Mir_ers of the Karaganda coal basin report that they completed the Five-
Year Plan for coal output by 25 November 1950 and the 1950 year plan by 22 Dam
c.:-m}?er 1950 Labor preductlvity for the basin was 15 percent higher than for
19~9.r1)
Serikov, manager of the Leninugol' Trust, one of the important trusts in
the'Karagandaugol~ Combine, stated in a conversation with a correspondent of
Kazakhstanskaya Pravda *hat the workers in his trust had steadily increased
their coal ou+.put? and completed the first-quarter program ahead of schedule
despite difficult winter conditions. He said that the 'daily output in the
majority oz mines was 8-10 p=scent higher than in 1950, and that the largest
increase in output was being achieved by the Mines imeni Zhdanov, imeni Kali-
nin, and ito 19, the largest mines in the trusto
Recentlyt Serikov continued, Donbass combines were put into operation in
mines No 4'7, 48, and 49, and loading machines were sent to other minese Work
is organized on the cycle work schedule at several mechanized faces of the
Mines imeni Kalinin, imeni Zhdanov, and No 49e Particularly great success
was achieved by the first section of the Mine imeni Zhdanov which was the 1'p,~,
first in -the trust to complete a cycle bier day along a 160-meter face in a
thick coal seamo(2) This is the Verkhnyaya Marianna seam, the thickest in
the Karaganda coal basin, and it is being worked by several of the leading
mines of the dreao(3)
Serikov stated that aster the first section of the Mine imeni Zhdanov had
been converted to the cycle system, the average daily output doub~.ed and the
shift output per miner rose to 12 tons instead of the quota of 5 ~onso He said
that the section was using heavy KMP-1 cutting machines and heavy scraper con-
veyers and was delivering 1,080-1,100 tons of coal daily, that is, 345-365 tons
above the plan ~, _
