Preparing itself ### days of unemployment in Palestine, Histadruth, the Jewish Labor Federation, decided today to complete its campaign for a $250,000 fund for unemployment insurance, towards which $150,000 has already been collected.
During the present prosperity in Palestine, leading industrial and government experts are predicting an economic crisis in the country in the near future. In order to meet the unemployment which the crisis may bring, the Histadruth has proclaimed its campaign for the special unemployment fund.
Of the $150,000 which has already been collected for this fund, the major part came from special dues imposed by the Histadruth upon its 60,000 organized members. Part of it also came from voluntary contributions made by employers as well as by individual Jews who are interested in preventing unemployment in Palestine.
