diate the capitalist party issues of both gold

dustrial spoil of the competitive system; and
be it further
Resolped, That we hereby call upon all wage
earners in mines, mills, farms, factories, camps
and counting-houses to come out from among
the exploiters of labor, letting their capitalist
masters pull their own political chestn uts
from the fire of their destruction and wage a
battle for class emancipation and the CO.
operative commonwealth
