TO THE SMALL SOVNARKOM
August 27, 1921

A whole series of statements indicates that the introduction of charges (for services, etc.) often places the workers in an impossible position.

A commission must be appointed consisting of:
1) 2 from the All-Russia Central Council of Trade Unions
2) 1 representative each from the Petrograd and Moscow Soviets
3) 2 members of the Council of People’s Commissars
4) the Chairman of the Small Council of People’s Commissars—as chairman.

Terms of reference for the commission:
to prepare thoroughly the question (and the relevant decrees) of making the introduction of charges conform to the workers’ earnings and their position in general (exemptions for workers, and the like, or something of this sort, the time-limits and conditions for introducing charges, etc.).

Chairman of the Council of People’s Commissars
V. Ulyanov (Lenin)

All these questions to be dealt with only through the Big Council of People’s Commissars.
