 H.-CoNvENTIoNs-TH NATIONAL CON-
 MENTION.
 1. National Conventions of the Party shall take place according to the needs of the times. The National Executive Committee is obliged to have a general vote taken every year before April 15, in order to ascertain whether and when and where National Convention is to take place; but the convention shall not be called to convene before at least four weeks have expired from the publica- tion of the result of such genera. vote.
 3.

They shall, however, be re- imbursed out of the Party treasury so much per member as Is the proportion ate share of each party member in the expenses defrayed for the representa- tion of the entire membership of the Party.

POLITICAL ACTION.

Resolued, To recommend to the mem- bers wherever one or more labor parties are in the field, to support that party which is the most progressive; that is, the platform and principles which come nearest to ours, and at least recognizes the conflict between capital and labor; but members shall not be permitted to participate in the founding of new par ties when there is no well-founded req son to believe the same shall fully rec- ognize our principles.
 With regard to the practical applica- tion of these tactics, be it provided, that if decision has been made by the local Section or District Organization in the premises, it shall be binding upon the members; and no member shall take part in such political movement if the Section or District has decided against it.

THE EIGHT HOUR WORKING DAY.

Whereas, The normal work. day, .. Q. !, the reduction of the hours of labor in proportion to the progress of produc- tion, affords in measure protection against the increasing intensitiveness of exploitation, and is therefore desirable; and
 Whereas, The normal work-day, though the most radical reform possible under the present industrial system, is still only palliative; and
 Whereas, The realization of this de- mand cannot afford lasting safeguard against the pauperization of the masses, in consequence of the perfected division of labor, the progress of invention and the use of machinery, the emancipation of the working people being impossible without fundamental change of the social system, be it
 Resolved, That we urge all members of the party everywhere, and at all times, to take an active part in the eight-hour movement of the trades unions, always keeping in view the above considerations.

Any proposition in the interest of the party submitted by any Section shall be laid before the party by the National Executive Committee for general vote. Within four weeks after the issuance of call for general vote, amendments may be proposed by any Section to any proposition so laid before the party, and such amendments shall then be submitted to the vote, together with the original proposition. The re- suit of the vote must be reported to the National Executive Committee within eight weeks after the call was first is- sued.
 ?. No person shall be nominated as a candidate for any public office unless he has been member of the party at least one year, and has identified himself with the party by active participation in its work. But this provision shall not operate against persons who have

ATTITUDE TOWARDS TRADE UNIONS.

Members are in duty bound to assist in the endeavors of the various eco- homie organizations of wage workers, by entering the ranks of such organza- tions, or to found such organizations as will prevent the economic degradation of the workers and improve their con dition.
 Members are in duty bound to foster our democratic principles in any trades union or K. of L. Assembly in which they may hold membership, in order to enable the members of those organiza- tions to administer their own affairs, to recognize the solidarity of all wage workers, acknowledge the irreconcilable conflict between the exploiters and their victims, making these postulates the basis of their economic movement.

INTERNATIONAL FEDERATION,
 Whereas, The interests of the ex- plotted in their struggle against their industrial achievement are identical throughout all countries; and
 Whereas, The time has come when this solidarity should find expression in an international organization, be it

of the German Section. but that ener- getic action was imperatively demanded in the interest of the party; that when the Board of Supervision remained in. active the New York Section should have called upon it to intervene, but that the action of the New York Sec tion is excusable, because they believed the majority of the Board to be under the influence of the Executive Commit. tee. Though the correctness of this view is disputed by the Board of Super vision, this opinion was entertained and had its effect.
 We also find that the New York Sec. ton might well believe that the Execu. tive was endeavoring to pack the con vention called for Sept. 2S, but how far this apprehension was borne out by the facts we are unable to decide; but we are of the opinion that after the Board of Supervision had suspended both Elk ecutive Committees and itself taken charge of the management of the party, the Board was the only legal party au- thority; that the action of the Board of Supervision in postponing the conven- tion was justified, and Rosenberg, Ger ecke, Hintze and Sauter, as we'll as the Chicago Section, placed themselves out side of the party.

ACTION OF THE NEW YORK SECTIONS.

ACTION OF THE NEW YORK SECTIONS.
 Resolued, That in the judgment of the convention the management of the party by the former Executive was in efficient and highly injurious to the in- terests of the party and of the cause; that the majority of the Executive often acted arbitrarily and in disregard of the minority; that the editorial manage ment of the party journals was prejudi- cial to the party, and the whole conduct of the Executive and of the journals was such as to compromise the party in New York and vicinity, and estrange from it the most progrt asive element of Organized Labor.
 The convention is further of the opin- ion that the Board of Supervision was guilty of a lamentable neglect gin not interfering before and putting stop to this injurious management, whereby the present troubles might have been avoided.
 The convention is further of the opin- ion that the language of the constitu- ton of the party is not sufficiently pre- else to give no room for differing opin- ions as to the theoretical right or wrong
