divisional organization for each of the major industrial
groups. A district might comprise only one branch of an industry such
as textile manufacturing or electric transport. All of these
districts would be included, however, in the particular divisional
organization with which they would logically affiliate. Thus there
might be a district organization for the textile workers of Lyons and
vicinity, and another district organization for the metal workers of
St. Etienne and vicinity. Both districts would be included in the
divisional organization of the manufacturing industries of the
Mediterranean Basin.

c. The control of each industry within a division would be vested in
a divisional congress, elected directly by all of the workers in the
division who were engaged in that industry.

A. The members of this congress would be elected by districts, with
a minimum of at least one member from each district, and an additional
member from each district for each additional quota of workers over
a specified minimum. The details would necessarily vary with the
division, but if there were 100 districts in a division, with a
million workers in all of the districts, each district might be
allowed a minimum of two members in the divisional congress, with
one additional member for each 5,000 workers in excess of 10,000.
Under such an arrangement, a district with 25,000 workers would
have five representatives in the congress, and so on.

B. The members of the district committees are the candidates for
election to the divisional congresses.

d. The divisional congress meets at least once in each year, and
within thirty days of its election.

e. The divisional congress picks from its own membership a divisional
executive committee, which meets at intervals through the year, and
is responsible for the affairs of the division when the divisional
congress is not in session.

f. The divisional congress selects from its membership a divisional
executive board which sits constantly. Its members are members of the
division executive committee, and it is responsible to the division
executive committee when the division congress is not in session.

g. Each divisional executive board picks a staff of experts or
engineers, who are approved by the divisional executive committee,
and who const
