 The war being over we demand the elimination of all military train ing from all educational institutions except the regularly established gov ernmental military and naval school. Equal Rights for Men and Women
 Complete equality of men and women in government and industry, with fullest enfranchisement of women and equal pay for men and women doing equal work, limitation dustry, prevention of night work and the establishment of proper standards for the protection of their health and safety throughout the Union. 8a In view of the fact that the decisions of the Supreme Court have retarded the progress of humanitarian legislation in the United States, as is especially evidenced by the recent Child Labor decision, we favor the curbing of the power of the Supreme l Court to declare acts of Congress un- constitutional.

 representation or LaDOr Representation of labor in propor- tion to it's voting strength in all de- partments of government and upon all government commissions and agencies of demobilization and recon struction.
 War Referendum
 No war shall be declared by the government prior to a referendum vote of all voters of the country. Universal Military Training We are unequivocally opposed to any form of universal compulsory military training in time of peace. Taxation to Finance Increased Governmental Activities To provide sufficient revenue to iquidate the public debt arising out of the war, to carry on all public works and improvements and to ren- der financial assistance to certain projects upon which the economic future of the country and the we'll being of the people will necessarily depend, we favor (a) 100 per cent. tax $1O0,OO0, and in addition, taxation to eliminate excessive inheritances, (b) a progressive increase in taxes upon all profits, unearned increments and incomes, (c) the use of public profits from nationally-owned utilities and resources, and the use of revenue derived from a system of taxation on land values which will stimulate rather than retard production.
 World Peace and International League of Workers
 We indorse the program of peace aims and guarantees for world de- mocracy contained in the IA points enunciated by our President, Woodrow Wilson. In accordance with these principles, we demand the application of the principle of self-determinatio to Ireland. We further demand that our government refrain from inter fering in the internal affairs of Rus sia or any other country, and the immediate withdrawal of the armed forces of the United States from Rus sia. We favor the efforts to make the peace of the world permanent by the establishing of League of Nations. Supplementing the League of Ma tions, and to make that instrument of international democracy vitally effec- tive for humanity, we favor a league of the workers of all nations pledged and organized to enforce the destruc- tion of autocracy, militarism and economic imperialism throughout the world and to establish an international labor standard to bring out world wide disarmament and open diplo- macy to the end that there shall be no more kings and no more wars.
