In regard to the Business Agency
Fund, it remains in tact, and has not
been perverted as has been charged
by the enemies of the order; not even
has the State Business Agent been
called upon to use any of it to pay
overdrafts, or deficiencies which was
thought might occur in the regular
order of business when the Agency
was established. In a meeting of the
Executive Committee to-day, upon
examination of the books of the
Secretary-Treasurer and . Business
Agent, we find them all correct, and
the charges that any of the funds of
the Alliance had been used for polit
ical purposes are utterly false. Also
we wish to warn you against the
mauy other charges and publications
being made about the Alliance. The
organization has no connection what
ever with the many wild schemes
that are being charged against it.
Now in conclusion allow us to
urge upon you again that we must
keep the organization intact, and
push on the work of co-operation, till
the evils of which we complain are
righted, aud the . object p for which
we ar striving are accompli.hwl
Such in our opinion are th t-i-pecial
dutieaof the hour ror ail Albanie
men, and we pledge ourwdves anew
to this end aud call ujon vou all
to continue the work of the Alliance
in the same spirit.
