V. I. Lenin

Draft Decision for the C.P.C.

Expressing its extreme regret that the proper commissariats are extremely slow in taking practical steps towards
switching over the metalworks to useful work, the C.P.C, asks the Petrograd
Metalworkers Trade Union, in co-operation with the Commissariat for
Labour, the Petrograd Soviet and the Supreme Economic Council, to start
immediately converting the metalworks to repair work on and production of
railway equipment as well as to the production of goods suitable for
exchange for grain, etc.

All military orders to be suspended.
