1. By 1940, after several changes in the administrative organization charged
with the mining, distribution and transportation of coal, the planning of
annual production quotas and the control of the fulfillment of these
quotas was concentrated in an agency known as "Gosplan" (State Planning
Commission) Based on quotas of various coal consumers (heavy industry,
light industry and central government agencies, local administrations,
hospitals and other public organizations plus urban and rural population
needs) "Goeplan" compiled statistics for past years and set up control
figures for the future. These statistics always included plans for the
transportation of the coal as produced under the quotas. The control
figures for quotas to be fulfilled by the coal industry are not wholly
determined on the basis of true statistics. They are more often set
forth arbitrarily and with a complete disregard for realities. Usually,
before the quotas are published, they ars submitted and confirmed by the
Politburo and, as a rule, the Politburo will arbitrarily increase the
quotas in order to create an atmosphere of tension and fear for those
responsible for the execution of the quotas.
2. The need of a central planning agency was sharply demonstrated during a
period in 33_31 when highly inflated figures for coal production were
set. It wdr4Cpmllod of agonizing efforts to fulfill the orders of the
military. The DoMts Basin was supposed to produce 6o million metric
tons of coal for the period and 75 to 80 million metric tons thereafter.
A daily output of 210 to 220 thousand metric tons was called for while
actually 180 to 185 thousand was reached. The problem was further
aggravated for the mines by the fact that the railroads kept sending
daily all coal cars as called for in the plan of the period. There was
not enough coal to load these cars but to return them empty or to retain
them idle was the equivalent of a criminal offense. The central
administration in Moscow was the only agency that could change the
number of cars being dispatched daily. This is only one example of the
complete disorganization and Arbitrary rules that controlled the production
of coal.

After the the control figures for output and transportation of coal have been
confirmed by "Gomplan" they are sent on to the Ministry of Fuel Transporta-
tion4nd to theHorganization known as "Ugledbyt" (The Min Commission for

6. The "Uglesbyt" agency executes all loading operations while the Departments
of Exploitation and Traction of the Ministry of Railroads execute all haul-
age orders required for the shipment of coal. Neither of these agencies
can cancel or change an order or shipment in any way. Changes in the
amounts of coal to be loaded and shipped can be made only by an authorized
representative for "Haulages", provided that such changes can be justified.
When a Mine receives its copy of the issue slip (Naryad) it becomes fully
responsible for loading a specified amount of coal at a specified time.
The railroad station, after it receives its copy of the issue slip)dispatches
the required number of freight cars to the mine at a set time. These cars
can be sent to the mine loading points in three parts or all at one time.
Loading operations are scheduled to start at six PM. Six hours are allowed
to load an ordinary train and two hours to load a direct-destination
(marshrutnyy) train. The loading time is calculated from the moment
the empty cars arrive at the loading point at the mine siding to the
time when the train is turned over to the railroad station. To take
care of all of these operations, coal trusts have transportation sections
with switch engines assigned to them and individual mines have loading
sections (a crew of loaders). If the cars are loaded by hand, two men
are required to load a 20 ton (metric) in three to four hours. Sometimes
mining operations are cut in half in order to secure enough man power
to load a train within the two hour or four hour period.
7. In order to be able to promptly fulfill the order (or orders) called for
on the issue slips, a coal mine must have enough coal on hand already
mined. However, this is not always true. Sometimes the cars have to be
loaded directly with coal coming directly from the mine. However, this
presents a problem, for it cannot always be done, particularly when the
issue slips call for more coal than the mine can produce in time to meet
requirements called for, when the current production consists of a
different type of coal than called for on the issue slip and when the
current coal production has a greater ash content than stipulated on the
issue slip. (In the latter cases, it is sometimes necessary to unload the
coal after it has been loaded and then enrich it and reanalyze it, after
which it is reloaded. Since most of the unloading and loading is done by
hand, this causes considerable delay and waste of time).
8. The loading departments of the mines are required to take specimens from
each ear load of coal to be shipped and to send them at once to the
chemical laboratory for qualitative analysis, Each mine has representae
tives-from the various factories and other organizations which ultimately
receivethe coal being .shipped. They inspect and check each shipment
ordered by-their respective organizations. In addition, all shipments
are inspected by representativearfrom "Uglesbyt". All coke-coal shipments
are inspected by representatives ,frOx,a"inekoksugol" (Inspection of
Coke-Coal), -There are:occasiOns, when,a.mine is loading coal for several
� consumers simaltaneously, that there are as many as 10 different inspectors
present.
9. Specimens of coal for analysis are taken from the car loads according to the
instructions of the representatives supervising loading operations. The
specimens are placed in four separate containers, one going to the trust
laboratory, one to the consumer (who makes his own analysis) one to the
central laboratory for the type of coal (such as the central.laboratorY
for coke-coal), and one to the mine for record purposes. All four
containers are sealed by both mine authorities and consumer representatives.
As mentioned, these specimens are taken at once to the chemical laboratory
of the mining trust where the percentage of volative agents, ash and sulphur
are determined. Each type of coal shipped to consumers must meet certain
requirements as provided for in the over-all plan. The ash content
requirement must be strictly observed. The results of the laboratory
analysis are always known by the time loading operational are completed.

