5. In places where there is more than one group it is recommended that
a general committee be formed to secure united action. Such committees
shall, however, have no executive power.
6. A Bureau of Information shall be created at Chicago and shall
consist of a secretary of each of the groups of different languages.
It is the duty of such bureau to keep an exact list of all the groups
belonging to the organization and to keep up correspondence with and
between the domestic and foreign groups.
7. Groups intending to join the organization must, after they have
recognized its principles, send their application and list of members
to the groups located nearest to them, whose duty it is then to
forward such application to the Bureau of Information. The groups
shall send a report of the situation to the Bureau of Information at
least every three months.
8. A Congress can be called at any time by a majority of the groups.
9. All the necessary expenses of the Bureau of Information shall be
met by voluntary contributions of the groups.
_Plan for the Propaganda._—The organization of North America shall
be divided into nine districts of agitation, as follows: 1. Canada.
2. District of Columbia. 3. The Eastern States (Maine, New Hampshire,
Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, New
Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware and Maryland). 4. The Middle States
(Ohio, West Virginia, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Wisconsin,
and Illinois). 5. The Western States (Missouri, Iowa, Minnesota,
Nebraska, Dakota, Kansas, Indian Territory and New Mexico). 6. The
Rocky Mountain States (Colorado, Montana, Idaho Territory, Utah
and Nevada). 7. The Pacific Coast States. 8. The Southern States
(Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama,
Tennessee, Mississippi, Arkansas, Louisiana and Texas.) 9. Mexico.
It is recommended to the several districts to organize general
district committees for the purpose of more effective and united
action. It is the duty of these general committees to provide that
whenever practicable agitators shall be sent forth. If there is a lack
of proper agitators in a district the general committee shall inform
the Bureau of Information. This shall be done also when there is a
surplus of workers, so that the bureau shall be able to bring about an
equal distribution of the working elements.
The expenses of the traveling agitators shall be paid by local groups,
or, when these are without means, by the general organization.
_Resolutions._—The following resolutions were offered by A. R.
Parsons:
“In consideration that the protection capitalists are men who, by
excluding the cheap products of labor of competing countries, intend
to make enormous profits, while the free-trade capitalists intend to
make just as large profits by the sale of the cheap products of labor
of other countries; and
