Jerusalem, May 28,
While an increasing number of Arab hawkers are
in the streets and the half-open Arab shops indicate a decline in the strike, out of which such grave dis- turbances have arisen, other Arabs are trying to intensify the stoppage of work.
A manifesto, signed by the members of the Arab Students' Committee, has been published at Nablus, calling upon Arab civil servants to strike.
Up to now forty agitators and strike-leaders have been banished to other towns or placed under police surveillance.
Arab journalists have decided to suspend publica- tion of all Arab newspapers, starting to-morrow.
The Seaforth Highlanders were again in action to-day. They were fired on by Arab bands, near Jinin. They returned the fire, killing at least two Arabs and wounding four. The regiment suffered по casualties.
