The first decades of the twentieth century saw a spontaneous and isolated event until then, the creation of national-scale unions led by a plan. Although the city of Buenos Aires had a preeminence in union activity, we see from the hegemony of the syndicalist tendency in the mid-1910s, an exponential growth in the interior of Argentina. The advance of the trade unionists was reflected in an increase in the workers' conflict, however it required a previous step, the creation of the organizational device for the economic struggle. The construction of new unions was arduous and precise of the militant predisposition of those unionists who mobilized through the interior of Argentina with the objective of founding new workers' organizations. These militants created a tactic that was sustained over time until at least the thirties. Organizational tours were the key to success. Activity carried out by some militants, often alone, registering different locations, meeting with workers and creating new unions.
