The board feels that it is unfair to keep the men in suspense and not notify them. but few days prior to date of departure. The men who leave may be gone only a short time, or they may be gone indefinitely. These men, in some instances, have business affairs that cannot be arranged in day without detrfment to their interest. No word has been received from the board up to today, only a week prior to the departure.
