made by bureaus outside the party,
the committee adopted the following
motion:
"That it is the sense of the Nation

lures delivered by Socialist arty
members for Socialist Party locals
should be arranged by the organiza-
ton OF the party upon the usual
terms, and that Socialist Party lee
turers working for non-party ly-
ceums be requested to make a stip-

plication for dates shall not be made
to party locals or branches"

cases the funds be sent through the
National Office. Otherwise, the
party does not get credit for it. It
was also voted to contribute 500 to
the defense of Joseph J. Ettor and
Aruroy Giovannitti. and to issue q
