The Committee on Resolutions has reported to this house preambles and resolutions as the platform of this Congress or the consensus of the opinion of this Congress. There were a great many resolutions. There was one presented by Mr. Sinic-in. 'J‘hey were all considered and such portions of them as we thought we could, within the proper limitations of time, subject and space. incorporate in the report were so incorporated. I cannot pretend to remember exactly the details of each resolu- tion. and l do lb'l remember exactly what Mr. Hartman's resolu- tion was. but I want to call your a tention again to the point of unit 1' nude li_\ Mr, Jones. lt stttli‘ to me we should dispose of this committee report. and that (writhing else is out of order until that is done. bit". line: it *.\‘: Mr. (hairinan, not having; heard the report of the Com- i: :tttt en lit-solutions read and in. .-;nowing what reference is vomit to the rtsolutions presented by me, I desire to have the report reread. ( n HUM/KN Mtudx'li: I will state to tlte gentleman that the committee and the ‘il‘ltllZlQ are not re~ponsilile tor lll> not knowingr the report of the menu‘ittw. 'l'he report \\a~ read and we have not time to no bar}. with it. b Mic. Hat; at}. l llt‘wl alruwd thi time of the conference: I don't think I remarks until we dispose of these resolutions and then present his thought to the audience. I may say to him that the committee did not think it wise to embody it in the resolutions. MR. l'IAR't‘MANZ You are voting on resolutions this body does not know anything: about. I want them to know somethingr of the purpose of the ideas presented in my resolution yesterday. D12. Trtutztitoonz You were not here when the resolutions were read and these people were. (At this point, in response to repeated calls for the question, a 'z'iztt r'orc vote was taken on the adoption of the report of the Committee on Resolutions, and it carried unanimously.) The question then recurring to the adoption of Mr. Simons' resolution, it was seconded by one of the delegates and the Chair- man called for remarks ttpon the motion. SliCRli'l‘AltY ROYAL L. I\IIZI ixm': Mr. Chairman, I did not intend to speak upon this or any other resolution, and I have no resolution to present, bttt I would like to suggest that some one prepare a substitute resolution embodying this thought. of the recognition of the industrial causes of war as one of the avoidable causes of war. I should hesitate to say, as the resolution does. that it is the only cause of war. but I think it should be recogn nized as one of the. avoidable causes of war. I should also like to see in this substitute resolution a statement recognizing the magnificent work of the workers who are internationally organized, in bringing about peace. (Applause) Personally I should have to vote against the resolution as presented, but I should be very sorry to do so. I am sorry I have not a substitute resolution to present, and hope that time may be given to prepare a substitute resolution which will recognize amongr other causes of war that of industrial causes; and also recognize that which I believe is one of the most important in the factors for bringing about peace, namely that of the organizations of the workers of the world. Mk. A. M. SIMUNS: If there is any way by which this recognition that Mr. Melendy speaks of can be secured, I am certain the socialists and It‘l.1t"tiit r wt our tire inmates in nw life.
