THE PROPOSED MEMBERSHIP REF.
ERENDUMS.

New Windsor local has initiated the
following proposed amendment to our
state party constitution:
Amend section Z of article vi, by add
ing the following words: Provided that
special stamp shall be furnished by
the state secretary at cost, to be used
when any party member may be tenn
porarily unable to pay dues on account
of unemployment. Unemployment shall
mean either sickness, strikes, lockouts
or any other cause beyond the control
of the member. Any member unable to
Fay dues shall notify the financial sec
retary of his organization of such in
ability and the secretary shall affix the
special stamps in the same manner as
the regular dues stamps. The accept
ance Of these stamps by any member
shall in no way act to disqualify such
member from any and all the rights and
privileges of members paying dues. ex-
cept that the organizations shall not be
allowed to report to the state office more
votes cast than the organization has paid
dues for; otherwise the whole vote OF
that organization will be rejected"
The above has been supported by nine
organizations in seven counties, having
a membership of 209, SO 1T will be sub
mitted in thirty days from now, on the
provision of 10 per cent. of membership.
The average dues paid in the last six
months is about 1900.
Notice of this submission first pub
lished on March Z.
Locals Burlington and Fort Collins
seconded the above. but were too late to
consider.
The two proposed referendums to
change the salary of the state secretary
one to $500 and the other to $4,000
per month, have both failed for wanting
seconds.
Fort Collins seconded the $500 rate,
but reported IL too late to be consid-
cred. A. H. FLOATEN,

letter:
Local Philadelphia requests that i'm
mediate steps be taken calculated tc
prevent a repetition of capitalist out
RACES on strikers and comrades in Law
renee, Massachusetts, Shall / send an
official protest to the proper officials?"
On the 9th l received votes by wire
as follows: From Comrades Hartman
Haywood, Hillquit, Irvine and Spargo in
the Affirmative; from Comrade Berger
that no official protest was necessary as
he was to have a congressional hearing
during the week; Comrade O'Hare was
not heard from.
A majority having voted in favor of
sending the protests, l sent out the fol
lowing night letters on Tuesday, the
9th:
"William H. Taft, President, Washing
ton, ID. c.; Eugene n. Foss, Governor,
Boston, Massachusetts,; Mayor Scan
Ion, Lawrence, Massachusetts:
THE Socialist party of America, as
the political expression of the working
class, by action of it's national executive
committee, demands that you use the
power vested in you as the chief execu-
tive of the United States to protect the
workingmen, women and children of
Lawrence, Massachusetts,, from the bru-
tai violence of the lawless officials. 1t
is monstrous to wreak vengeance upon
helpless children. We protest against it.
We demand that the constitutional rights
of the strikers be respected. And in
your capacity as official representative
of the capitalist class of the United
States we call your attention to the fact
that such barbarous methods tend to i'm
pede the progress of a peaceful and in
telligent political and industrial solution
of the struggle between the capitalist
class and the working class. An impera-
tive message from you to the mayor of
Lawrence and to the governor of Massa-
chusetts would go tar to cause these
atrocities to cease.
