Daily Bread

There are those who earn their daily bread by being beggars. Visitors to Palestine remember particularly the beggars who cluster by the old Wailing Wall in Jerusalem.

Last week newsgatherers had it that the Palestine Government intended prohibiting begging in the Holy City. Thus might the beggars' daily bread be made difficult to obtain.

The daily bread of Jerusalem lost flavor last week, when bakers went on strike to reduce their working hours.

News of the beggars' dilemma, the bakers' strike, was partly disseminated by the Davar, Hebrew labor daily, which last week was given a linotype machine, equipped to compose in Hebrew and English, by the National Labor Committee for the Organized Jewish Workers in Palestine, headquarters in New York City.
