hrough the various constituent industrial groups.

The structural organization of the world producers' federation would be
similar to that of the United States of America or that of the Russian
Federated Soviet Republic. The constituent groups would be economic and
occupational rather than political or geographic, but the principle of
federated autonomous groups would be the same. Each of the major
industrial groups that belonged to the world producers' federation would
have sovereign power over those matters which affected that group alone.
The federation, on the other hand, would have jurisdiction over matters
affecting two or more of the world industrial groups, as well as over
those matters which were of common concern to all of the member groups.

7. _The Form of Organization_

The general lines of organization for the world producers' federation
would be somewhat as follows:

1. The workers in each of the major industrial groups would vote in
June of each year for the members of a world parliament which would
be the central authority in the world producers' federation.

2. The world parliament would consist of from 800 to 1000 delegates,
elected in each of the major industrial groups by the producers in
that group.

a. Each industrial group would be entitled to at least 50 members in
the world parliament, and to one additional member for each 50,000
workers over two and one half millions. But no group would be
entitled to more than 150 members in the world parliament.

b. The members of the world parliament would be elected by popular
vote in each of the major industrial groups, the franchise being
extended to all producers, including those who had been producers and
were rendered incapable of activity through age or infirmity.

c. Each industrial division would be entitled to at least five
members of the parliamentary delegation from that particular
industrial group, but the details of representation from each of the
major industrial groups would be left in the hands of the group.

3. The world parliament would be elected in June and would meet in
July of each year. Since the world congresses of each of the major
industrial groups would meet in the preceding January, they would
have six months to thresh out their individual problems, before they
were called upon to consider the general problems confronting al
