SCORE BUREAUCRATIC METHODS FOR PRODUCTION LAG
The remaining 9 weeks of the year will decide whether the 1951 production.
plan will be fulfilled. The results of the 7 November competition, however,
plus a concentrated effort in the time that remains will permit the production
lag to be made up, and the production plan exceeded. In addition to the effect
of the approaching deadline, individual responsibility is now felt more deeply
by the workers than ever before.
Bureaucratic methods in the work competition movement retarded a high de-
gree of activation of the labor force. Often, the motion for collective con-
tracts of a shop originated in the shop triangle arty-trade union -management
without the workers' knowledge. Although, on paper, the number of workers en-
gaged in the work competition movement increased, challenges and competition
pacts frequently were not followed by actual competition. The officials who
thought they were fulfilling their duty with respect to the work competition
movement in this manner only tricked their superior agencies, and themselves.
Former bureaucratic methods also inhibited enthusiasm in functionaries in charge
of organizing the activation of labor. Preparatory work in connection with the
7 November work competition drive, however, was a radical departure from pre-
vious, lax practice; workers were consulted individually, and the joint respon-
sibility pledge based in their individual, voluntary pledges..
