508 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!

(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-
