Workingmen’s Assoctation 1s printed in the London Zimes of the 27th ult, The @rigin Is traced back to 1849, when a aniall band of Gorman workmen expelled from France combined sogether in Loudoit. AiM OF THB COMMONIS om, In November, 1847, a Gernian Communist Col 7 ference was heid in London, at which Dr, Karl Marx, then residing at Brussels, was present, Ab that Conference the old Communistic theories were thrown overboard and a manifesto of the Commu. mist party, drawn up by Karl Marx and Freaerick Engels, substituted, In that manifesto. it was stated:— The Communists are no particular party £ contradigtino- Mon from other workingmen’s parties. Thoy have no in- ferests separate from the interests of the whole proletariat, PAs setup no particular Frinciples according to which the to mode! the proletarian movem: ey dintingnis! vem, on the one hand, from other workingmen’s par Ses vy the commun interests—which are Independ- ‘ent of nationality—of the whole class In the various national, les; on the other hand, by representing the interests of ¢ommon movemont at th? ditterent stages of develop ment through which the struggle between the wages laborera po ee hasto pass. The immediate aim of the yuniste is the same us that of the other proletarian par- Hes—ahg overthrow of the rule of tho eapltallsts by the acqu!- sition of political power, THE PRACTICAL MEASURES @uggested as applicable in the most advanced coun - tries were—the abolition of private property in sand, centralization of credit in the hands of the Strate by means of a national bank, centrajization of ‘@e means of transport in the handa of the state, mational workshops, the reclamation and improve ment ofland on a common plan, and the gratuitous eucation of all the children, The whole manifesto ‘Was intended to upsct the, till then, prevailing no- Mon that society could be reformed by the pet plan @f any clever thinker, and to show that it must bo the work of the sutfering population Wnelf, The manifesto was to bo printea in seve- eal languages. At the same time the fra- ®ernal democrats made preparations to hold a Public International Congress at Brussels in the eourse of thy following year, to which the democracy @f Enrone was to be invited, but the revolution of February prevented both these designs. After the @ownfall of the revolution an attempt was made to wring about an international allianco among the exiled revolutionists, but it came to nothing. Few Were content to cnter upon @ weary propagandist eampaign, and, laboring under the stigma of a de- feat, they had no followers, nor was there any QTospect for present operations, A new generation @€ workmon was required to undertake tho task, and when it was undertaken it was done unpro- meditatediy. TNE '63 MOVEMENT, In 1863 a meeting was hold in London to discuss ‘abe practicability of an international workingmen’s alliance, Mr. George Odger was requested to think the matter over an’ consider on what basis such an Gillance could be founded, but the thing came on 80 anexpectedly, the time was so short and the matter ef no great an tmportanco tat little more could bo fone except to make an agreement that an interna- Monal alliance should be formed. Mr. Odger dwelt em the necessity of putting a stop to diplomatic in- tay establishing universal peace an: protecting bor against the encroachments of capital. ‘he chen had no objection, but preserred con Gning their etforts for tlie moment tu the liberation sf Poland. A committee, consisting of W. Cremer, joiner; J. Egitngton, carpenter; I. Grant Facey, ter; O. Goddurd, bookbinder, and G. Odger, losmaker, was appointed to consider the matter, and em bas a future meeting. The commitiee in- mructed Odgor to draw up an adaress to the work- aa of Fraace, of which tue following 19 an ex- THE ADDRESS TO FRANCE.

HOW TO EFFECT A THOROUGH ORGANIZATION. To hring about an efective international union Combination was the object of the International jation, But how, its authors asked, couid ey iuifil that great mission with a foreign policy, pursuit of criminal designs, playing upon national Etce and squandering in piratical wars the le’s blood ana treasure? Their reply was that uty was incumbent on working men themselves master the mysteries of international politics; to wateh the diplomatic acts of their respective gov- ments; to counteract them if necessary, and to mounce them when unable to prevent ilem, and vindicate the simple laws Of morals and justice, which ought to govern tho relations of private indl- ‘avails, as the rules paramount of the intercourse @ nations.

