therefore the organs of the Protection of Labor pay particular attention to the housing question. Detailed regulations concerning the construction and furnishing, etc., of the houses in connection with the factories and works are issued by the People's Commissariat for Labor. This Commissariat has also drawn up model plans of houses and separate workers' dwellings, as well as of whole workers' settlements where the demands of hygiene fully coincide with comfort and economy. In the various localities every measure is taken to improve the sanitary conditions of the workers' dwellings and to reduce the prevailing lack of room. The entire working class is interested in taking part in the improvement of housing conditions, furnishing etc., through their factory committees. An extensive sanitary and educational activity is carried on among them for this purpose.
