 mediately launch wide agitation for their re-instatement by the General Workers' Union.

In conclusion, the congress decides that the first session of the Committee of Action should take place in the month of September, and that it should immediately begin its work of agitation and propaganda for the slogans of the R. I. L. U. and the application of the resolutions of its international congresses.

HE Belgian Commission of the Third Congress of the R. I. L. U. having considered the activity of the revolutionary minorities within the Syndical Commission, states that:

Notwithstanding the repeated intervention of the Latin Bureau of the R. I. L. DU. nothing has been done for the creation of a strong revolutionary opposition.

In view of the fact that the leaders of the reformist Syndical Commission accepts the wording of the agreement of December 14, which ary fighters must more than ever make the struggle for the unity of the labor movement the basis of their activities.

They will insist upon the necessity of the struggle for the restoration of unity within the Syndical Commission as energetically as the Knights of Labor will do this from without according to the directions of the R. I. L. U.

The R. I. L. U. will render all necessary support to the revolutionary
