8/VIII.
I have just again received from a reliable source information that board members are starving (for example, Markov in the Commissariat for Railways, and others). I insist most emphatically that the Central Committee 1) direct the Central Executive Committee to issue to all Commissariat board members (and those of similar status) a grant of 5,000 rubles each;
2) put all of them permanently on specialist’s maximum pay.
It’s too bad, really, to have both them and their families starving!!
Some 100–200 people must be helped out.
