Take away the lands of
your own wealthy landowners. Take over their grain, their inventoried
property and live-stock for the cultivation of the lands of the
toiling Cossacks, who are ruined by the war.
“Forward, Cossacks, to the fight for the common cause of the people!
“Long live the toiling Cossacks!
“Long live the union of the Cossacks, the soldiers, peasants and
workers!
“Long live the power of the Soviets of Cossacks’, Soldiers’, Workers’
and Peasants’ Deputies.
“Down with the war! Down with the landowners and the
Kornilovist-Generals!
“Long live Peace and the Brotherhood of peoples!”
_Council of People’s Commissars._

FROM THE COMMISSION ON PUBLIC EDUCATION ATTACHED TO THE CENTRAL
CITY DUMA
“Comrades Workingmen and Workingwomen!
“A few days before the holidays, a strike has been declared by the
teachers of the public schools. The teachers side with the
bourgeoisie against the Workers’ and Peasants’ Government.
“Comrades, organise parents’ committees and pass resolutions against
the strike of the teachers. Propose to the Ward Soviets of Workers’
and Soldiers’ Deputies, the Trade Unions, the Factory-Shop and Party
Committees, to organise protest meetings. Arrange with your own
resources Christmas trees and entertainments for the children, and
demand the opening of the schools, after the holidays, at the date
which will be set by the Duma.
