7. All members of the army should enter into fraternal relations with the professional societies[69] of the local Soviets, remembering that such organizations are those of the laboring people. All work should be done after having come to an understanding with them. [69] _i.e._, trades-unions. 8. Indefatigable energy should be shown during the work, as much as if it were a combat or a fight. 9. The necessary efforts, as well as the results to be obtained, should be carefully calculated. Every pound of Soviet bread, and every log of national wood should be tabulated. Everything should contribute to the foundation of the Socialist activities. 10. The Commandants and Commissars should be responsible for the work of their men while work is going on, as much as if it were a combat. Discipline should not be relaxed. The Communist Societies should during the work be models of perseverance and patience. 11. The Revolutionary Tribunals should punish the lazy and parasites and the thieves of national property. 12. Conscientious soldiers, workmen, and revolutionary peasants should be in the first rank. Their bravery and devotion should serve as an example to others and inspire them to act similarly. 13. The front should be contracted as much as possible. Those who are useless should be sent to the first ranks of the workers. 14. Start and finish your work, if the locality permits it, to the sound of revolutionary hymns and songs. Your task is not the work of a laborer, but a great service rendered the Socialist Fatherland. 15. Soldiers of the Third Army, called the First Revolutionary Army of Labor. Let your example prove a great one. All Russia will rise to your call. The Radio has already spread throughout the universe all that the Third Army intends in being transposed into the First Army of Labor. Soldier Workmen! Do not lower the red standard! _The President of the War Council of the Revolutionary Republic_, [Signed] TROTSKY.