THR WORK OF PROPAGANDA AND ORGANIZATION did not progress quite so fast as was at first hoped, The depatations were well received by the trade societies, but they asked time to consider, The Engish members of the Counetl had their hands full with the newly established Reform League, no less fan ‘ourteen of \nem being on the Connell of the Lea yet yas considered a matter of mor hy the ie, fad te fe oriaddy jay the emanolpation me iinmediat ty tumate it wont 8 class, for which the vote wes ty surnish alever. Meanwhile there had been a quarrel in Paris, The Council had appointed Lefort, of Paris, to defend the association in tho Freach press, and the workmen asserted that Leiort was a bourgeois republican who would compromise the association, They de- nied the right of the Council to interfere in thelr own affair, and they repudiated the patronage of Lefort. The Council had acted on the advice of Le Lubez; but when Tolain and Fribourg came to Lon- £8 to explain tue appointment was rescinded, Le ubez resigned, and the Italians seized upon toils ag AN opportunity to withdraw from the Council, because their presence there was said to be dis- leasing to Mazzint. Besides this the Belgian gov- Ernment had passed an Alicn act which prevented au International Congress being held at Brussels, Ivwas therefore resolved, in May, 1865, to hold @ conference in London preparatory toa Congress in 1866, THE SEPTRMBER CONFERENCES. The Oonferenve met m September. Thero wero ten delegates present from the Continent, The Swiss reported that considerabic progress had been made; the Belgians that the prospect was good, but that their countrymen were yet young in the Orns the Parisians complained that they were hampered by police restrictions, and that a public Congress outside France, Where they could speak frecly, was indispensable for the progress of the association in France. The quest:on who should be admitted gave rise to @ great controversy. The Freach were for admitting individual memoers to speak aad vote; the Englisn insisted that none but properly elected delegates from aMiated societies shouid be allowed to take part. The Englisn proposition was ultl- mately carried. lt was further decided that the Ponecor should meet on the Orst Monday mm Sep- tember, 1866, at Geneva, The questions agreed to as the PROGRAMME OF THE CONGRESS W&RE:—~ First, the organization of the association; second, a com- bination of efforts by means of the association in the differ les betwoen labor and capital; third, trades? veir paat, present and future; fourth, co-operative labor; firth, reduction of the hours of 1abor;' sixth, femal and children’s labor; seventh, the re-establishment of Poland, entire and indepenient, ‘The last question gave rise to a great controversy, SIX umenainents were moved to eliminate the ques- tion from the programme, but rejected. The Paris delegates were for avoiding poiitical questions, and Mr, Qdger reminded them that Poland had fur- nished the occasion for the establishment of the association, and that the Conference must stand by the Polish cause. The question was retamed, AT GENEVA sixty delegates assembled, of whom seventeen were French and seven from London; the rest were Swise. Of the London delegates Lawrence repre- sented the London Satlors’ Association and Dupont the London French branch of the association. The other societies had contributed to the expense of the Congress and leit it to the Council to appoint delegates. The Council delegates wero Carter, Oremer, Eccarius, Inug and Odger. The resolutions ot the Geneva Vonzress form tpe platform of the International As @ preliminary 10 — practical measures it was resolved that a general inquiry into the conditioa of the working classes of ail couniries should be made respecting rate of wages, hours of lavor, &c. This inquiry has not heen made yet, bas it 18 to be made shortly. Tho second question was the limitation of the hours of labor, It was proposed by the Council tuat eight hours should be the legal limit of the working day. ‘Toiain protested that such a resolution could not be passed, because it would interfere with tne liberty of contract, Tne Swiss delegates were rather aston- ished. They were under the impression that if they voted the resolution they must at once act up to it, and that would deprive them of a third of their scanty Wages. Bot when the Huglish delegates ex- Plained that it was only a question of agitation and that it would take tle to reduce the hours of labor gradually trom what they then were in Switzerland to eight a day, but that in the mean- lume they must seize every opportunity to reduce the nours of labor, they voted for the resolution, On the question of ILDREN'S LABOR JUVENILE AND CF the following was resolved :— ‘The Congreta considers the tendency of modern tndustry to make cul! tren and young persons of both sexes co-operate fn the great work of sdcial production asa progressive, sound and lezitinate tondency, aithough under the domination of capitul it bas become an ‘abomination. They onzht to be di- vVidod into three claszos, to be treated divlerently--the trst class to range from nine to tweive, the second from thirteen to fiiteen ani the third to comprise the ages of sixteen and seventeen years, We propose that the empioyment of the first class in any workshop or housework be iegally restri to two, that of ‘the second to four and that of the third to hours.’ For the third class there must be a break of least one hour for meals or relaxation, No parent and no employer ought to be allowed to use juvenile labor, except when combined with education. By education we understand three things, Firstiy, mental education; second, bodily education, suoh as is given in schools by hastics and by military exercise; thirdly, technological (rain- ig, which imparts the general principles of ail processes of proJuction and simultaneously ivitiates the child and young ereon inthe practical use and handling of the elementary trumenta of all trades, A gradual and progretaive course of mental, eymnastic and technological training ought to cor. respond with the classification of the juvenile laborers. Tho costs of the technological achools ought to be partly met by the sale of their products, The'combination of pad produc- tive labor, mental education, bodily exercise and polytechnic {raining will raise the working class far above the level of the higher and middle classes, (€O-OPBRATION, On the question of co-operation the following “resolution was passed :— It {s the business of the International Workingmen’s Asso- ciation to combine and generalize tne spontaneous move- ments of the working classes, but not to dictate or impose any doctrinary system whatever. The Congress shall, there- fore, prociaim no special system of co-operation, but mit iteelt to the enunciation of @ few general principles:—1. We oknowledge the co-operative movement as one of the tran forming forces of the present society based upon class tagonism, Ite great merit je to practicady show that the Provent pauperizing and despotic system of the subordl- nation of labor to capital can be superseded by the republican and beneucent system of the association of free and equal producers, 2. Itestricted, hor to the dwartish forms into which individual wages slaves can e It by thelr ‘forts, the yystem will never in C& pitalistic society. ert sccial production into one large and harmonlous sysvem of free co-operative labor general social changes are wanted—changes of the general condition of society never to be realized, anve by the transfer of the organized forces of society, viz., the State power from cap.talists and landlords to the’ producers ihem- belves. ON THE QUESTION OF TRADES UNIONS it was resolved that in the past they had contented themegsives with the question of wages, but that of late they had taken part m political movements, and that in fature they must learn to act deliberately @5 organizing ceutres of the working class in the broad interest of Its complete emancipation. They must couvince the world at large thar their efforts, far from beige narrow and seifish, aim at whe eman- cipation of the downtrod:en militons. OLHER IMPORTANT TOPICS. Resolutions were passed in favor of direct taxa- tion, the aboliuion of standing armies, the indepen- dence of Poland. The question of the influence of religion was raised by the Freuch, but rejected asa question with which the assoctation had nothing to do, A great deal of the time of that Congress was taken up with the rules and regulations, THE FALL OF THE PARIS COMMUNE A STIMULANT, During the next twelve months a dozen other London trade societies joined, and a few more since. Jnall only three have seceded on account of the Council meddling with politics; none since the fall of the Commune, The fall of the Commune has, on the contrary, it Is alleged, acted as a sumulant. Branches have recently been es- tablished in many towns in the north of England, Irish branches are in the course of formation, and the establishment of an English Council, sepurate from the General Vonnell, has been resolved upon. THE COMPLETA EMANCIPATION OF THE WORKING CLASSES. The association aeclares its object to be the same to-day a3 seven years the “complete emancipa- on of the working class’’—that is to say, the aboli- Uon of wages lavor by trausforming the present moe of production into one of co-operative produc: Hon, by the tramsiormation of the iand and other means of labor into common property through State agency. ‘Ihe “nationalization” of the lend 13 put forth as one of the oy Practical ate, SERIOUS ACUIDENT TO EX-GOVERNOR BWANN'S NEPHEW, Yesterday afternoon Mr, Charles Swann, a nephew of Governor Swann, of Maryland, was rua over by § mail wagon in Exchange ‘place, Jetsey Oity, and seriously injured, He was taken into Taylor’s Hotel and was afterwards removed to New York ‘The driver of the wagon oifered to surrender him. rel{ to the authorities, but’ as the bystanders all declared he was not in fault ho was noi molested.
