A labor organization to correctly represent the working class must have two things in view. First It must combine the wage-workers in such a way that it can most successfully fight the battles and protect the interests of the working people of today in their struggle for fewer hours, more wages and better conditions. Secondly It must offer a final solution of the labor problem an emancipation from strikes, injunctions, bull-pens and scabbing of one against the other. Study the Chart and observe how this organization will give recognition to control of shop affairs, provide perfect Industrial Unionism, and converge the strength of all organized workers to a common center, from which any weak point can be strengthened and protected. Observe, also, how the growth and development of this organization will build up within itself the structure of an Industrial Democracy a Workers' Co-Operative Republic which must finally burst the shell of capitalist government, and be the agency by which the workers will operate the industries, and appropriate the products to themselves. One obligation for all. A union man once and in one industry, a union man always and in all industries. Universal transfers. Universal emblem. All workers of one industry in one union; all unions of workers in one big labor alliance the world over.

Article I, Section 1. This Organization shall be known as "THE INDUSTRIAL WORKERS OF THE WORLD." Sec. 2. (a) And shall be composed of thirteen (13) International Industrial Departments, subdivided in industrial unions of closely kindred industries in the appropriate organizations for representation [sic] in the departmental administration. The subdivision International and National Industrial Unions shall have complete industrial autonomy in their respective internal affairs, provided the General Executive Board shall have power to control these Industrial Unions in matters concerning the interest of the general welfare. These departments shall be designated as follows:
Department of MINING INDUSTRY.
Department of the TRANSPORTATION INDUSTRY.
Department of the METAL AND MACHINERY INDUSTRY.
Department of GLASS AND POTTERY INDUSTRY.
Department of the FOOD STUFFS INDUSTRY.
Department of BREWERY, WINE AND DISTILLERY INDUSTRY.
Department of FLORICULTURAL, STOCK AND GENERAL FARMING INDUSTRIES.
Department of the BUILDING INDUSTRY.
Department of the TEXTILE INDUSTRIES.
Department of the LEATHER INDUSTRIES.
Department of the WOOD WORKING INDUSTRIES.
Department of PUBLIC SERVICE INDUSTRIES.
Department of MISCELLANEOUS MANUFACTURING.
[Article I, Section 2 refers to "thirteen National Industrial Departments", but Section 4 lists only six:]
Sec. 4. The Departments shall be designated as follows:
Department of Agricultural, Land, Fisheries, and Water Products.
Department of Mining.
Department of Transportation and Communication.
Department of Manufacturing and General Production.
Department of Construction.
Department of Public Service.
The Report of the Provisional GEB recommended
"That the Convention elect a committee to re-arrange the Industrial Chart and make provisions for the revision of the 'O. B. U. the Greatest Thing on Earth'."
--The New Solidarity, No 27, May 17, 1919, p. 2, col. 3.
Education & Literature Committee recommended, among other things,
"That the I. W. W. print pamphlets, leaflets, books, etc., that deal with industry, explaining the course of the raw material to the finished product in each industry; and that as soon as possible a complete industrial education system be developed." . . . It was then moved and seconded that Headquarters get out the questionnaire that was going to be gotten out before, and send it out to the different members, so that they can get busy on these Industrial Pamphlets. Fellow Worker Chairman Embree explained that the questionnaire covered as nearly as possible every separate part of the workings of each industry. After some discussion the question was called for, put, and the motion declared carried.
--Ibid. at 6, col. 2. The newspaper does not report whether or not these recommendations were adopted, but subsequent events indicate that they were.

Whereas, it has been the policy of the members of the different Industrial Unions to line up their mothers and wives into the Industrial Union in which the members themselves are organized, regardless of whether their mothers and wives work in that industry or not, and
Whereas, by doing this we are misdirecting a lot of useful energy, due to the fact that these mothers and wives of wage workers have no function to perform in the industry in which they do not work and consequently cannot understand how to best function in the affairs pertaining to that industry, and
Whereas, primarily the mothers and wives are now functioning through the schools' bi-monthly mother meetings; which are being conducted as a regular business meeting, and
Whereas, the mothers and wives of members have a function to perform in the I. W. W. and can perform that function more effectively when they are placed in [the] proper Industrial Union, and
Whereas, the function of Educational Workers' Industrial Union No. 630 is the physical and mental development of children, therefore be it
Resolved, that the I. W. W. place this important energy of the mothers and wives of I. W. W. members into Educational Workers' Industrial Union No. 630, so they can function under their natural environment the same as other industrial workers.
[Art. I, Sec. 3 (c) numbers the Industrial Departments 1 through 6 for the first time. List of Industrial Unions renames IU 140 "Floriculture Workers' Industrial Union No. 140"; renames IU 650 "General Utilities Workers' Industrial Union No. 650."]

For the present this division also includes quarry workers and such as are engaged in the mining of salt, sulphur, clay, borax, mica, bromide, graphite, hoda, gypsum, asphalt, limestone, sandstone, whetstone, marble, onyx, slates, building stone, granite, etc. All precious gems, salines, salt, and soda dry works, etc.

NOTE:--If this Department be subdivided in industrial unions only there would have been no provision made for workers in the various industrial sections, who, while included in the Industrial Union, still have problems peculiar to their own activities, and require an arrangement which will enable them to meet and deal with these problems as they arise. The industrial unions in this Department include so many diversified callings that unless the various, well-defined groups are equipped with organization groupings which will easily and readily enable them to find industrial expression they will be loth to organize. Organization of the working class must necessarily reflect the capitalist arrangement in industry. It must not lag behind, nor should it anticipate. In doing either it would forfeit its claim to being scientific.
Therefore, by sectionalizing these industrial unions we are enabled to arrange the workers upon each kind of raw material until it has been converted into a finished product and ready for use, whether these products be food, clothing or instruments of production. The several sections of any given industrial union are thus put in the position where the workers can accomplish the maximum benefit for themselves, and are qualified to render the greatest support to their associated sections in the industrial union and to any other set (or sets) of workers as well.
