		After full discussion it was unanimously resolved:—
				That this Special General Meeting of the Clubs of the
			Football League heartily approves the declarations of the
			Management Committee with reference to the importance of
			all professional football players who can do so joining the
			Colours. They fully recognise the serious call of national and
			patriotic duty, and pledge themselves to continue to do
			everything in their power to support the Management
			Committee and other football authorities in encouraging
			recruiting in all phases of national service.

			A letter was read from the British Red Cross Society, in which
		it was set out that as so many footballers have gone to the front, the
		League has really a direct personal interest in the care of the wounded,
		and for this amongst other reasons they earnestly pressed their needs
		upon our kind consideration.

			It was decided that all clubs should do what they could to assist,
		and the Management Committee was empowered to contribute a
		sum out of the Relief Fund, after the close of the season, providing
		it had a balance in hand.

			The Management Committee recommended the payment of third-
		class railway fares, plus the usual hotel expenses, to one representa-
		tive from each club attending the Special General Meeting from the
		Relief Fund account, which was approved.

			A hearty vote of thanks to the President concluded the business
		of the meeting.
