Copy to Comrade Bogdanov
” to Comrade Fomin

On November 14, the Council of People’s Commissars examined the question of handing over the
sleeper-impregnation factories from the S.E.C. to the People’s
Commissariat for Railways, and it was decided to do so.

Because I have some doubts about this decision being correct, I am asking the Presidium of the All-Russia C.E.C.
to make a detailed re-examination of this matter in substance, giving each side at least 20 minutes to present
their case.

A representative of the S.E.C. will report for one side,
and a representative of the People’s Commissariat for
Railways, for the other.

All the material in this case will be presented to you by the C.P.C. business manager, Comrade Gorbunov , to
whom I have given an assignment to that effect. [1]

V. Ulyanov (Lenin )

Chairman, Council of People’s Commissars

Having heard both sides, the All-Russia C.E.C. decided in favour of the People’s Commissariat for Railways.
