tion they must agitate for universal Suffrage In
countries where 1t does not already exist, ana
where 1t exists they must direct legislation and
government to liberty and equality, the develop
ment and production and the general welfare.
Workmen must also combine so as to be able to
treat With employers on equal terms Each trade,
IL Is suggested, should have q local union, which
should be af1lliated TO higher union OF the same
trade, and an international congress should be
held yearly, composed OF delegates OF tho Inter-
national corporations and OF the National untOns
