Nearly $10,000 have already been raised by a committee of more than 100 that is actively at work here to raise $100,000 among the quarter of a million Jews, to provide aid for the rabbis of Russia. The Lubawitscher Rebbe (Rabbi Joseph Schneursohn), repeatedly mentioned as having been in communication with those arrested in Russia, who is now in Chicago, will remain here another fortnight in order to aid the drive.
All of the Jewish congregations of Chicago will be asked to contribute, it was announced today by S. B. Komaiko, who with Bernard Horwich president of the Public State and Superior State Banks, are co-chairmen of the committee in charge of the drive.
