Commonweal started the year with Morris and Sparling as editors and Nicoll as associate editor, while Frank Kitz was printer and publisher for the Socialist League. The annual conference of the Socialist League in May replaced Morris and Sparling with Kitz and Nicoll (though Morris stayed on the Executive Council). After Morris withdrew his personal funding for the paper in November and with the loss of most provincial branches of the League, it became impossible to maintain Commonweal in its weekly format, and in December the paper became a monthly with the new masthead 'A Journal of Revolutionary Socialism'. The format was initially unchanged and Frank Kitz at first remained as publisher, though now from a temporary address.
This marked end of the Socialist League as a national organization and the passing of formal control to the anarcho-communist group.
