PROJECT OF POINT "G*.
Collective supply both to workers and employees is introduced only with the following rules:
1) each enterprise, where collective supply is introduced,
concludes a special agreement with the government;
2) under this agreement, the enterprise (represented by the board and specially selected persons) undertakes to steadily reduce the number of workers and employees and increase their productivity, as well as labor discipline to a normal level. In industry, the enterprise corresponds to a department OR sub-department, etc. for Soviet employees.
3) Failure to comply with the agreement entails punishment up to the deprivation of all supply.
1 The draft resolution on the collective remuneration of labor of employees in Soviet institutions was in the Council of People's Commissars on June 14, 21 and 24, 1921. In the last
meeting, the Council of People's Commissars adopted a fundamental decision on the transition to collective remuneration of labor of employees of Soviet institutions, for Moscow and Petrograd from July 1, and for the rest of the republic from September 1, 1921 and created a commission on the issue of collective remuneration of labor of employees in Soviet institutions. A. B. Khalatov, L. I. Ginzburg and A. S. Kiselev, who were members of the commission, received the task:
"To finalize this project in order to accurately determine, even on the basis of small sample data, how many Soviet employees will result after the reduction and what their monetary and in-kind remuneration will be. The norm of the reduction, which should be achieved, is to consider a minimum of two times, and if possible, three times. The guiding principle for the commission should be to achieve such a situation in which satisfactory labor productivity in Soviet institutions would be ensured."
On June 28, based on the report of A. B. Khalatov and L. I. Ginzburg, the Council of People's Commissars adopted decisions, largely formulated by Lenin.
Point "st" of the resolution was edited by Lenin according to the draft resolution prepared by A. B. Khalatov.
Starting from point "g", the resolution was formulated by Lenin on a separate sheet of paper and adopted by the Council of People's Commissars without changes.
The final text of the resolution on the collective remuneration of labor of employees of Soviet institutions was adopted by the Council of People's Commissars on July 8, 1921.

I.
To Comrade
Korostelev
[July 22, 1921
1]
Of course, the whole point is to help enterprises. You are right. We will begin to transfer individual enterprises to collective supply immediately. Both L. B. Kamenev and I are in favor of this. We will pass a list in the Council of Labor and Defense, which you will give, in agreement with the Moscow Presidium] (or against the Moscow workers, if they balk). Please answer me about the messenger.
With communist greetings, Lenin.
II.
To Comrade Smolyaninov

member of the Collegium of the Workers' and Peasants' Inspection, who has special assignments from me.
See him and if you cannot satisfy all his requests, then let me know, so that I can consider some measures of
assistance on my part.
Lenin.
