Resolved, That our first duty is now to pro
vide as speedily as possible system Of general
organization In accordance with the PRINCIPLES
herein more specifically set forth, and that each
branch Of industry shall be left to adopt its own
particular form OF organization, subject only to
such restraint as may be necessary to place
each organization within line, so as TO act il
h. IN all
fare OF the whole as well each Of the parts,
and that it is the imperative duty of every man
in each and every branch Of industry to aid In
the formation Of such labor organizations in his
respective branch, and 20 connect himself there

Resolved, That in cooperation, based upon
just financial and revenue laws, we recognize a
sure and lasting remedy for the abuse Of the
present industrial system, and that until the
laws OF the nation can be remodelled 90 az to
recognize the rights Of men instead Of classes,
the system Of cooperation carefully guarded
will do much to lessen the evils Of our present
! system We, therefore, hail with delight the
organization of cooperative stores and work
shops, and would urge their formation in every
section of the country, and in every branch Of
business.
Resolved, That We pledge our individual
and undivided support to the sewing women
and daughters of toll in this land. and would
solicit their hearty cooperation, knowing az
we do, that no class Of industry Il ~ much N
need OF having their condition anel;oratea y
the factory operatives, sewing women. etc. o.
this country.

! Resolved, That we would urgently call the
attention of the industrial classes to the subiec,
Of tenement houses and improved dwellings
believing It 70 be essential to the welfare Of the
whole community that reform should be eff
fected in this respect, as the experience Of the
past has proven that vice. pauperism and crime
ed and lily vensiiated go hinge Of the poor, and
