TO THE SMALL COUNCIL OF PEOPLE’S COMMISSARS

Comrade Kiselyov or his deputy as Chairman of the Small Council of People’s Commissars

August 27, 1921

Comrade Kiselyov!

A number of statements indicate 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 (Comrade Kiselyov) as chairman.
The commission’s task:
to thoroughly prepare the question (and the relevant decrees) so that the introduction of charges is adjusted to the workers’ earnings and their situation in general (exemptions for workers, etc., or something of the kind, the time-limits and conditions for introducing charges, etc.).
Chairman of the Council of People’s Commissars
V. Ulyanov (Lenin)

P.S. All these questions are to be dealt with only through the Large Council of People’s Commissars.
