Bonner committee appointed at the Chicago meeting to
investigate the affairs Of the Secretary made their report
In their report the committee say From observation,
II Is apparent to your committee that much useless
pense and waste OF labor incurred In the conduct OF the
office repetition OF the work often occurs and the
wretched system adopted to record thd finances of the
association has necessarily created much confusion
where proper and well organized system would have
produced better results at much less cost.
That there was studied neglect of Just demands
and obstinate refusal the part Of the Secretary to
furnish inquiring members with information they were
entitled mt the hands OF the servant Of the association Is
plain from the tenor Of the accompanying communica-
ton Such conduct the part Of an agent Of CONNER
cia firm would result in its bankruptcy from loss OF con-
fdence and such conduct continued would have caused
