On September 27, a letter from Dr. Dnistryansky was read. This led them to refer the matter of helping Ukrainian students abroad, to Siege Company No. 1, 2in Chicago.

M. Kotsiuk was notified that if District No. 1 does not pay P. Nayda his travelling expenses, while he is transacting business of the organization with Company No. 5 at Wilmington, N J., the executive office in Chicago will pay him from the general fund.

Chief executive Dr. Hrynevetsky has decided to attend the next Siege Convention to be held in 1924 in Philadelphia. Naturally his travelling expenses are to be paid from the general account of the organization.
