The President, Dr. Marx, opened the meeting with some remarks 
about the system of indirect election. 

Citizen Rdser: We have received a request to send a delegate to the 
Democratic Congress to be held in Berlin on the 26th of this month.? 
In this connection, however, the question arises whether the 
Workers’ Association should send someone separately or together 
with the Democratic Association. At the last committee meeting of 
your Association decision was taken in favour of the former 
alternative, namely to act independently, but it remains for the 
general meeting to give its approval and in connection with such 
acceptance it is essential that the question of cost should be taken into 
account. Therefore I move: 

That we elect a delegate to represent us alone, and that we levy a 
voluntary contribution to cover the expenses. 

The motion was adopted and the contributions fixed at a 
minimum of one silver groschen.... 

* Citizen Beust was proposed and elected delegate to the Congress 
in Berlin. 

The President, Dr. Marx, and the Vice-President, Citizen Roser, 
were confirmed in their official positions by the meeting...
