ton adopted by National Convention of Retor
mers in the year 1915.
The Congress is constituted as follows.
lst. Its members are elected annually bv So
cietles OF men or women, who subscribe 10 oil
these principles. viz That all men are created
equal, and that they are endowed by their creator
with certain inalienable rights, among which are,
first the right to life and liberty; second, right 10

elements as shall be sufficient to provide them

ton from society.

TO one representative, ana to one additional rep
resen'ative for every additional fifty members.
Bird. Every session OF the Industrial Congress
shall continue for seven days or more.
4h The laws or resolutions of the Congress
being intended to embody and represent the COL
iecuve Intelligence of the great producing and
other useful classes ofthe country, will be airi-
sorry and rec0mmeaac'ory only, having all the
moral force which may dwell in their truth and
wisdom, and no other.
The Congress meets on the first Wednesday
Of June in each year. There have already been
four annual sessions, at Boston, New York, Phi
ladclphia, and Cincinnati; and on the first We'd
nesday OF June next June 5th) the fifth Con-
gress will meet at Chicago, Illinois.
The article that the Congress shall continue
in session al least seren days, is TO secure full de-
liberation on subject which mas CONE up for ac-
ton, and to prevent hasty and unwise proceed
ings.
1t is customary for the Congress to admit a.
honorary memb rs of the Congress, all person,
in attendance of good moral character known to
be in favor OF all the free and equal rights o. Man
as contained in the first article. Such Ii luorary
members have equal rights with the regular del
egaies, to debate but not to vote. TAC o i2Ct in
restricting votes to regular delegates is not ouly
to preserve the representative character of the
Congress, but also TO prevent undue advantages
being taken in excited TINES by the mass votes
of particular eighborhoods to the prejudice OF
the people at distance, who arc represented by
delegates.
By a rue adopted al tie New York session, It
was resolved that the delegates, to cniitle them
TO admission as voting nemb rs of the Congress.
should beeected at east ten DAYS before the com
mencemert Of the Congress. The objact Of this
rule was to secure fair rcpras pDfati1n.
The sessions of the Ind strial Congress have
been we'll attended, and their proceedings hay.
cxcrted good influence on public senlin Mt.
Please call attention to this b CT. There IS
yet time for the formaion Of re'arm sociati s, =
that they may choose deegst and be represan-
te in the next Congress. Bat even if delegates
be not chosen individuals whose hearts are nigh
in the cause, should attend the session Of IN
Congress and take part with their brother re!or-
merS. ours, &C.
