Marx submits his draft Rules,? which are discussed. 

Article 1 adopted with a minority of 2 against. Article 2 adopted 
unanimously; also Art. 3, Art. 4, Art. 5 and Art. 6. 

The draft Rules are therefore adopted without amendments. The 
Rules of the Communist League are read out by the Secretary. After 
hearing the Rules the members newly to be admitted declare that 
they enter the Communist League. 

Marx proposes that all members shall give their names and 
addresses. This is discussed and it is finally resolved that every 
League member shall give the name by which he is known here, and 
his address. 

Schapper proposes to add another five members to the President 
and Secretary, so as to form the circle authority of Paris. 

One is to be elected from each of the four communities. The 
elections to be postponed to the next meeting. 

Schapper gives a report on the Central Authority. On Schapper’s 
proposal resolved that everybody who speaks rises and removes his 
hat. 

On Marx’s proposal the Central Authority will give at the next 
meeting a report on the situation of the League in general. 

Born, who was sent to give a report on the meeting in the manége, 
returns after three-quarters of an hour and describes the miserable 
state of this society.**? The next meeting will be held next Saturday at 
8 o’clock, café Belge, Rue Grenelle St. Honoré.
