Copy to Strievsky

Volkov, representative of
Petrosoyuz, [1] and Misyursky, a delegate from the conference of workers’ co-operatives of the Northern Region, declare that there was not and could
not be any shadow of assistance to counter-revolutionaries
in paying salaries and wages to office staff and workers
one month in advance. They promise to dispel the misunderstanding that has arisen, and express a desire to work
with complete loyalty on the basis of the new decree. [2]
Khinchuk confirms their assurances.

Please go into the matter closely and give the co– operators an opportunity to work.

Lenin
Chairman, Council of People’s Commissars
