We shall comment briefly on this expenditure. This represents the disbursement of Cash for the clerical work involved to efficiently transact the volume of business. The major expenses included in this account may be enumerated as follows: Clerical Labor Telephone-Telegraph and Cables Stationery and Supplies Traveling Expenses It should be specifically understood that there were no salaries paid to any official of this Committee for services rendered. In other words, all services by the officials were gratuitously rendered. The traveling expense is constituted chiefly of expense incurred by the Executive and General Committeemen attending conferences, etc. A number of these conferences were held in Chicago, Illinois. In our opinion, this amount was certainly kept at a minimum, considering the amount of business transacted. Respectfully submitted, (Signed) Edward R. Burt and Company Certified Public Accountants.
