Moscow.—In line with the Soviet union's new policy of decentralization in government and industry, the All Union Trade Unions council has decided to split Russia's 47 trade unions into 154.
The purpose of this decision, which has the personal support of Josef V. Stalin, secretary general of the Communist party, is to make the unions more efficient and stronger, it was explained, and bring the men into closer contact with union leadership.
The divisions will be both geographical and occupational. For instance, the gigantic All Union organization of coal mines will be split into three unions—one for central Russia, another for the east, and another in the Donetz basin region.
The railroad workers' organization will be divided into unions of engineers, trainmen and similar groups.
The existing unions are felt to be unwieldy, some having more than 1,000,000 members each.
