AGRICULTURAL RELIEF 
4. The extension of profit sharing. In the mines, factories, and in agriculture 
the system of ‘working on shares’ is to be extended in place of paying wages. 
The change is to include participation in the management by the workpeople— 
a system of capital-labor partnership (copartnership). (Wages will still be paid 
to some extent,) 
The increase in output from this source alone will be something like 30 per 
cent per hour per worker. Hours of labor will be reduced to eight or less uni- 
versally; and present-day luxuries among the masses will become necessities, 
along with the complete ending of child labor, with increased schooling for the 
children, and women will again become home makers more largely. 
5. The ending of our*monopoly tariff by restoring the protective tariff. This 
policy was recently voted in the Senate—adoption of the McMaster resolution 
by a vote of 56 to 37, counting the pairs. 
6. There will be ended the power trust. As the railroads and the other public 
utilities, such as waterworks, have been brought under control by the people 
through their Government, so the supplving of electricity will be brought under 
control. The vote in the Senate which refused to permit the Senate to investi- 
gate the electrical power companies admitted that concealment of essential facts 
are being sought; plus the starting of a Nation-wide movement to defeat the 
renomination and reelection of the representatives of the power trust. 
7. To achieve the above-described remedies in the people’s behalf for the 
nomination and election of Representatives and Senators who stand for equal 
rights. This Congress is pledged to equal rights, and just ahead is another 
primary election and then in the autumn the general election. 
The "alternative—The alternative to equal rights is world-wide wreckage. 
Humanity is at the crossroads; and our present Congress. isan equal-rights 
Congress!

FEpERAL TRADE SysTEM, IncLupiNGgG CoMMISSION ON EQUILIBRIUM oF PRICES 
A BILL To found the Federal trade system, for the nation-wide self-regulation of competition in trade in 
interstate and foreign commerce, except agriculture, and to include the founding of the commission on 
equilibrium of prices 
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of 
America in Congress assembled: 
DECLARATION OF PURPOSE—COMMISSION ON EQUILIBRIUM OF PRICES 
Section 1. (a) To provide remedies for the unduly low net incomes for the 
agricultural population, now in the eighth consecutive year, and to provide remedies 
for the underconsumption of products from factories, mines, and farms, there 
shall be gauged an equilibrium of prices in interstate commerce. It will be 
nation-wide self-regulation of competition industry in interstate commerce, in 
connection with protection of the public by Government supervision. 
(b) Each year in July, and from time to time thereafter during the rest of the 
12 months, there shall be calculated an equilibrium of the wholesale prices for 
the nation; that is, an equilibrium between the various groups of producers of 
commodities, especially as between the commodities which can be multiplied 
indefinitely, and the output from the soil and the water. 
(¢) The prices of the products of the soil and of the water are to be gauged 
by the law of supply and demand, in connection with unified cooperative market- 
ing, also the possible use of crop insurance—a bounty in lean years, and in fat 
years an opposite system, in combined use year after year. 
(d) The wholesale prices at the mines and factories can be adjusted to the 
prices of the products of the soil and of the water. ] 
(e) The decision as to the relative prices at wholesale for interstate and foreign 
trade shall be by the commission on equilibrium of prices, the membership to con- 
sist of the Secretaries of Agriculture, Commerce, and Labor, also the chairmen of 
the Senate and House Committees on Agriculture, Interstate Commerce, and 
Labor, to serve in three sections—as representatives of the President, Senate, and 
House, decision to be in the agreement of two sections. Each House may instruct 
its committees. 
(f) The methods for regulating competition in the privately owned commerce 
oetween the States and in foreign trade are principally to be nation-wide self-
