Your committee on consolidation beg
leave to further report as follows:
/. We recommend that whore the Nation
al Farmers Alliance and Industrial Union
has state organizations where the National
Farmers Alliance is organized, the presi-
dents of such state organizations are re-
Spectfully requested TO use their efforts to
promote feelings Of fraternity between the
two organizations and TO effect consolida-
tiOn where possible.

tionsl Alliance is strong, and where we
have no state organizations, that the ma
tional president 60 or commission some
one to visit their state meeting, to present
the question of consolidation.

committee be made standing committee,
without pay, to issue an address to all
kindred organizations, with view to effect
ing consolidation. and further, to answer
inquiries from those desiring to consolidate,
and that the reform press be asked to ad-

The following resolution by Brother
Dean, of New York, was received and
adopted:
The importance of maintaining sub
ordinate Alliances cannot be Overestimated,
as all power, all revenue by which educa-

staying away from a single meeting. In
order to secure this feeling among the mem
bers, the state lecturer recommends:
/. That each sub-organization secure
sufficient number of Alliance manuals tC
supply each member with copy that he o.
she may post themselves perfectly on par
liamentary law and usage.
2. That the members observe that M
question be allowed to be entertained by
the presiding officer except in strict con

practice all our members will become edu
Gated parliamentsrians. Too much inn
portance cannot be given this branch Of on
education, and when you once become in

become intensely interesting. Every mem
ber should be required to express himsel
on subjects.
3. Copies Of bills introduced in the stat
Legislature and Congress will be Furnished

discussed. In the discussion Of thes
measures, it is advisable TO sometimes hol
