By a unanimous vote delegates approved a resolution providing for the j organisation of mass production industries along industrial or vortical lines rather than along craft' or horizontal lines. Henceforth, whore a carpenter employed in the automobile .industry was a member of the Carpenters' Union, ho will now belong to tho automotive union.
