COMMUNISTS ADOPT
RADICAL PLATFORM
States Plainly That Party Stands
by Principles Sanctioned by
Russian Soviet Govt.

Chicago, sept. 3.--War and the with
drawal of radical insurgent members
have reduced the total membership of
the National Socialist party in this coun-
try to 42,217, according to a report read
at the convention of the organization to-
day. Before the war the Socialist party
claimed a membership Of 1l7,0OO.
A summary of the more important
business transacted by the convention
follows:
Urged political freedom for ireland and
india
Criticised Congress for declining to
seat Victor Berger socialist. of Mil
waukee, pending an investigation OF his
claims to the Office
Endorsed the plan for a general in
dustrial strike October to compel the
release of Thomas Mooney, Eugene v.
Debs and other prisoners.
Endorsed the cooperative store plan
TO reduce the high cost of living.
Sent kilograms of fraternal greeting to
Debs and other radical leaders impris-
oned during the war.
The delegates applauded for several
minutes when n report was read that
Emma Goldman had been released from
prison two weeks ago.
The new Communist labor party of
America adopted platform after
wrangling nearly all day over the
phraseology. 1t declares the party in
working class parties of all countries
and stands by the principles stated by
the third international program adopted
at Moscow Russia.
Other planks in the platform read:
I'VE fully recognize the crying need
for an immediate change in the So
cial system The time for parleying
and compromise has passed and now it
Is only question whether the full
power remains in the hands of the cap
italist or the working class
THE communist labor party of America
has as It's ultimate aim the overthrow of
the present system of production in which
the working class Is mercilessly exploited
and the creation OF an Industrial republic
wherein the machinery of production shall
be sociaiized so as to guarantee to the
workers the full social value of their
toll.
ITO this end we ask the workers 10
unite with the communist labor party of
America industrally and politically in
the struggle for the conquest of the
state and the powers of government in
the establishment of cooperative COM
monweath"
John Reed of New York presented the
report Of the committee on program and
labor which was said to be the most
radical declaration of principles ever
issued by a political party in this coun-
try. The lengthy document Is said to
have been largely copied from the pro-
gram OF the soviet republic Of Russia.
Action on the report was deferred until
to- m orrow.
