Work, and wealth resulting therefrom, should be equitably distributed over the population.
As a means to this end, we demand the enactment of the following measures:
1. A maximum of 48 hours working week, with the retention of all existing holidays, and Labour Day, May 1, secured by law.
2. The provision of work to all capable adult applicants at recognised trade union rates, with a statutory minimum of sixpence per hour.
In order to remuneratively employ the applicants, Parish, District, Borough, and County Councils to be invested with powers to:
(a) Organise and undertake such industries as they may consider desirable.
(b) Compulsorily acquire land; purchase, erect, or manufacture buildings, stock, or other articles for carrying on such industries.
(c) Levy rates on the rental values of the district, and borrow money on the security of such rates for any of the above purposes.
3. State pensions for every person over 50 years of age, and adequate provision for all widows, orphans, sick, and disabled workers.
4. Free secular, moral, primary, secondary, and university education, with free maintenance while at school or university.
