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


Notes

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