If holidays were increased, earnings would be diminished and the majority of which have already found place in some platforms a new platform, which neither the German nor French Socialists would recognize, At the last in- ternational Socialists’ convention the members were unable to agree among themselves upon a plat- form, since which time each group of Socialists undertakes it- self to decide what Socialism is.
