To secure to the workers the full enjoyment of the wealth they create; sufficient leisure in which to develop their intellectual, moral, and social faculties; all of the benefits, recreation, and pleasures of association; in a word, to enable them to share in the gains and honors of advancing civilization, we demand at the hands of the state:

The establishment of Bureaus of Labor Statistics that we may arrive at a correct knowledge of the educational, moral, and financial condition of the laboring masses;

The adoption of measures providing for the health and safety of those engaged in mining, manufacturing, and building industries, and for indemnification to those engaged therein for injuries received through lack of necessary safeguards;

The enactment of laws to compel corporations to pay their employees weekly, in lawful money, for the labor of the preceding week.

And we demand at the hands of Congress:

The establishment of a national monetary system, in which a circulating medium in necessary quantity shall issue directly to the people, without the intervention of banks;

That the importation of foreign labor under contract be prohibited;

That, in connection with the post office, the government shall organize financial exchanges, safe deposits, and facilities for deposit of the savings of the people in small sums.

We will endeavor to associate our own labors:

To secure for both sexes equal pay for equal work;

To shorten the hours of labor by a general refusal to work for more than eight hours.
