Presidium of the Metalworkers’ Congress, Tula
(Copy to be sent to Melnichansky)
I welcome with all my heart the decision of the Tula Metalworkers’ Congress to increase tenfold the output of arms, etc.[1] Please inform me monthly, by post or by messenger, exactly what actual successes are being achieved on all your decisions.
Lenin
- ↑ In its telegram to Lenin of July 11, 1919, the Presidium of the Tula Gubernia Metalworkers’ Congress declared that the Congress had voted for a tenfold increase in arms output (underlined twice by Lenin), the military training of all workers and the forming of reserve workers’ regiments that would be ready at any minute to go into action against the whiteguards. The Presidium asked Lenin to convey to the Council of People’s Commissars “the metalworkers’ socialist pledge to die or conquer all imperialists of this country and from abroad”.
