forefront of the battle
for their defense. Defense con-
ferences in Nazareth, Jerus-
alem, Haifa, Tel Aviv and
other places have committed
themselves to quotas of a de-
fense fund of £110,000  Is-
raeli.”

this appeal that the LPP is

per hour basic wage increase.
The IBEW makes it clear that
even with such a_ wage in-
crease. granted, its members,
on the basis of a 35-hour
week, would actually lose
$2.25" per .week in present
