A drive to raise $10,000,000 for the Histadruth in Israel was formally launched here this week at the annual conference of the National Council for Labor Palestine. Campaign leaders from Greater New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and other eastern states attended the parley, which was held at the Hotel McAlpin.
Isaac Hamlin, secretary of the Council, reported that this year the drive resulted in raising $5,000,000 which is $1,500,000 more than was raised the previous year. The current campaign will continue through 1949.