Loading operations take up all of the time allowed for in the time schedule,
hence, if negative results are received from the analysis it is necessary to
unload and. reload the cars. This means delay and detention of cars beyond the
time allowed. When this occurs, the railroad stations impOse heavy fines.
Therefore, this means that those responsible for the loading operations can be
charged with criminal responsibility. However, instances of' unloading and re-
loading re relatively rare and do not constitute a major problem.

processed by claesifination yards in accordance with special schedules and
the transportation, sections of the mines are responsible for seeing that
the railroad stations deliver the cars on time.
14. Since 1933-1934 the railroads have been using schedules for passenger and
freight trains. Freight trains are of two type-se composed (miscellaneous)
and direct destination (marehrutnyy). The technical speed of a freight
train is supposed. tube 50 kms per hour. Actually,however, because of
frequent stops pot proVided for in the schedule, traveling speed is
reduced to 25 sta 30 kma per hour. Thus, to make the -300 kms trip from.
the Donets Basin to Kharkev requires 10 to 12 hours. Two to four hours
(depending upon the type and number of cars) is given over for unloading.
Two to three more hours are required for technical inspections. Unserviceable
ears are separated and sent to repair shops. Then, too, trains of "empties"
sometimes have a few (=re' leaded with cargo going in the same direction.
These tars are often placed behind the locomotive and followed by the empty
cars, causing additional delays in -making the locomotive available. Thus
cars spend six to eight hours' at the point of their destination -and. between
24 and 30 hours are used up for a round trip from the Donets Basin to
Kharkov. (The return trip from Kharkov takes about leven or eight hours,
Which includes watering steps.) fforte are made to cut down this round �
trip tiMe. As an incentive, locomotive engineers are given rewards for
strict' adherence to scheduleal such a'reward being called a "poverstnyy"
a "per kilometer bonus" It is to the engineer's beet intereet, then, to
work, at maximum epeeds and it to 'a minimum the time spent at station
stops. Needless to aay, accident are frequent as a result, The average
traveling speed of a "composed" freight train is 25 to 30 kme par hour.
A record figure of 40 kme par hour wau sash/owed under exceptionally favorable
conditions, that is no unseheduled stops, no breakdowne� etc. Direct
destination, trains have at ti meR reached an average of 60 kmu par hour
(during the period 1940-1945) Such trains have three or four water tanke.
Some other examples 'ef traveling time (one way) from. the Donets are:
sa) Donets Bvoin to Lital (300-320 km) five boas
b) " " INemorino (500-52C kme). 6-10 hours
c)
?mese (500-520 kme) 20 hours
d) 01 Moscow (900 to 1100 kms) 28-32 hears
e(cow bound trains leave the Donets Basin by the South, Donets
an North aeletserailroads. The length of the trip varies
eecoeueea eo the Various ,points of origin). 40-42 hours is
reqUired-for feeempeettraire,
15. The "direct destination" .,(Marshruttyy) train is always loaded at one specific
loading 'point,. for instaate,' a mining trust point. The cargo may consist of
different types of coal, however, it is destined to one specific consumer.
The railroadsbear a heavy responsiaility for the speedy and, safe handling
of such trains. Guards from the consumer organization are sometimes placed
on the train as an extreepreeautien. Made up of the new type 60-ton cars,
the net load. is between, three and. feur thousand tons. Moving, according to
a set Schedale, the only ,stops made are for water and to remove damaged
cars. If all phases or the moveMent of the shipment are met according to
schedule, 'the following receive incentive rewards
