The platform in full follows: “If we, the workers, are to enjoy freedom and embraee our full oppor- tunities in the new nation which is emerging out of the suffering and sacrifice of the great world conflict now closed, and if we are to solve the grave industrial and political prob- lems which confront us today, it be- hooves labor to formulate its own pro- gram of fundaniental social, economic and political change and form a polit- ical organization. If we are to es- cape from the decay of civilization, we must insure that which is present- ly to be built is a social order not based on fighting but on fraternity; not on competitive struggle for the means of bare life, but on deliberately planned co-operation in production and distribution by and for all who participate with hand or brain; not on the inequality of riches but on a systematic approach toward a healthy equality of material circumstances for every person born in the world. “We, the workers of North Dakota, therefore favor as the tentative plat- form of the organization the follow- ing program: 44-HOUR WEEK SOUGHT FOR WORKERS “1. The unqualified right of ‘the workers to organize and deal collec- tively with employers through such representatives of their unions as they choose, to be recognized and enforc- ed by appropriate leglslatlve enact- ments. “2. An eight-hour day and 44-hour week in all branches of industry, with minimum rates of pay which, without the labor of mothers and children, will maintain the worker and his family in health and comfort and provide a .ce.] COmpetence for old age, with ample provision for recreation and good citi- zenship. “3. The uncompromising support of the workmen’s compensation law, which will, if fairly and prudently ad- ministered, bring to injured workmen, their families and dependents, sure, certain and fair relief regardless of question of fault and to the exclusion of every other remedy without re- course to the courts. “4, Abolition of unemployment by the creation of opportunity for steady work at standard wages through the stabilization of industry and estab- lishment, during periods of depres- sion, of government work on housing, road building, reforestation, recla- mation of arid and swamp lands and development of waterpower plants and of the vast coal properties be- longing to the state. band “5.

Public ownership and operation of railways, steamships, stockyards, packing plants, grain elevators, ter- minal markets, telegraphs and tele- phones and all other public utilities; and the nationalization and develop- ment of basic natural resources, water- power and unused lands, with the repatriation of large holdings, to the end that soldiers and sailors and dis- located workers may find an oppor- tunity for an independent livelihood. “7. Revenues for the paying of pub- lic debt and for the expenses of gov- ernment shall be obtained mainly from taxes on incomes and inheritances and from a system of land value tax- ation which will stimulate rather than retard production. GOVERNMENT INSURANCE FOR ALL IS DEMANDED “8. Continuation of soldiers and sailors’ insurance; extension of such life insurance by the government without profit to all men and women; and the establishment of government insurance against industrial and other accidents, illness, unemployment and old age and upon all insurable forms of property. “9, Complete equality of men and women in government and industry, with the fullest enfranchisement of women and equal pay for men and women doing similar work. “10. Democratic control of industry and commerce for the general good of those who work with hand and brain, and the elimination of autocratic domination of the forces of produc- tion and distribution either by selfish private interests or bureaucratic agents of government. “11. Co-operation with the national government in the establishment of a department of education co-ordinate with other branches of the federal government, in order that a uniform and effective educational system may be developed in which every child will be guaranteed a thorough academic and industrial education and the eco- nomic and academic independence of the teachers be secured. “12. Complete restoration at the earliest possible moment of all funda- mental political rights—free speech, free press and free assemblage; the removal of all war-time restraints upon the interchange of ideas and the movement of people among commu- nities and nations; the liberation of ~all persons held in prison or indicted under charges due to their champion- ship of the rights of labor or their pa- triotic insistence upon the rights guaranteed them by the Constitution. We are unalterably opposed to any: form of conscription or universal mili- tary training in time of peace.” Other resolutions passed indorsed Governor Lynn J. Frazier of North Dakota for president and urged his nomination by the newly formed Na- tional Labor party, urged withdrawal |t for of American soldiers from Russia and Siberia, and demanded, further, that -the United States give no further aid to the “enemies of the Russian repub- lic.” plan of railroad operation.
