The dissolution of all counter-revolutionary military organizations that did not remain faithful to the Constitution, and their replacement with organizations recruited from the masses of tried republican population, in particular workers, salaried employés and organized civil servants, without favour to any class whatever. In this reorganization the rights of all troops and organizations that have remained faithful shall remain intact.” [21] Retreat of the Berlin troops to the line of the Spree; the lifting of the state of siege; no attack on armed workers, particularly in the Ruhr; negotiations with labour organizations with the view of recruiting of workers in the troops of Prussian safety police.

[35] Bismarck was always against the granting of salaries to members of the Reichstag. He hoped thereby to prevent making of politics a career. The members of the Reichstag since 1906 have been receiving compensation which, at first fixed at 3,000 marks a year, was increased in 1918 to 5,000. National Assembly members were paid 1,000 marks a month. The new Reichstag in one of its first sessions decided (1) that its members are to receive 1,500 marks a month; (2) that those of its members who, in the intervals of the Reichstag’s sitting, worked on committees, should receive 50 marks a day. In addition, members of the Reichstag have the right to travel free on all railroads of the Reich.
