Fourth The Socialist party whim in office shall always and everywhere, um. til this present system of, wage slavery is utterly abolished, make the answer, to this question its guiding rule of conduct. Will this legislation advance the interests of the working class and the workers in their class struggle against capitalism? If it does, the Socialist party is for it. If it does not, the Socialist party is absolutely opposed to it. Fifth In accordance with this principle, the Socialist party pledges itself to conduct all the affairs of the State in such a manner as to promote the interest of the working class; but 'while making this pledge, we affirm that municipal ownership under capitalism is, and can be, of no practical benefit of thev working class.

Therefore, we appeal to all workers, whether of shop, mine, office or farm, to study the principles of Socialism; to vote with their class at all elections until they overthrow the power of capitalism, abolish industrial classes in society and inagurate the cooperative common wealth based on the fundamental principles of justice, guarded by direct legislation; to every Worker the full social product of his or her labor. y- COUni'V RESOLUTIONS.
