if the mines are to meet their pledge to complete the Five-Year Plan in 4 years.
The productivity of workers in the main mining skills is still lagging behind the
prewar,level. Labor productivity of loaders is only 81 percent of the 1940 level.
and only 97 percent for workers in the stopes. An extremely large number of miners
are not meeting their technical nozms. The utilization of machinery in the majority
of mines is far 'from satisfactory. The proportion of mechanized coal loading in
the "Zabaykalugol"'Trust is only 3.3 percent, cutting 31 percent, and 2--aed.ing
coal and rock in stores, 5 percent; Utilization of existing mechanized equipment to
completely unsatisfactory. Inefficient worker discipline is arother chief cause
for the low productivity of labor and machines.
