In its Resolution on Preparations for the
ruin hI.L.O. Congress, the Sixth Session of
the RI.L.U. Central Council emphasized the
political significance of the preparatorv can,-
paign for the Fifth Congress. especially at the
present stage of the maturing class struggles
IN the various countries of Europe, America
and the East.
ms campaign should aim primarily at veri-
lying the execution of the basic decisions of the
fourth R.LL.U. Congress and taking stock of
the new developments in the International Rev.
dictionary Trade Union movement since the
Fourth Congress development and consolda
ton OF the revolutionary TU opposition in
Germany, the increased number of strikes in
France the growing of new revolutionary
unions in the U.S.A etc.) Further, we must
carefully note and give good publicity to the
experience gained by the Red International of
Labor Unions during the last ten years of work
and struggle
The Sixth Session urged all the R.LL.U. sec
tons to start off systematic activities to make
proper preparations for the Fifth RLL.U.
Congress and to get all the workers to dis

of the Fifth R.LL.U. Congress-which must
prove new milestone in the development of the
International Revolutionary T.U. movement

preparatory activities that will be undertaken
The Revolutionary T. u press and the fac
tory papers must play prominent part in the
preparatory campaign. Only short space of
time now separates us from the Fifth Congress-.
We must therefore not lose single day in the
work of mobilizing all our forces and means,
which must also include all the revolutionary
papers, AS distinguished from the Amsterdam
leaders who prepare their Congresses in the
undisturbed atmosphere of their offices, deli
berately avoiding any attempt to get the rank
and file to take hand in the preparations,
we must see to it that all our preparations are
carried out with the direct participation and
support of the broad working masses.
We must Immediately start off system
attic campaign in the revolutionary T. U. papers
calling attention to all the questions connected
with the Fifth R.LLU. Congress, which should
be regular feature in all the numbers from
now on
We must Immediately open up the columns
of the central Revolutionary T. U. papers for
discussion Of the questions of the Fifth
RIL.U. Congress, or set aside special pages
for this purpose. All steps must be taken to
get the broadcast sections Of the industrial and
agricultural workers, the unemployed, the wo-
men workers and the young workers, the or
gained and the unorganized, to take part lin
the discussion
