_Regulations concerning the Press of the Workingmen’s Party
of the United States._—The _Labor Standard_ of New York, the
_Arbeiter-Stimme_ of New York and the _Vorbote_ of Chicago are
recognized as the organs and property of the party. The organs of
the party shall represent the interest of labor, awaken and arouse
class feelings amongst the workingmen, promote their organization as
well as the trades-union movement, and spread economical knowledge
amongst them. The editorial management of each one of the papers of
the party shall be intrusted to an editor appointed by Congress or
by the Executive Committee and the Board of Supervision jointly, the
editor to receive an appropriate salary. Whenever needed, assistant
editors shall be appointed by the Executive Committee with the advice
and consent of the chief editor. The chief editor is responsible
for the contents of the paper and is to be guided in matters of
principle by the declarations of principles of the party; in technical
and formal matters by the regulations of the Executive Committee.
Whenever refusing to insert a communication from a member of the
organization, the editor is to make it known to the writer thereof,
directly or by an editorial notice, when an appeal can be taken to the
Executive Committee. The editor shall observe strict neutrality toward
differences arising within the party till the Board of Supervision
and the Congress have given their decision. For each one of the
three party papers there shall be elected at their respective places
of publication a council of administration of five members, who,
jointly with the Executive Committee, shall appoint and remove the
business manager and his assistants. The council of administration
shall be chosen for one year in the first week of August of each
year. The council of administration shall establish rules for the
business management, superintend the same, investigate all complaints
concerning the business management, redress all grievances, pay
their weekly salaries to the editors and managers, and make a full
report of the status of the paper every three months to all sections
by a circular. The manager is bound to mail punctually and address
correctly the papers; he shall receive all moneys, book them and hand
them over to the treasurer of the council of administration, and he
shall keep the office of the paper in good order; his salary shall be
fixed by the Congress or by the Executive Committee. All sums over and
above the amount of the security shall be deposited in a bank by the
council of administration. The receipts of all moneys from without
shall be published in the paper.
