The Congress alone has the right of amending, altering or adding to
this constitution, subject to a general vote of all sections, the
result of which is to be communicated to the Executive Committee
within four weeks.
ARTICLE VII. LOCAL STATUTES. Each section shall chose from its
ranks one organizer, one corresponding and recording secretary, one
financial secretary, one treasurer and two members of an auditing
committee. All these officers shall be elected for six months, and the
Executive Committee shall take timely measures to make the election
of newly formed sections correspond with the general election of
the whole party. The organizer conducts the local propaganda and is
responsible to the section.
The organizers of the various sections of one locality shall be
in constant communication with each other in order to secure
concerted action. The secretary is charged with the minutes and the
correspondence. The financial secretary shall keep and make out the
list of members, sign the cards of membership, collect the dues, hand
them over to the treasurer and correctly enter them. The treasurer
shall receive all moneys from the financial secretary and hold them
subject to the order of the section. The auditing committee shall
superintend all books and the general management of the affairs, and
audit bills. All officers shall make monthly reports to the section.
A chairman is elected in every meeting for maintaining the usual
parliamentary order.
The monthly dues of each member shall be no less than ten cents, five
cents of which shall be paid to the Executive Committee. Members being
in arrears for three consecutive months shall be suspended until
fulfilling their duties, always excepted those who are sick or out of
work. Persons not belonging to the wages-class can only be admitted
in a regular business meeting by a two-thirds vote. The result of
every election within the section must be at once communicated to the
Executive Committee.
