4. SUGGESTIONS FOR THE ORGANIZATION OF A GENERAL INDUSTRIAL GROUP ON A
WORLD BASIS.

a. The general industrial group, or general occupational group, would
be a major subdivision of the world's industrial life. All of those
producers who were engaged in like activities would be classed
together, and the number of these world industrial groups would be
determined as a matter of administrative convenience. The producers
of the world might, for example, be divided into the following major
industrial groups: agriculture, the extractive industries,
manufacturing, transport, trade, housekeeping, and general
(miscellaneous) workers. Some such economic grouping of producers
would include all who are employed in producing goods and services
and would provide the basis for an alignment of the world's
population in terms of what the producers did rather than in terms of
where they lived.

b. Thus far, in the detailed statement of local, district and
divisional organization, only the barest outline has been given,
first because it was the intention to discuss the world economic
problem rather than the local problem, and second because the
internal structure of each industry would be determined largely by
that industry, and would, of necessity, vary considerably with the
varying industrial conditions. The organized world industries,
however, are the economic framework of the producers' society, and
their organization becomes a matter of the most supreme concern to
producers everywhere.

c. The control of affairs in each of the major industrial groups
would be vested in a congress of from 500 to 1000 members, meeting at
least as often as once in each January.

A. The members of the divisional congresses, within these same
industrial groups, are the candidates for election to the world
congress. They are voted for directly by the workers in each
division, and if they are elected to the industrial congress, the
places thus made vacant in the divisional congress are filled by
special election.

B. Each division would send a minimum of twenty members to the
industrial congress, and an additional member for each specified
quota of workers.

d. The industrial congress would pick an executive committee from its
own membership. This committee would m
