The Ukhtomsky (Lyubertsy) Works of Moscow Gubernia, Moscow Uyezd, an agricultural machinery plant, has coal and materials and the workers (1,300 employees) have not dispersed. It would be particularly important to support such a factory.

Please discuss urgently whether the workers of this factory can be given food assistance as a special measure. Please telephone your reply to me.^[1]

V. Ulyanov (Lenin)
Chairman, C.P.C.

Notes
